We are studying the basis of high level visual object recognition, namely face processing, using ultra high field functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study face processing areas of the cerebral cortex with unprecidented resolution. The interested student will gain experience with the collection of high resolution fMRI data, learn to use of standard toolkits and custom MATLAB code to analyze imaging data, and have the opportunity to work with vision scientists and MRI physicists at the world renowned University of Minnesota Center for Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
