The paper investigates how learned auditory predictability affects depth-resolved functional coupling between hippocampal subfields and cortical regions using 7T fMRI.

This paper introduces a physiologically informed PCA-regularized partial correlation method to estimate direct brainstem functional connectivity in highly collinear fMRI data, improving robustness and interpretability.

This paper develops an fMRI analysis pipeline to study central chemoreception in humans by comparing breath-hold and free breathing conditions, identifying brainstem and diencephalic regions involved in CO2 responses.
