Charge:
• Your task is to develop core ideas/projects for an $8-10M
($1.25-1.5M per year for 5 years) NIH Center proposal.
• Specifically, you should consider the following questions
Magnetic Imaging and Spectroscopy and
Magnetic, Biomagnetic and Bioelectric
Devices
• Group Members
– Mathew White- MRI, fMRI
– Kim Espy - neural
– Sanjay Singh - Epilepsy
– Shadi othman – MRI and MRE
– Hamid Vakilzadian- Modeling
– Lim Nguyen – signal processing, electronics
– Linxia Gu – multiscale multiphysics modeling and vascular
mechanics
– Sina Balkir – integrated circuit design
– Ruqiang Feng – engineering mechanics
– Senem Velipasalar- image and video processing
– Sy-Hwang Liou – nanomagnetism, magnetic sensors
Briefly describe the core projects your group
would design for the Center. Please dream big.
• Analysis of patient’s movement to separate epileptic from
non-epileptic seizures (from videos).
• Prediction and detection of seizures based on analysis of
electrical brain activity by mathematical modelling.
• Investigate nanomagnetic particles to enhance magneto
ecephalography
• Brian Center: center for studying the structural,
mechanical, electrical, and functional properties of the
brain.
Identify the key faculty from from both
campuses to involve in these projects. Include
their strengths. (UNMC on next slide)

Identify external academic partners & expertise
or equipment resources/strengths that are
needed to accomplish these projects.
• We have the MEG, 3T MRI, high field MRI animal
scanner, Video EG monitoring unit, MIMECS,
ABAQUS, shock wave testing facility.
• Industry partner for nanomagnetic enhanced MEG and
pharmaceutical partner
List potential industry/foundation partners
(think broadly) and what they would contribute.
Include reasons why they would be interested.
• NIH, CURE, Epilepsy Foundation of America, MS
foundation, DOD
Describe how you would link the Center to
other campus resources.
• As before
