Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is less than two decades old but has had a profound influence on the study of the brain and its diseases. This technology has in turn generated aÌýfast growingÌýdemand for advanced statistical signal processing tools and thrown up novel problems in signal processing, distributed state estimation and multimodal imaging. This research is carried on mostly with colleagues at Harvard Medical School in the USA but also with colleagues in UNSW’s Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute (POWMRI).Ìý

In the last decade and aÌýhalf new micro measurement technologiesÌýinvolving multi-unit electrode recordings from the brains of awake animals such as monkeys and rats are allowing scientists to pursue fundamental studies of brain function. A potential engineering application is the development of true neural prosthetics. But the resultant need to analyse large volumes of data are generating new kinds of statistical signal processing and control problems that require new analysis tools. This research is carried on mostly with colleagues in the USA but also with colleagues at the University of Western Australia Medical School.Ìý
