Are you ready to see the world in a whole new way? Join us for an exciting episode of Neurocareers, where we explore the cutting-edge world of high-resolution functional MRI (fMRI) and human visual processing with the brilliant Dr. Shahin Nasr! In this episode, we dive deep into the science of high-resolution fMRI, exploring how it's helping us to better understand how the human brain processes and perceives visual information. With Dr. Nasr's expert guidance, we'll explore the latest cutting-edge research in visual perception and career development in this exciting field. Dr. Nasr used an ultra-high-field (7 Tesla) scanner at the Martinos Center for his groundbreaking studies. This allowed him and his colleagues to discover small, non-overlapping sites in the human visual cortex that encode motion and depth perception (stereopsis). These sites are selectively connected, forming two channels within the visual system. This groundbreaking finding challenges our current understanding of how fundamental visual features are encoded within the brain, and opens the door for future studies on the link between perceptual impairments and dysfunctions in these channels. Whether you're a scientist, student, or simply curious about how your brain works, this episode is not to be missed!
