Holdridge, Vice President for Government Services Patricia Foland, Vice President for International Operations Grant Lewison, Advance Contractor Hasan Ali, Advance Contractor Haydon Rochester, Jr., Report Editor ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We at WTEC wish to thank all the panelists for their valuable insights and their dedicated work in conducting this global assessment of neuroimaging, and to thank all the site visit hosts for so generously sharing their time, expertise, and facilities with us. For their sponsorship of this important study, our sincere thanks go to the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research and to the National Institute of Mental Health for providing the expert services of Dr. Peter Bandettini as an in-kind support of the study. R. D. Shelton President, WTEC WTEC Mission WTEC provides assessments of international research and development in selected technologies under awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Formerly part of Loyola University Maryland, WTEC is now a separate nonprofit research institute. The NSF Deputy Assistant Director for Engineering is Program Director for WTEC. Potemtial sponsors interested in international technology assessments or related studies can provide support through NSF or directly through separate grants or GSA task orders to WTEC. WTEC’s mission is to inform U.S. scientists, engineers, and policymakers of global trends in science and technology. WTEC assessments cover basic research, advanced development, and applications. Panels of typically six technical experts conduct WTEC assessments. Panelists are leading authorities in their field, technically active, and knowledgeable about U.S. and foreign research programs. As part of the assessment process, panels visit and carry out extensive discussions with foreign scientists and engineers in their labs. The WTEC staff helps select topics, recruits expert panelists, arranges study visits to foreign laboratories, organizes workshop presentations, and edits and publishes the final reports. Dr. R. D. Shelton, President, is the WTEC point of contact: telephone 717 299-7130 or email [email protected]. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures .......................................................................................................................................... v List of Tables .......................................................................................................................................... vii Preface ..................................................................................................................................................... ix Executive Summary ................................................................................................................................ xi 1.
