• WHAT IS DECI

    DECI captures and displays the three-dimensional electrical activity of the brain in real-time using conventional off-the-shelf electroencephalographic (EEG) equipment.

  • REAL-TIME OUTPUT

    We make brain movies in real time and so the person under study can see his own brain thinking in real time.

  • HOW DOES DECI WORK

    DECI goes beyond other imagining systems by visualizing the very rapidly changing electrical fields within the brain as brain movies. DECI is non-invasive and those having their brain scanned merely wear a soft electrode head-cap.

  • WHY IS DECI UNIQUE

    Like other non-invasive neuroimaging modalities such as fMRI, creates both 2-D and 3-D still images of the brain. However, DECI goes beyond other imagining systems by visualizing the very rapidly changing electrical fields within the brain as brain movies. DECI is non-invasive and those having their brain scanned merely wear a soft electrode head-cap.

The Fields Mitacs Undergrad Summer Program

Between July 3rd to August 24th 2012, The Fields Institute in collaboration with Mitacs hosted an Undergraduate Summer Reseach Program. To allow 30+ students to take part in research projects supervised by leading scientists.

Five students; Bilal Abbasi, Carrie Bragnalo, Feng Chi, Jiho Han, Iryna Sivak, was supervised by Dr.Nicholas Hoell and Dr.Adrian Nachman to tackle “EEG Inverse Problem”, and its application to medical imaging. The summary of their findings can be seen in the power point presentation below, as well as their presentation during their mini-conference talk on August 22nd 2012.

We worked very closely with the students to try and improve our existing source localization algorithm in order for our software, DECI, to be more accurate. The group specifically looked at improving source localization using Adjoint Method and using Bayesian approach and eLoreta.
