The Magnetic Resonance Biophysics Group operates within the MRI Technology Laboratory, pursuing an integrated research program that combines innovative neurorehabilitation development with fundamental investigations into brain plasticity. The group specializes in macromolecular proton fraction mapping of brain tissue along with advanced diffusion imaging techniques including diffusion tensor and diffusion kurtosis tomography.
A key research direction involves creating novel computer interfaces based on biofeedback principles. These systems enable patients to cultivate brain self-regulation skills while promoting functional recovery in various neurological and psychiatric conditions. The group's work bridges cutting-edge neuroimaging research with practical clinical applications, developing technologies that help restore compromised neural functions through targeted training protocols.
By merging sophisticated MRI techniques with therapeutic interface development, the group advances both our understanding of brain reorganization mechanisms and their potential applications for treating brain disorders. Their approach exemplifies the translation of basic neuroscience discoveries into clinically relevant solutions for improving patient outcomes.
