Since its discovery by physicists in the early 1990s, functional MRI (fMRI), based on the Blood Oxygenation Level-Dependent or “BOLD” signal, has revolutionized our ability to non-invasively map the functional organization of the brain at high spatial and temporal resolution. The BOLD signal, however, can be challenging to interpret because it is an indirect measure of brain activity that...

Hyperspectral time-resolved (hTR) near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an advanced analytical technique that provides high-resolution spectral measurements across hundreds of wavelengths, offering improved depth sensitivity compared to conventional continuous-wave (CW) systems. In clinical settings, this technique could enable real-time identification of adverse changes in cerebral blood...

Precise intracranial cell delivery is essential for establishing reproducible glioma models, yet conventional manual stereotaxis lacks operational stability and real-time imaging guidance within the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment. This project aims to implement a precise modeling workflow using a dedicated MRI-compatible robotic injection system under 1.5T MRI guidance. The...

Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) has become a crucial modality in modern histopathology, enabling the digital conversion of tissue on glass slides into high-resolution virtual slides. WSI supports the reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) volumes from serial histological sections, providing new opportunities to study the microstructural organization of complex tissues. However, 3D reconstruction...

New developments in neuroscience have driven rapid advancements in implantable devices at the brain-machine interface for both research and clinical applications. One such device is the Neuropixels probe, used currently in research and pre-clinical testing, which collects high-density, time-resolved neural impedance recordings across multiple brain regions. However, these implants are limited...

annihilation of a positron. It doesn’t give information on anatomical features. When an
external hardware is used, such as a coil in a PET/MRI system, attenuation will impact the
resulting image. A classical solution in the...
