Research summary
We develop innovative computational analytical methodologies for studying brain health and neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s. The lab employs AI and multimodal neuroimaging — including PET, MRI/fMRI, and EEG — as well as behavioral, clinical and genetic approaches for designing predictive models, identifying disease heterogeneity dimensions and facilitating precision medicine
Key words
Neuroimaging, neurophysics, neuroinformatics, computational neuroscience, clinical research, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, big data, neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders, neuroimaging-genetics, neuroimaging-behavior
