This study shows that frequency magnification in human primary auditory cortex better predicts behavioral frequency discrimination than cochlear resolution, with an unexpected over-representation of 1 kHz frequencies.

This study uses 7T fMRI to compare digit maps in FHD patients and healthy volunteers before and after BTX treatment, finding disordered maps in FHD patients and changes in pRF sizes post-treatment.

This study investigates facial sensorimotor representations in Tourette Syndrome using fMRI, finding no group differences but reduced similarity in blink-specific maps and altered sensorimotor activation in TS.

This paper establishes a method to non-invasively study alpha oscillations using simultaneous EEG and layer-fMRI, showing depth-dependent correlations between alpha power and BOLD signals.

This paper compares fast and slow event-related fMRI designs for mapping fingertip tactile tuning in human sensorimotor cortex, finding the fast design more reliable and revealing two somatotopic representations.

This study uses fMRI adaptation to estimate single-neuron frequency tuning in human auditory cortex, finding that multi-adaptor suppression reflects greater neuronal selectivity than single-adaptor suppression.

This study assesses the reproducibility of 7 Tesla fMRI hand digit representation across multiple sites and within sites, finding lower inter-site than intra-site reproducibility but overall feasibility for multi-site studies.

This study evaluates the reproducibility of 7T quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and R2* at multiple sites using a harmonized protocol, finding improved consistency compared to 3T.

The paper investigates how attention divides between modalities and spatial locations, revealing two distinct alpha sources with different functional roles in attention.

This study measures CBF-CBV coupling in different vascular compartments during neural activation and reports coupling constants for total and arterial CBV.

The paper uses intraneural microstimulation combined with MEG to study cortical responses to touch afferents, finding consistent beta rhythm modulation in primary somatosensory cortex.

This paper develops methods for group analysis of high spatial resolution UHF fMRI data from higher-order cognitive tasks, showing quadratic modulation in prefrontal cortex and linear in visual areas.

The paper uses high-field fMRI and geospatial analysis to identify topographically clustered signals for binocular stereo depth in human visual cortex.
