"The story behind the paper" by Dr. WangZheng 

　　Journal club is coming! In this JC, we invite Dr. Wang Zheng here to share his own experience in PHD or post-doctor, with a wonderful topic --"IMAGING THE FUTURE". Below is a brief introduction of the topic from Dr. Wang! 

　　This will be an informal communication which hopefully motivates new students to learn more of a new dimension extended from the infrastructure of ION - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). I will not discuss the MRI per se, but rather walk you through its short history and touch on some recent hot topics in this field regarding to systems/cognitive neurosciences. Meanwhile I would love to share my painful individual experience of how-to mess up with other kinds of primates since I decided to take up a researcher coat for my destiny. Life is always tough and people always dodge. The risk indeed is the distance between the reality and the dream, no loss or win. I will talk about the events/people that enlightened me and helped me to wheel from engineering to neuroscience. I would say, passion is the primary drive to move forward in spite of all the frustrations. Should you have it, you might have the power of imaging the future. 

　　A wonderful topic, an attractive introduction! Do you have a great will to listen to him after reading his own introduction. Maybe many questions have been full of your brain: What's the future of fMRI? What will we do using fMRI in ION? what's his painful individual experience and how did him go through it bravely and successfully? What's his passion in neuroscience? And so on. Yeah, those, who want to know Wang Zheng better, to comprehend the fMRI well, to find out the answers behind those questions or more others, please come to JC. JC will offer you a comfortable environment to communicate with him.
