Dr.
Bandettini is Chief of the Section on Functional Imaging
Methods in the Laboratory
of Brain and Cognition of the Intramural Research
Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National
Institutes of Health. He is also the director of the Functional
MRI Core Facility, which provides functional MRI scanning service to NIMH, NINDS and several other institutes at the NIMH. He received his B.S. in Physics from Marquette University in 1989 and his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 1994, where he pioneered the development of Functional MRI (fMRI). During his post doc at the Massachusetts General Hospital, he continued his work on cutting edge fMRI methods development. In 1999, he joined NIMH as a tenure track investigator and a core facility director. In 2002, he received the Wiley Young Investigator Award. In 2001 and 2007 he received the NIMH Director�s Merit Award for his work in creating and maintaining the FMRIF. In 2006, he was president of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping. He is associate editor of the journals Human Brain Mapping and NeuroImage. He has published over 64 peer-reviewed papers, 17 book chapters, 1 book, has 1 patent and has presented over 215 invited lectures. |
| Research Interests |
| The overall goals of the Section on Functional Imaging Methods are aimed at increasing the utility of Functional MRI. This work primarily involves understanding the neuronal, physiologic, and biophysical processes that contribute to fMRI contrast as well as the across-voxel, brain region, subject, population, time, and physiologic state variability of fMRI contrast. Our practical goal of this research is to increase the temporal resolution, spatial resolution, and interpretability of fMRI through understanding the "neuronal-hemodynamic transfer function" more fully. We work in the realms of human neurophysiology, fMRI technology and hardware, and fMRI processing and paradigm methods. We work as much as possible with those interested in applying novel fMRI methods to clinical and non-clinical questions. |
