Project Overview
Advances in neuroimaging over the past several years have provided researchers with unprecedented access into the inner workings of the brain. Such data can be collected non-invasively from human subjects so that dynamic changes in brain and behavior can be captured during normal development, aging, learning and plasticity. However, the…
