  1. Annual Meeting of the FIU NSF CREST Center External Advisory Board Malek Adjouadi Subproject 2: Integrated Approach to Information Processing in Neuroscience April 4th 2012

  2. MISSION: Elicit functional mappings of the brain and the causality of key brain disorders.MAINOBJECTIVE: Develop imaging methods that integrate recording modalities in time and space, so that clinicians and surgeons become more confident at prescribing a course of action.STRATEGY: Markers for the dysfunction are consistent across different recording modalities.

  3. 3D Epileptic Seizure Focus Localization Using an integrated Multimodal Neuro-Imaging System (EEG-fMRI) Bridging recording modalities to computers for data analysis

  4. New Infrastructure Developments Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator

  5. Optical Imaging

  6. Optical Imaging-Recording caps

  7. Distributed System Setup-Housed within EIC Facility- Multisite repository for pediatric epilepsy- Computational purposes

  8. 3D Visualization System

  9. Still Images of the 3D system

  10. Outcomes of the past Year Research Outcomes • Made advances in (a) 3-D source localization of brain dysfunctions now put to clinical practice, organ segmentation (brain, liver), accurate volume calculations for in-context measurements and dosing, which are already benefiting patients and their families in South Florida. • Established the Mark Edwards Assistant Professorship in Neuroscience and Learning--Electrical and Computer Engineering –Tenure Track Position: Dr. Mercedes Cabrerizo. • Obtained a $2.9 M grant from the National Science Foundation -- Development of an Instrument for Information Science and Computing in Neuroscience. • Established the transcranial-Magnetic Stimulator Laboratory • Updated the Optimal Imaging Laboratory • Continue to consolidate our relationship with Baptist Hospital on Adult Epilepsy
