DESCRIPTION:Prof. Robert Barry\nBio:\nRob was born and raised in Winnipeg 
 (aka – “Winterpeg”)\, Canada. While completing his Master’s in Com
 puter Engineering at the University of Manitoba\, he saw an ad in the loca
 l newspaper looking for volunteers for a functional magnetic resonance ima
 ging (fMRI) study. Rob was fascinated that a machine could take pictures o
 f the human brain and infer what a participant was thinking\, so he agreed
  to have his brain scanned. It was an amazing experience for Rob\, and he 
 participated in several additional studies. He was hooked!\nAlthough Rob
 ’s early studies involved telecommunications engineering\, he switched f
 ields to pursue research in next-generation fMRI technology. In 2004\, Rob
  moved to London\, Ontario to begin a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at t
 he Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping\, Robarts Research Institut
 e\, Western University. (Moving to London turned out to be an excellent ch
 oice because that is also where Rob met his future wife\, Laura.)\nIn 2008
 \, Rob completed his Ph.D. and moved to Nashville\, Tennessee to pursue a 
 postdoctoral fellowship at the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging 
 Science. He relocated to Boston in 2016 to start the Brain & Spinal Cord L
 aboratory. Rob is an Assistant Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical S
 chool and affiliated faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
  Rob’s lab is located at the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Martinos
  Center for Biomedical Imaging.
