Intrinsic Connectivity of Task-Defined Language Regions
This project examines how language-related brain regions connect with DMN, FPN, and SN during rest, using fMRI data to explore links between functional connectivity and language comprehension.
Modulation of functional connectivity in Parkinson’s disease with neuropsychiatric symptoms
This project aims to investigate the functional connectivity patterns in individuals with Parkinson’s disease and neuropsychiatric symptoms (PD+NPS) compared to those without the NPS. The study utilizes resting-state fMRI data to analyze the connectivity matrix and identify alterations in functional brain networks associated with PD+NPS. The project also involves familiarizing with data science packages, interpreting neuroimaging data, and advanced visualization techniques. The findings may contribute to understanding the neural mechanisms underlying PD+NPS and inform future research and interventions. The project involves BIDS validation, fMRI preprocessing, functional connectivity analysis, group comparisons, and prediction modeling for mild cognitive impairment.
