Week of May 15-19

The week started off with a very nice weather. The 15th of May was what is known as the "Teachers' day" in Korea. Cakes and flowers were seen here and there on campus on the occasion.
The lab has been following up on two things this week. First, collecting & comparing 7T images from other research sites (Univ. Iowa and Medical College of Wisconsin), and second, setting up QSM protocols for more patient studies from SMC.
Summer internship applications are now being reviewed. We have a total of 40 applicants. Many of them are interested in psychology and biological research. Very few of them showed interest in engineering aspects of MRI, which is a bit disappointing. The IBS center appears to appeal to the students more for its neuroscience studies than MR technology.

On Thursday, Dr. Bruce Pike from University of Calgary visited the Center to give a very nice, informative and understandable special seminar on quantitative fMRI and clinical applications.
