Quantifying causal (effective) interactions between different brain regions are very important in neuroscience research. Many conventional methods estimate effective connectivity based on linear models. However, using linear connectivity models may o...
BACKGROUND: Online dictionary learning (ODL) has been applied to extract brain networks from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data in recent year. Moreover, the supervised dictionary learning (SDL) that fixed the task stimulus curves as p...
The superior colliculus (SC) generates saccades by recruiting a population of cells in its topographically organized motor map. Supra-threshold electrical stimulation in the SC produces a normometric saccade with little effect of the stimulation para...
Software implementations of brain-inspired computing underlie many important computational tasks, from image processing to speech recognition, artificial intelligence and deep learning applications. Yet, unlike real neural tissue, traditional computi...
Cervical dystonia (CD) is characterized by abnormal twisting and turning of the head with associated head oscillations. It is the most common form of dystonia, which is a third most common movement disorder. Despite frequent occurrence there is pauci...
The "sensory processing disorder" (SPD) refers to brain's inability to organize sensory input for appropriate use. In this study, we determined the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) microstructural and connectivity correlates of SPD, and apply machine l...
The midbrain superior colliculus (SC) generates a rapid saccadic eye movement to a sensory stimulus by recruiting a population of cells in its topographically organized motor map. Supra-threshold electrical microstimulation in the SC reveals that the...
Spontaneous activity is a common feature of immature neuronal networks throughout the central nervous system and plays an important role in network development and consolidation. In postnatal rodents, spontaneous activity in the spinal cord exhibits ...
The ability to evaluate empirical diffusion MRI acquisitions for quality and to correct the resulting imaging metrics allows for improved inference and increased replicability. Previous work has shown promise for estimation of bias and variance of ge...
