MIT Alumni Forum | Functional Imaging of the Human Brain: A Window into the Architecture of the Mind

The last 20 years of brain imaging research has revealed the functional organization of the human brain in glorious detail. According to MIT professor Nancy Kanwisher, this work has helped create a rough sketch of the organization of the human mind—and unveiled a vast landscape of unanswered questions.

In this MIT Alumni Forum, Kanwisher will explore why the brain is organized the way it is and share recent breakthroughs that have appeared from brain imaging labs around the world.

Join us at the next MIT Alumni Forum on February 8, The Human Microbiome: Health Science’s New Frontier, to hear how MIT is pioneering microbiome research and discovery from the Center for Microbiome Informatics and Therapeutics (CMIT) codirector and MIT professor Eric Alm and CMIT founder Neil Rasmussen ’76, SM ’79.
