🚨 @UofIllinois has announced a strategic cluster hiring initiative in ultra high field (7T) MRI mricluster7t.web.illinois.ed…! Six positions in total; ad is out for 2 positions in bioengineering. Come be my colleague and partner @BeckmanIllinois in Champaign-Urbana! 🧲🧠
New layer-fMRI paper on whole brain connectivity.
@mripku (Yuhui Chai) et al. use non-BOLD VAPER with resting-state and movie watching to examine the laminar patters across a number of common functional connectivity networks.

Beckman, @Carle_org, and Purdue University researchers received funding from @NIHAging to study the brain's role in swallowing. 🧠
They'll use SimulScan, an MRI-based imaging tool, to see the brain activity that drives healthy and disordered swallowing▶️bit.ly/3o9afY4

Yesterday, the 50th anniversary of MRI, was a great start to the ACNN workshop program at the Beckman Institute, Illinois! Here are the inspiring talks by Kamil Ugurbil and Charlie Springer beckman.illinois.edu/about/v…
The first two human magnetic resonance imaging scanners, invented Sept. 2, 1971, by late Illinois faculty member Paul Lauterbur, are on display in the Illinois MRI Exhibit Open to the Public. bit.ly/3yuuZIA @BeckmanInst
🤝👷♀️F&S is essential to U of I successes
See how we helped with this exhibit about the history of the MRI. 🗓Visit this week!

Thursday, September 2nd is the 50th anniversary of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here is what @BeckmanInst is doing to celebrate 50 years this revolutionary machine: ow.ly/WFaA50G11wK
🔶Innovate like it's 1971.🔶
Magnetic resonance imaging was invented on Sept. 2, 1971, and #ILLINOIS was involved from the start. Celebrate by visiting the new Illinois MRI Exhibit at Beckman Institute. #tbt#PowerofI

Today human magnetic resonance imaging scanners, or MRI, turns 50!
The device that changed medicine was invented by #ILLINOIS professor Paul Lauterbur. His two original MRI scanners are now on display at @BeckmanInst 🔸 bit.ly/MRI_50

Today, contractors installed a Bruker 9.4 Tesla preclinical animal MRI system at Beckman. Eighteen University of Illinois units funded the purchase, as did generous support from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust.
