Karin Lundengård just did her half-time, and it’s on youtube!
“My research project is on the activity of the human brain. The activity can be measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which measures the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) response. As the name states, it is the oxygen levels being measured, but they are connected to the electrical signaling of the neurons via the neurovascular coupling. There are several hypothesis about the underlying mechanisms of the neurovascular coupling and here we have used mechanistic dynamic models to investigate two of them. So go have a look at the video to see how it went!”
Hopefully the article will be submitted for press before Christmas.
