Feds fund neuroimaging
Grants and donations will give
researchers the means to bring
new light to an array of brain
functions and disfunctions
Jody Burruss
Environment/Science/Technoiogy Reporter
The University is quickly making
a name for itself in its efforts to pro
pel research advancements in neu
roimaging, thanks to federal grants
and donations.
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

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.
