With a brand new office and bet ter research capabilities at a new lo cation, the University’s neuroimag ing program has built an infrastructure that allows for cross leveraging between its two centers. Funded by the Brain, Biology and Machine Initiative, which is aimed at bringing together collaborative research, the Neuroinfomaties Cen ter will be up and running this week at the Riverfront Research Park. The Neuroinfomaties Center will then work with researchers from the Robert and Beverly Lewis Cen ter for Neuroimaging, which was dedicated Oct. 14. “Individuals have a great deal of control over how they see the world,” Assistant Professor of Psy chology Ed Awh said in explanation of the field of neuroimaging. And now, University professors will have a better understanding of why people see what they do. The Neuroinfomaties Center will work to combine computational sci ence with neuroscience by building computational models of the brain and head to analyze data. This will allow researchers to better under stand the health of the brain and how it functions, Center Director Allen Malony said. The neuroimaging center is home to a high-powered, research-grade Courtesy photo This brain scan was taken by the fMRI machine at the Robert and Beverly Lewis Center for Neuroimaging neurographies lab. functional magnetic resonance im aging (fMRI) machine. The machine is the only one of its kind in the Pa cific Northwest used strictly for re search, psychology Assistant Profes sor Paul Dassonville said. Similar machines are used in hospitals but are only used for re search at night. Having unlimited access on campus now gives the University vast amounts of time to conduct research. The machine provides one of the best ways to look at how the brain works in relation to thought and be havior, Nunnally said. The machine will also help re searchers learn how the brain de cides what information to filter out, and why some people are unable to filter out information — such as those with Attention Deficit Disor der, Awh added. The machine may also uncover the reasons why the brain, changing with age, loses cognitive functions. “We know certain parts of the Turn to FMRI, page 5 Crime Watch Theft and Recoveries Monday, Oct. 21,6:05 p.m.: Bike reported stolen from Knight Library.
