Images with abnormal brain anatomy produce problems for automatic segmentation techniques, and as a result poor ROI detection affects both quantitative measurements and visual assessment of perfusion data. This paper presents a new approach…
Early clinical assessment of Alzheimer's disease relies on behavior scores that measure a subject's language, memory, and cognitive skills. On the medical imaging side, functional magnetic resonance imaging has provided invaluable insights…
Matching on a low dimensional vector of scalar covariates consists of constructing groups of individuals in which each individual in a group is within a pre-specified distance from an individual in another group. However, matching in high…
Many data clustering applications must handle objects that cannot be represented as vectors. In this context, the bag-of-vectors representation describes complex objects through discrete distributions, for which the Wasserstein distance…
In neuroscience, the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a vital tool to non-invasively access brain activity. Using fMRI, the functional connectivity (FC) between brain regions can be inferred, which has contributed to a number…
Generative models enhance neuroimaging through data augmentation, quality improvement, and rare condition studies. Despite advances in realistic synthetic MRIs, evaluations focus on texture and perception, lacking sensitivity to crucial…
We propose a method that combines signals from many brain regions observed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to predict the subject's behavior during a scanning session. Such predictions suffer from the huge number of brain…
In brain connectomics, the cortical surface is parcellated into different regions of interest (ROIs) prior to statistical analysis. The brain connectome for each individual can then be represented as a graph, with the nodes corresponding to…

The performance of existing supervised neuron segmentation methods is highly dependent on the number of accurate annotations, especially when applied to large scale electron microscopy (EM) data. By extracting semantic information from…
The characterisation of the brain as a "connectome", in which the connections are represented by correlational values across timeseries and as summary measures derived from graph theory analyses, has been very popular in the last years.…
To study the neurophysiological basis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), clinicians use electroencephalography (EEG) which record neuronal electrical activity on the cortex. Instead of focusing on single-channel spectral…
Neuronal responses to complex stimuli and tasks can encompass a wide range of time scales. Understanding these responses requires measures that characterize how the information on these response patterns are represented across multiple…
Brain mapping analyzes the wavelengths of brain signals and outputs them in a map, which is then analyzed by a radiologist. Introducing Machine Learning (ML) into the brain mapping process reduces the variable of human error in reading such…
