| Thomas T. Liu, Ph.D. is an
electrical engineer working in the field of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). His areas of research
include: (1) Design and analysis of experiments for
functional MRI (fMRI), with an emphasis on
statistical optimization, nonlinear signal
processing, and physiological noise reduction; (2)
Characterization and modeling of the hemodynamic
response to neural activity, including the effects
of drugs such as caffeine; (3) The development of
novel imaging methods to measure cerebral blood
flow and volume; and (4) Characterization of
cerebral blood flow in Alzheimer’s disease and
glaucoma. |
