Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a neuroimaging technique known for its ability to capture brain activity non-invasively and at fine spatial resolution (2-3mm). Cortical surface fMRI (cs-fMRI) is a recent development of fMRI…

We introduce a system that recognizes concurrent activities from real-world data captured by multiple sensors of different types. The recognition is achieved in two steps. First, we extract spatial and temporal features from the multimodal…
Local field potentials (LFPs) sampled with extracellular electrodes are frequently used as a measure of population neuronal activity. However, relating such measurements to underlying neuronal behaviour and connectivity is non-trivial. To…

Hawkes processes are point process models that have been used to capture self-excitatory behavior in social interactions, neural activity, earthquakes and viral epidemics. They can model the occurrence of the times and locations of events.…
Aperiodic neural activity has been the subject of intense research interest lately as it could reflect on the cortical excitation/inhibition ratio, which is suspected to be affected in numerous clinical conditions. This phenomenon is…
We have developed and tested a spatial scan statistic for categorical, functional data (CFSS) - a data structure within which current approaches cannot identify spatial clusters. Our methodology combines an encoding scheme for categorical,…
Spatio-temporal Hawkes point processes are a particularly interesting class of stochastic point processes for modeling self-exciting behavior, in which the occurrence of one event increases the probability of other events occurring. These…
