Project Topic (04/01/2016 - 07/31/2016)

I will work in the domain of analysis of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), with the objective of identifying the main network underlying architecture, when applied on healthy controls. I will notably on a new methods aiming at detecting automatically hubs within those networks (method developed by a PhD student, Kangjoo Lee). The purpose of the internship will be to implement and assess methods to automatically detect and remove from this hub analysis, possible spurious networks that are physiological artefacts, caused by motion or fluctuations due to cardiac and respiratory rhythms.
