Description
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool to non-invasively map the structure and function of the brain in living humans. However, its ability to yield novel clinical insights for psychiatric and neurological brain disorders has not yet reached its full potential because of a limited understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving the disorders. Multiple projects are available in developing new mathematically and biophysically grounded techniques for mapping and modelling dysfunction in brain disorders, aiming to bridge anatomical abnormalities to functional deficits and symptom variation. Students will develop skills in whole-brain imaging and computational neuroscience.
