DESCRIPTION:*Speaker:* Wietske van der Zwaag (Spinoza Centre for Neuroimag
 ing\, Amsterdam)\n\n*Bio:* Dr Wietske van der Zwaag received her PhD in Ph
 ysics and Astronomy from the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdo
 m\, in 2006\, working with one of the first European 7T scanners. She subs
 equently worked at the Centre d’Imagerie Biomédicale (CIBM) at the Ecol
 e Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) from 2007 to 2015. Van der Z
 waag joined the Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging in 2015\, shortly after it
 s opening. In 2019\, she formed her own group there\, working at the bound
 ary between MR development and neurosciences. The group's research is cent
 red on best harnessing the strong points of 7T in neuroimaging with a spec
 ial interest in functional MRI of finely organized brain structures\, such
  as the human cerebellum.\n\n*Title:* Studies with Single Subjects or Larg
 e Numbers of Volunteers - Why\, & How?\n\n*Abstract:* In the functional MR
 I field\, datasets continue to grow. Interestingly\, there are two differe
 nt trends: There are currently multiple efforts towards collection of data
 sets with a huge number of participants\, to capture the variance in a pop
 ulation\, or to use the power of massive averaging to discover subtle brai
 n function patterns. A second trend is towards exhaustive sampling of a si
 ngle participant (or a few)\, arguing that measurements of one brain likel
 y generalize to most other brains. Dense sampling allows experiments with 
 either many conditions or extremely detailed images\, exploring different 
 types of variance. This talk will discuss both trends.\n\n*Venue:* MRC CBU
