Imaging Retreat Sriram Vasudevan Biomedical Engineering Wayne State University
Background • Bachelors in Electrical and Electronics Areas of study included Imaging ,Instrumentation,Electronic devices and circiuts • Currently doing my Master’s in Biomedical Engineering Interests are in areas of biomedical imaging and Image processing. • Projects Involved 1.Neural Correlates Of Violent Lyrics 2.Neural Bases Of Change Blindness
Purpose of projects Purpose • The research is being performed to determine the areas of the brain that are turned on when humans listen to music with violent lyrics. • This research will contribute to the general knowledge of the psychological effects that correlate to listening music with violent lyrics. Methods • In the first scan participants will hear to background music with violent lyrics edited out . • The second will involve music with violent lyrics. In control times participants will hear silence. • Fmri will be taken to determine neural substrates involved in aggression.
Purpose of projects • Change Blindness is failure to notice large changes in visual environment that should be normally noticed easily • It may result from failures to rapidly integrate information in perceptual ,attentional and executive circuits in the brain. Change may be detected from the fast correlated activity in these circuits. • Purpose of the project is to gain knowledge of manner in which brain responds to change blindness and the neural bases involved in it.
