Essa Yacoub

Essa Yacoub’s work is focused on developing and applying high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) techniques for human applications. His work has emphasized pushing the spatial and temporal resolution limits of fMRI using high magnetic fields. With the ability to non-invasively monitor the working human brain with such high degrees of spatial and temporal precision, his efforts have enabled novel explorations into intrinsic functional architectures and neuronal inter-connections.
