Clinical fMRI consulting
Dr. Benjamin provides consulting to hospitals and medical centers seeking to develop, refine, or evaluate clinical language fMRI programs. He has extensive experience in clinical fMRI and is a co-author of the recent Organization for Human Brain Mapping consensus guidelines on clinical language fMRI. He has advised multiple institutions on establishing language fMRI services, including Northwell Health (New York, USA) and St Luke’s (Thessaloniki, Greece).
Areas of consulting
- Program design — selecting cognitive paradigms, MR acquisition parameters, and analysis workflows appropriate to your patient population and institutional context
- Program establishment — supporting new programs from initial planning through first clinical cases, including staff roles, reporting, and billing workflows
- Refinement — reviewing and improving existing programs: task selection, analysis pipelines, quality assurance, and reporting standards
- Auditing — independent review of an existing program against current clinical guidelines and evidence-based standards
Engagement options
Consulting is available on a one-off basis — a single review, report, or planning session — or as an ongoing arrangement across a program’s development. Most work is conducted remotely, but site visits are available where helpful, for example during initial setup, staff training, or hands-on protocol review.
