Research Description
From fMRI time series data, we attempt to recover brain network function (and therefore understand dysfunction). We do this using a combination of computational and mathematical techniques for time series modeling. In addition to study healthy brain function, we study a multiplicity of conditions including schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder and mood disorders. Our work is represented in an array of publications (several led by medical students) including Kody & Diwadkar (J Psychiatr Res, 2022), Meram et al. (Network Neurosci, 2023), Hasan et al. (Schizophr Res, 2023) and Diwadkar & Eickhoff (Springer Nature Publishing, 2021).
