PRESENTATION:
The ‘Era of Big Data’ and decades of functional MRI (fMRI) research have ignited a series of transformative breakthroughs that have reshaped the fundamental understanding of the brain’s functional neuroanatomy — unveiling intricate cortical systems previously unknown. Damien A. Fair of the University of Minnesota will highlight how these revelations led to a new understanding of developmental processes and mental health disorders and how they provide personalized therapeutic targets for several neuromodulation strategies.
