We are happy to announce that the first two Ph.D. students have graduated from the
Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing. Dr. Shuyan (Linda) Du successfully defended her thesis entitled
"Machine Learning for Recovering Spectral Signatures of Disease" and Dr. Adam Gerson successfully defended his thesis
"A System for Single-trial Spatiotemporal Analysis of the Electroencephalogram based on Linear Discrimination". We wish both
Linda and Adam the best of luck in their future research.

| Paul Sajda has been awarded a one year Phase 1 grant from DARPA/NGA entitled "Cortically-coupled computer vision". The goal of the project is to interface single-trial real-time neuroimaging with computer vision algorithms to improve object recognition and image search by humans. Columbia co-Investigators include Truman Brown (BME and Radiology) and Robin Goldman (Radiology). Outside collaborators include City College of New York, Oregon Health Sciences University and Siemens Corporate Research. The one year award is for $757,996. |

The National Institutes of Health have awarded a $1.9 M grant to Truman Brown (PI) and Paul Sajda (co-PI) for the project entitled "Metabolic Patterns in 1H NMR Spectra of Biofluids". The goal of this grant is to develop a set of analysis tools, including blind and semi-blind source separation and matrix factorization methods, to recover signatures of metabolic processes in biological fluids. The grant is for a period of 3 years. |

The National Insititute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) has awarded the grant " A Non-invasive Single-trial In-vivo Neuroimaging System" to Prof. Sajda (PI: P. Sajda, Co-Is: T. Brown, D. Friedman, R. Goldman). This is an R21/R33 Phased innovation Award with the objective of developing a new type of functional neuroimaging system based on the simultaneous acquisition of fMRI and EEG for application to the cognitive neurosciences, in particular the assessment of normal and abnormal cognitive aging. The total award is for $1.4M. |
