DESCRIPTION:Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a brain imagin
 g modality which gives insight into the way the brain works. It is non-inv
 asive\, safe and relatively cheap. However\, because of a lot of noise in 
 the data\, the results from fMRI studies depend heavily on the employed so
 ftware and on the many assumptions made by the user in the analysis pipeli
 nes. Because of several recent validation studies showing low robustness o
 f some of the fMRI methods\, the entire fMRI field came under fire. My wor
 k is on validating the existing methods and possibly improving them. In th
 e talk I will speak about fMRI research\, as well as about validation stud
 ies in neuroimaging and in biomedical research generally. At last\, I will
  present some of my current results related (1) to the modelling of the ex
 perimental design and (2) to the modelling of the blood flows in brain in 
 time.\n\n\nhttps://s3.amazonaws.com/star-wars-intros/AKvCzMOcORodi1-f7h2j.
