Ciao! I'm Maria Guidi, a postdoc in Federico Giove's lab (MARBILab, Enrico Fermi Research Center, Rome) investigating brain physiology with fMRI. I've a background in physics and pursued my PhD under the supervision of Harald Moeller (NMR Unit, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig). Separating the neuronal from the vascular component in the BOLD response is probably my main interest and the techniques I like are...

  • VASO
  • ASL
  • calibrated BOLD
  • respiratory challenges for CVR mapping
    • Previously applied at 7T, now translating to 3T.
