Gaining Precision: Studying Individuals to Provide New Insights into Human Brain Networks and their Role in Control

4:00 PM to 5:30 PM

East Hall, Room 4464

Held as part of the U-M Functional MRI Laboratory's Speaker Series and featuring Caterina Gratton, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Dept. of Psychology, Florida State University.

Different regions of the brain interact with one another through large-scale networks. These network interactions are important to many complex processes, including goal-directed control. In my lab, we study large-scale network organization in humans and the principles by which it can vary -- and how these variations contribute to control functions and their breakdown. In the presentation, I will review a sampling of recent studies from our lab investigating forms of variation in large-scale networks within and across people. I will then discuss how these variations influence our studies of control.

*Light refreshments will be served.
