Seminar: Network Properties and Cognitive Functions of the Human Thalamus

BHI/CAHBIR Virtual Seminar: Kai Hwang In a series of studies, we examined how the network properties of the human thalamocortical system support behavior and cognition. We first investigated the spatial organization of thalamic task-evoked responses using fMRI data from human subjects who performed a rich battery of tasks encompassing a broad range of cognitive processes. …

Seminar: Behavioral and neural auditory spatial acuity can be persistently reduced by early temporary hearing loss

BHI/Otolaryngology Faculty Candidate Seminar Children who experience persistent conductive hearing loss (CHL) early in life often display binaural hearing impairments that persist long after CHL is resolved, suggesting abnormal central auditory development. Abnormal sensitivity to interaural level differences (ILDs) is particularly likely as a CHL (such as an ear infection) can attenuate sound in the …

Seminar: Partnering with Communities to Improve the Implementation of High-Quality Early Intervention for Young Children on the Autism Spectrum

888 Easton Avenue, Somerset Conference Room, 888 Easton Avenue, Somerset, New Jersey

BHI-RUCARES Autism Faculty Candidate: Melanie Pellecchia High-quality early intervention services are critical for improving long-term outcomes for children on the autism spectrum. Yet, implementation science research repeatedly demonstrates poor implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP) within community-based early intervention. This research-to-practice gap is especially evident in large under-resourced service systems. Given the established benefit of early …

Deadline: BHI-CAHBIR PIlot Grants for RU-NB faculty

The BHI and CAHBIR are pleased to announce the availability of pilot grants for Rutgers-New Brunswick faculty to facilitate research at the Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research. In addition to scanning on CAHBIRs state-of-the-art Siemens Prisma 3T magnet, researchers can propose studies that utilize CAHBIR’s new transcranial magnetic stimulator and EEG facilities, which …
