Research Abstract |
My research focuses on understanding the relation between structures and functions of the human brain. I am developing and applying new signal and image processing algorithms to the data analysis of neurofunctional methods (anatomical and functional MRI, emission tomography, event-related fields and potentials). The technologies that we have previously designed include: (1) New methods for neurofunctional data analysis, (2) Segmentation of pathological structures in brain datasets, (3) Biomechanical and electromagnetical finite element models of the head, (4) Combining event-related potentials and functional MRI. My current work involves the quantification of neuroanatomical structures and the detection of neurofunctional areas from high-resolution anatomical MRI datasets. |
