Topic: sensory prediction

In this talk I outline the technical challenges and current solutions to layer fMRI. Specifically, I describe our acquisition strategies for maximizing resolution, spatial coverage, time efficiency as well as, perhaps most importantly, vascular specificity. Novel applications from our group, including mapping feedforward and feedback connections to M1 during task and sensory input modulation and S1 during a sensory prediction task are be shown. Layer specific activity in dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex during a working memory task is also demonstrated. Additionally, I’ll show preliminary work
