The course will include lectures, hands-on sessions analyzing fNIRS data, and a strong emphasis on data analysis exercises using the Homer3 software. The […]
Post-Doc Position for Neuroscience in the Everyday World
The BOAS Lab is offering a full time PostDoc position in the area of applied biosignal processing applied to functional neuroimaging in the everyday world at the Boston Universities (BU) Neurophotonics Center. COVID-19 emergency response permitting, it is hoped that this position will start before the end of 2020, but start delays can be accommodated. […]
New NPC Faculty Awards
Congratulations to Laura Lewis for being named on of 15 Searle Scholars in 2020 for her work on Neuromodulation of neural dynamics and perception across sleep and wakefulness. Congratulations to Mike Economo for his receiving a Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Award in Neuroscience.
NPC Faculty Promotions
Congratulations to NPC Faculty Ian Davison from Biology and Michelle Sander from ECE for being promoted to Associate Professor with tenure! Ian Davison, CAS, Biology, is a neurobiologist who examines how perception and behavior arise from intricately interconnected neural circuits, specifically through the sense of smell. His past research has centered on innate social behaviors […]
BU Engineering Dean’s Catalyst Award for Wearable fNIRS and EEG Study of Complex Scene Analysis
Three Neurophotonics Faculty have been awarded the 2020 Dean’s Catalyst Award to initiate a new collaboration that will utilize wearable fNIRS and EEG to investigate complex scene analysis (CSA) in humans. This collaboration is bringing together BU BME Faculty Kamal Sen, Laura Lewis and David Boas. Sen is currently investigating cortical circuits underlying CSA in animal […]

Congratulations to Jianbo Tang for receiving a highly competitive NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award. The title of his project is “Dual-modal ultrasound velocimetry andphotoacoustic oximetry of entire rodent brain for Alzheimer’s Disease study.” During the first phase of this 5 year project, he will be working with Professors David Boas, Anna Devor, Thomas Szabo, and […]
Tim Weber Successfully Defends his PhD
Congratulations to Tim Weber for successfully defending his PhD on “Transillumination Techniques in Ophthalmic Imaging” ! Tim Weber (Mertz lab) is an engineer by training and focuses on developing new microscopes and imaging methods for the life sciences. He received his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics from Columbia University in 2014. He was drawn to Neurophotonics […]
Welcome to the Newly “BU Oriented” NPC Faculty
While Mike Economo, Laura Lewis, and Anna Devor have been around BU and the NPC the last few months, they have just been officially oriented to BU as their first academic year at BU begins. They are already active within the NPC. It is great to have them here at BU!
