summaryThe purpose of this talk is three-fold. First, I will contextualize the Biomedical Engineering department of Mondragon University, the areas of expertise and the projects we are working on. In the following, I will present ongoing research on brain language lateralization in left- and right-handed bilinguals, using a speech production task designed to assess hemispheric language dominance. Finally, I will address the relevance of performing proper denoising of the BOLD fMRI signal in two applications: breath-hold induced cerebrovascular reactivity in multi-echo fMRI and the use of the fMRI phase signal as a regressor to remove the effect from large vessels and draining veins.
