Project to map the neural pathways that underlie human brain function for several modalities of neuroimaging data including fMRI. The purpose of the Project is to acquire and share data about the structural and functional connectivity of the human brain. It will greatly advance the capabilities for imaging and analyzing brain connections, resulting in improved sensitivity, resolution, and utility, thereby accelerating progress in the emerging field of human connectomics. Altogether, the Human Connectome Project will lead to major advances in the understanding of what makes us uniquely human and will set the stage for future studies of abnormal brain circuits in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. The sixteen institutes and centers of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience have funded two major grants that will take complementary approaches to deciphering the brain's amazingly complex wiring diagram. An 11-institution consortium led by Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Minnesota received a 5-year grant to enable development and utilization of advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods to chart brain circuitry. A consortium led by Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of California at Los Angeles received a grant to enable building and refining a next-generation 3T MR scanner that improves the quality and spatial resolution with which brain connectivity data can be acquired at this field strength.

http://videocast.nih.gov/

VideoCasting of special NIH events, seminars, conferences, meetings and lectures available to viewers on the NIH network and the Internet from the VideoCast web site. VideoCasting is the method of electronically streaming digitally encoded video and audio data from a server to a client. VideoCast is often referred to as streaming video. Streaming files are not downloaded, but rather are broadcast in a manner similar to television broadcasts. The videos are processed by a compression program into a streaming format and delivered in a staggered fashion to minimize impact upon the network and maximize the experience of the content for the viewer. When users request a streaming file they will receive an initial burst of data after a short delay (file latency). While content is being viewed, the streaming server machine and software continues to stream data in such a manner that the viewer experiences no break in the content. CIT can broadcast your seminar, conference or meeting live to a world-wide audience over the Internet as a real-time streaming video. The event can be recorded and made available for viewers to watch at their convenience as an on-demand video or a downloadable podcast. CIT can also broadcast NIH-only or HHS-only content.
