(Sept. 11, 2017)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research Theme:\u3000Development of functional MRI<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been officially announced that Seiji Ogawa has been awarded the 2017 Keio Medical Science Prize for his work on the development of a technique for detecting Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) signals in the brain. His technique depends on blood oxygenation levels, which he named BOLD (for Blood Oxygen Level Dependent), and he showed that BOLD signals can be used for functional mapping of the human brain following sensory stimulation. This work established the basic principles underlying functional MRI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seiji Ogawa has been Special Advisor to CiNet since it was founded, making great contributions to our research to develop brain imaging methods and functional analysis using MRI. When BOLD was first developed 20 years ago, it was often used for functional mapping, but in the recent years, together with advanced machine learning and computer technologies, the application has been extended to decoding of brain activity and diagnostic analysis of neuropsychiatric disease by network analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SeijiOgawa_20140401.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The outcomes of many CiNet researchers have benefitted from BOLD:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/people\/20141086\/\">Shinji Nishimoto<\/a>\u00a0working on decoding of perceptual contents,\u00a0Ben Seymour\u00a0discovering pain networks,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/people\/2014480\/\">Tetsuya Shimokawa<\/a>\u00a0analyzing neural networks of schizophrenic patient, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/people\/2014279\/\">Masahiko Haruno\u00a0<\/a>identifying the relationship between activity patterns in the amygdala and depression tendency.
