    The study of human brain function requires a delicate balance between experimental control and environmental relevance. This demonstration at the Cooperative Brain Imaging Center explores the dual nature of neural activity: intrinsic oscillations and externally driven responses. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) provides the temporal resolution necessary to resolve these fast-paced cortical...

    We present MaRIa, an MRI-compatible piano that enables naturalistic music performance in both 3T and 7T environments. The system uses a high-speed camera to capture key movements from the back of the keyboard. Image streams are processed in real time to extract keystroke timing and velocity, which drive a sample-based piano sound engine. Auditory feedback is delivered via an optoacoustic...

    In this science hub, we demonstrate how metabolic imaging can detect ketone bodies live in the human brain. Using MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), we scan one of our group members before and after consuming a ketone drink and directly visualize metabolic changes in real time. Visitors will get a quick, intuitive introduction to how this method works. This approach is not only exciting from a...

    Using large language models, which represent language elements in multidimensional semantic space, we can track how speech unfolds over time. For structured narratives, this approach allows us to examine how semantic content evolves from the opening sentence to the climax by dividing the story into schema-based events. We present a computational pipeline that traces the progression of spoken...

    This interactive science hub will let participants experience hands on how they take control over their environment and how misleading assumptions on the goals of other people's actions can be.

    To illustrate how T1 and T2 MRI scanning works, we will be showing scanned images of fruits, veggies, and animals. It's up to you to figure out exactly what each image is. Stop by our table for a fun guessing game and to learn more about how MRI works.
