My research is focused on developing and validating novel approaches to functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and using these methods to improve our understanding of brain function. This work includes approaches for quantitative neuroimaging and methods for assessing brain function via connectivity mapping. These developments are applied in the neurosurgical environment to localizing epileptogenic tissue and mapping function prior to surgical intervention. These studies provide a framework for validating the fMRI techniques through comparisons with cortical stimulation, behavioral analyses, Wada testing, and patient outcomes. They also improve our understanding of the link between fMRI signal changes and neuronal activity, through comparisons of fMRI in vivo with EEG?/?ERP recordings obtained in patients with depth electrodes and/or subdural grids. We are also interested in better understanding basic language and memory processing in humans and factors that influence the networks revealed by neuroimaging.
