DESCRIPTION:*Speaker*: *Visiting in person* - Prof. Benedikt Poser (Maastr
 icht University)\n\n*Bio*: Professor Benedikt Poser is a renowned scientis
 t in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)\, particularly known fo
 r his work on advanced neuroimaging techniques. He has significantly contr
 ibuted to the development of methods such as multi-band imaging and functi
 onal MRI at ultra-high magnetic fields\, enhancing the ability to study br
 ain function and structure with greater precision. Prof. Poser is currentl
 y affiliated with Maastricht University in the Netherlands\, where he cont
 inues to advance MRI technology and its applications in cognitive and clin
 ical neuroscience.\n\n*Title*: Advances in fMRI Data Acquisition Technique
 s\n\n*Abstract*:\nI will first focus on echo-planar imaging readouts which
  have long been the workhorse for fMRI\, but continue on a remarkable traj
 ectory of imaging speed-up and data improvement. Non-Cartesian imaging is 
 now gaining more interest for various functional contrasts\, thanks to the
  flexibility in encoding and echo time choices. I will then also touch on 
 other promising acquisition methods for laminar imaging\, including line s
 can\, FLASH readouts\, as well as contrasts. The last part of the talk is 
 focussed on how parallel RF transmission can add to image quality in 2D an
 d 3D acquisitions and enable region selective excitations.\n\n*Venue*: MRC
