Sleep detection using fMRI data

This project utilizes fMRI data and machine learning to predict sleep states, aiming to enhance understanding of sleep patterns and disorders. By analyzing brain activity during different sleep stages, it seeks to improve diagnostics and develop personalized treatments for sleep disorders. The primary goal is to determine whether a participant is asleep or awake using resting-state fMRI data.

Brain Decoding Using Connectivity Informed Models

Brain Decoding is the reconstruction of the sensory and other stimuli form the information that has already been encoded and represented in the brain. For example, image genration, and task classification, from brain activity signals could be covered under this topic. In this project, a graph neural netwrok appriach is used to learn the representation of the brain regions activities, and do image classification for the end-user (patient).

Do you feel the words? An fMRI analysis on tactile vs non-tactile words in Mandarin Chinese

Language consists of many thousands of words which differ in meaning and syntactic category. Some words may refer to reletevely touchable, hence concrete aspects of the world while others are abstract in meaning which do not have physical references. But which brain areas are associated with tactile word processing? This project aims to investigate brain activation of participants when listening to tactile vs non-tactile word stimuli. The preliminary result shows that large areas of parietal lobe is particularly activated to tactile words compared to non-tactile words

Multimodal Investigation of Neural Correlates of Athletic Performance

This project investigates the neural correlates of athletic performance using fMRI, dMRI, and FSLVBM to compare grey matter volume and white matter connectivity between athletes and non-athletes. The study aims to identify brain regions associated with athletic performance, explore white matter connectivity differences, and examine the relationship between brain structure and specific athletic skills. The dataset included nine Indiana University football players and nine controls.

Schizophrenia prediction: use of Neuroimages and Artificial Intelligence Models

Schizophrenia (SZ) involves significant alterations in perception, thoughts, mood, and behavior. This project aims to develop an AI model using machine learning for complementary SZ diagnosis, utilizing prefrontal cortex connectomics and tractography techniques. It focuses on creating scripts for data separation, comparing classification models, and analyzing the connectome of healthy individuals and those with SZ. Early detection and accurate diagnosis through machine learning will enable targeted interventions, improving outcomes for individuals with SZ.

Using a machine learning model trained on functional connectivity patterns to predict ADHD

This project uses functional magnetic resonance imaging data to study the connectivity of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).A set of children diagnosed with ADHD were given a series of memory tasks while undergoing MRI scans. In this project, data from one of these tasks was used to calculate connectivity matrices for 65 subjects from that data set and a machine learning model was trained. The data was downloaded from Openneuro website.
