Aging
-
AMP
AMP looks at the impact of unisensory acuity on how older and younger adults integrate multisensory information from the environment. -
An investigation on the behavioral and neural changes that accompany participation in an 8-week attention training program of older adults (age 65-75).
-
Promise
PROMISE studies how aging affecrts the way the brain combines information from and pays attention to different senses. -
VRAGE
The VRAGE study measures blood flow and brain activity in response to a mental task in healthy adults of various ages. With this information, we will have a better understanding of normal aging, which may some day lead to the prevention of common age related disorders such as dulling of the senses, memory loss, and learning disabilities
Dyslexia
-
Dyslexia
Altered cross-modal auditory-visual interactions are present in left Brodmann Area 37 in dyslexic readers. -
VBM
Transcontinental study of dyslexic and control readers utilizing the technique of voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to correlate brain gray matter anatomy with certain gene markers (genotype) and behavioral findings (phenotype) in a well-studied group of South African Afrikaners.
Caffeine
-
Caffeine Study
An individual's level of caffeine consumption and how long prior to the fMRI scan they had their coffee may interfere with an accurate measurement of the BOLD signal.
Music
-
Mutlisensory Processing in Experienced Conductors
This series of studies explores how these unique individuals allocate limited mental resources between senses when performing difficult auditory tasks.
Software Development
-
BPM
The WFU Biological Parametric Mapping (BPM) Toolboxes have been developed to perform SPM analysis with imaging covariates. -
Power and Sample Size Calculation for Neuroimaging Studies
Development of a software tool to calculate power and sample size specifically designed for neuroimaging studies.Statistical Non-Parametric Mapping (SnPM)
The SnPM toolbox provides an alternative approach for neuroimaging data analyses by randomization / permutation methods.
