The Graham Neuroimaging Lab

The laboratory of Dr. Simon J. Graham conducts a broad range of imaging-related research within the overlapping fields of medical physics, biophysics, and biomedical engineering. Most research involves the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and related technologies for both anatomical and functional brain measurement. In particular, much of our work uses or improves upon the techniques of functional MRI (fMRI) to measure brain activity related to human behaviour.

About Dr. Simon Graham

Screenshot 2022-10-03 160607

Dr. Graham is a medical physicist and biomedical engineer with diverse interests in the development of MRI technology for clinical applications involving the brain. In the past, he has conducted numerous studies aimed at improving the understanding of the biophysical properties of biological tissue that affect MRI signal contrast; improving the method and application of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) of brain activity in healthy individuals as well as patients suffering from stroke, Alzheimer's Disease, mild cognitive impairment, brain cancer, and traumatic brain injury; general development and optimization of MRI methods; and detailed numerical simulations, computational methods, and MRI hardware development towards improved use of MRI and associated medical devices (e.g. deep brain stimulators). He has a lengthy track record of successfully leading collaborative research grants and projects.
