Bio/Research
Berman's research involves the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques that image brain activity and microvascular physiology with increasing spatial resolution and increased physiological sensitivity and specificity.
Functional MRI is non-invasive and does not use ionizing radiation, which has made it the most widely used imaging modality for the non-invasive study of the organization of the human brain. The MRI signal contains rich information related to the underlying brain physiology. He develops acquisition and analysis strategies to extract this physiological information to improve our interpretation of functional MRI signals and to provide quantitative biomarkers for studying mental health and neurological disorders.
