Capturing patterns of cortical hierarchy and dual stream architecture based on precise 7T MRI

This project aims to explore the mysteries of the human brain’s microstructure and functions by using advanced imaging technology and computational models. The researchers will collaborate between different institutions, bringing together expertise in computational neuroscience and neuroimaging from McGill university with the renowned knowledge in cognitive and brain sciences at the Max Planck Institute. The project’s success will deepen our understanding of how the brain works, providing new insights into cognitive processes. This collaboration will not only benefit the participating institutions by expanding their research capabilities but will also contribute to the broader scientific community’s knowledge of the human brain. This knowledge has far-reaching implications for the field of neuroscience, as it can shed light on how neurological disorders, including those characterized by altered brain structure and function, manifest and progress.
