Major Research Interests:

Jens Frahm

• Development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): noninvasive studies of structure and function at the system level, animals and humans

• Methodology: non-Cartesian MRI, parallel MRI, numerical reconstruction techniques, real-time MRI, contrast agents (nanoparticles)

• Human neuroscience: functional neuroimaging, neuro-feedback, fiber tractography

• Animal studies: models of human brain disorders, nonhuman primates, genetically modified mice
