CRIC Bristol

Clinical Research and Imaging Centre - Bristol

The 2012 ISMRM conference is being led by the School of Experimental Psychology in partnership with CRIC Bristol, a new state-of-the-art imaging centre for research in normal and clinical populations. Please see below for details on some of the research currently underway at CRIC:

• Mismatch negativity in fMRI BOLD - Hedge, C., Magee, K., Rojas-Frias, P., Stothart, G., & Todd Jones, J.
  An fMRI study investigating preattentive attentional switching mechanisms and change detection in healthy younger adults, paired with ERP data.
• Material-specific episodic memory - Pleydell-Pierce, K., & Rojas-Frias, P.
  Examining the variables that are involved in the differential activation of right and left hippocampi when non-verbal and verbal episodic memories are formed and retrieved.
• Effects of plain cigarette packaging on neural responses to health warnings - Leonards, U., Maynard, O., & Munafo, M.
  Combining brain imaging and eye movement recording to investigate patterns of brain activation when viewing health warnings on branded and plain packages of cigarettes.
