Imaging of Cognitive Functions
General information
On May 31, HuMe and TESLA will host the symposium Imaging of Cognitive Functions, to be held in L201 at the Center for Languages and Literature, Lund University. The symposium will give an overview of different applications of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique and development of this method in world-leading research. The topics range from MRI-related basic research of visual, auditory, and language functions (Gallant, Schönwiesner, Roll, Horne) to method development (Topgaard), clinical research (Sundgren), as well as to the interface between these areas (Mannfolk, Ståhlberg).
