Understanding the neurobiology of opioid use disorder (OUD) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) may help inform treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes. Recent literature suggests time-frequency…
An inverse procedure is proposed and tested which aims at recovering the a priori unknown functional and structural information from global signals of living brains activity. To this end we consider a Leaky-Integrate and Fire (LIF) model…
The brain may be thought of as a many-body architecture with a spatio-temporal dynamics described by neuronal structures. The oscillatory nature of brain activity allows these structures (nodes) to be described as a set of coupled…
We study the statistical physics of a surprising phenomenon arising in large networks of excitable elements in response to noise: while at low noise, solutions remain in the vicinity of the resting state and large-noise solutions show…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with difficulties with social interactions, communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. To characterize ASD, investigators often use functional…
Network reliability is the probability that a dynamical system composed of discrete elements interacting on a network will be found in a configuration that satisfies a particular property. We introduce a new reliability property, Ising…
Experimental fMRI studies have shown that spontaneous brain activity i.e. in the absence of any external input, exhibit complex spatial and temporal patterns of co-activity between segregated brain regions. These so-called large-scale…
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a notoriously noisy measurement of brain activity because of the large variations between individuals, signals marred by environmental differences during collection, and spatiotemporal…
Although developed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) registration algorithms based on deep learning have achieved a certain degree of alignment of functional area, they underutilized fine structural information. In this paper, we…
Evidence suggests that brain network dynamics is a key determinant of brain function and dysfunction. Here we propose a new framework to assess the dynamics of brain networks based on recurrence analysis. Our framework uses recurrence plots…

Estimators based on influence functions (IFs) have been shown to be effective in many settings, especially when combined with machine learning techniques. By focusing on estimating a specific target of interest (e.g., the average effect of…
A core feature of complex systems is that the interactions between elements in the present causally constrain each-other as the system evolves through time. To fully model all of these interactions (between elements, as well as ensembles of…
Intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs) are specific dynamic functional brain networks that are consistently found under various conditions including rest and task. Studies have shown that some stimuli actually activate intrinsic…
