Age-Dependent EEG patterns for Predicting Treatment Response in ADHD

In this project we use EEG patterns to predict treatment responses for individuals with ADHD across different age groups. Project reports are incorporated in the BHS website.

Exploring Emotional Modulation of the P300 in EEG Data

This project explores how deviant auditory tones in a cross-modal oddball paradigm elicit a stronger P300 component using EEG data from the MNE sample dataset. The analysis focuses on ERP comparison and difference waves, setting the stage for future investigations on emotional modulation of P300.

EEG-Based Odor Preference Modeling 🌹🧀️🪷🍃

The human sense of smell plays a crucial role in emotional experience. Previous research has shown that EEG can distinguish between pleasant and unpleasant odors at an individual level (Kroupi et al.,2014), but the consistency of these preferences across individuals remain open questions.

Dynamic Functional Connectivity of the Default Mode Network in ADHD

This project examines dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) within the Default Mode Network (DMN) in children with ADHD using the ADHD-200 dataset. Key methods of analyses include time-varying correlation, clustering of connectivity states, and group comparisons to understand how brain network dynamics differ in ADHD

Multimodal spine multiple sclerosis segmentation

This project presents an open-source pipeline for segmenting multiple sclerosis lesions in the spinal cord using multimodal MRI data. Built for the MS-Multi-Spine Challenge, it combines nnUNet, the Spinal Cord Toolbox, Docker, and Boutiques for reproducibility and ease of use. The pipeline includes preprocessing, inference, and post-processing steps, and is packaged with full documentation and containerization to support future research and clinical applications in spinal cord imaging.

Predicting feedback perception in an online language learning task using EEG and machine learning

In this project, we aim to use machine learning on EEG data from participants’ language learning tasks on Duolingo. Specifically, we ask if EEG features can predict whether the participant has gotten a task right or wrong when they receive feedback. Using a k-nearest neighbours classifier, we achieve 98% accuracy in determining correct or incorrect answers based on EEG voltages from 8 electrodes.

Analyzing variability of working memory and reward processing in children with and without ADHD using fMRI data

The focus of our project was to gain experience using neuroimaging tools to preprocess, analyze, and visualize functional MRI data. We aimed to explore differential variability in brain connectivity among children with and without ADHD. Project reports are incorporated on the BHS website.

Diagnosing Schizophrenia from Brain Activity

Computational Psychiatry is growing trend that applies machine learning methods to psychological disorders. How well can we predict schizophrenia diagnosis from brain activity? This project uses neuroimaging tools from Nilearn, and machine learning tools from scikit-learn to differentiate patients diagnosed with schizophrenia from healthy controls using resting state fmri data.
