Dr. Stephanie Noble selected for the NIH BRAIN K99/R00 Award

Dr. Stephanie Noble, a postdoctoral associate in the MRRC mentored by Dr. Dustin Scheinost, has been selected as a recipient of the NIH BRAIN K99/R00 Career Transition Award. During the two phases of this award, Dr. Noble will create a web-based power calculator tailored to typical fMRI studies that only requires the user to specify information readily available to them. fMRI research has transformed our understanding of human brain function and disease, but recent work has exposed an endemic lack of statistical power (i.e., ability to detect effects of interest) and a need for power analysis tools that meet the demands of the typical user. By enabling researchers to more easily and accurately plan studies for desired levels of power, the proposed power calculator will help promote more robust and reproducible findings in the field.
