2x Research Associate positions in Human and Animal Neuroimaging

15 November 2021

2x Research Associate positions in Human and Animal Neuroimaging at the Adaptive Brain Lab (Univ of Cambridge; http://www.abg.psychol.cam.ac.uk ) as part of a new Wellcome Trust funded Collaborative award that bridges work across species (mice, humans) and scales (local circuits, global networks) to uncover the network and...

Ultra-High-Field Neuroimaging Reveals Fine-Scale Processing for 3D Perception Binocular vision plays a significant role in supporting our interactions with the surrounding environment. The fine-scale neural mechanisms that underlie the brain’s skill in extracting 3D structure from binocular signals are poorly understood...

New paper by Karlaftis et al in Cerebral Cortex

1 July 2021

Combining multimodal brain imaging (fMRI, MRS) with behavioural measures of visual adaptation and memory, we show that adaptive processing is supported by GABAergic interactions between two functional networks: a sensory-adaptation network (visual, intra-parietal, dlPFC) and a perceptual-memory network (angular, precuneus...

New work by Ke Jia et al on a step-by-step protocol for Ultra-high field imaging in the human brain.

1 April 2021

Ultra-high field (UHF) neuroimaging affords the sub-millimeter resolution that allows researchers to interrogate brain computations at a finer scale than that afforded by standard fMRI techniques. Here, we present a step-by-step protocol for using UHF imaging (Siemens Terra 7T scanner) to measure activity in the human...

Exciting work in the lab using Laminar fMRI reveals that adaptive processing involves recurrent processing within visual cortex and top-down influences from posterior parietal cortex via feedback. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.57637 elife_figure_final_resized.png

Adaptive Brain Lab open for volunteer studies

22 September 2020

We are very pleased to announce that the Adaptive Brain Lab is now open and invites volunteers for studies. We have reviewed and implemented government and University guidance, and have updated our procedures to create a COVID secure testing environment. Our procedures are carefully designed in order to mitigate against...

Using high-field laminar fMRI, we show that learning alters orientation specific representations in superficial V1 layers and enhances connectivity from visual to parietal cortex, suggesting that recurrent visual plasticity and feedforward connectivity gate perceptual decision making. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2020.08...
