Despite the enormous complexity of the human mind, fMRI techniques are able to partially observe the state of a brain in action. In this paper we describe an experimental setup for real-time fMRI in a bio-feedback loop. One of the main challenges in the project is to reach a detection speed, accuracy and spatial resolution [...]

Biofunctionalised nanoparticles – new MRI contrast agents
August 27th, 2009 admin Research within this project is based on the discovery of unique magnetic properties of nanosized materials. Gadolinium-containing nanoparticles can be used as tracers in molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mMRI) for functional assessment of human tissue. These particles are designed for MRI applications, with high potential for microscopic imaging. The main advantages are the high contrast [...]
