Dr. Liu is a Professor of Radiology and the Director of the UCSD Center for Functional MRI (fMRI). His areas of research include: Investigation of resting-state brain connectivity with multi-modal imaging approaches (fMRI, MEG, and EEG) Characterization and modeling of the hemodynamic response to neural activity, including the effects of drugs such as caffeine Development and optimization of arterial spin labeling MRI methods for the non-invasive measurement of cerebral blood flow Design and analysis of experiments for functional MRI (fMRI), with an emphasis on statistical optimization, nonlinear signal processing, and physiological noise reduction Development of quantitative fMRI methods for the study of Alzheimer’s disease and associated disorders.Dr. Liu is a Professor of Radiology and the Director of the UCSD Center for Functional MRI (fMRI).
