Post-doctoral Fellow Position A post-doctoral fellowship is available in the laboratory of Dorina Papageorgiou, Ph.D., MHSc at Baylor College of Medicine to study cortical plasticity and repair in patient populations, as a result of neurological injury and/or disease. We use real-time fMRI neurofeedback methods to study cortical visual system rehabilitation and speech rehabilitation in patients with neurological injury, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or cancer. We have relied heavily on highly quantitative methods, such as population receptive field, fMRI multivariate and univariate analyses, and have utilized a variety of innovative approaches to address our questions, including support vector machine analyses. Additionally, we have gained insights from highly individualized cortical and subcortical neuro-rehabilitative approaches. The work promises to be challenging, but also presents an exciting opportunity to gain an understanding of the neurofeedback methods involved in various patient populations depending on the domain of brain function lesioned, such as in visual, speech, attention, and pain-associated networks. Trainees will benefit from the Center for Advanced MR Imaging at Baylor College of Medicine, which includes a state-of-the art imaging facility with four research-dedicated 3 Tesla MR scanners. (1 Siemens Allegra (head-only) and 3 Siemens Trio), a high speed private network, a database with web-based access, independent computing facilities, real-time fMRI capabilities.
