Characterization of a Novel Task-Based fMRI Functional Brain Network : Auditory Perception

Children's Hospital (Vancouver, B.C.). Research Institute.; BC Mental Health & Addictions Research Institute; University of British Columbia. Department of Psychology

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a method for tracking blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals as they move in different network configurations around the brain. The available network configurations are currently unknown. This oral presentation will display various analyses of fMRI signals during multiple cognitive tasks, curations of anatomical configurations that repeat over tasks, and interpretations of BOLD signal changes between task conditions. The project focuses on the discovery and study of the Auditory (AUD) network involved in linguistic processing. Through two key cognitive tasks, the Thought Generating Task and the Radio Speech Task, the activation of the novel AUD network is measured during times of auditory perception. Data from the functional brain network and its associated hemodynamic responses (HDRs) were analyzed through fMRI Constrained Principal Component Analysis (fMRI-CPCA), two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, and SPSS.
