PhD position available (online application details below)

Title: Computational methods for longitudinal studies of structural brain connectivity

Topic: machine learning / pattern recognition methods for diffusion MRI data analysis

Description: Diffusion MRI provides indirect information of the

anatomical structure of the white matter of the

brain. Neurological diseases and brain disorders may introduce

alterations in such structures. Additionally, after neurosurgery

and cognitive rehabilitation, there may be reorganization of the

white matter. The goal of this project is to design computational

methods to detect and characterize white matter changes over

time, disentangling the intrinsic variability of brain recordings

from actual anatomical changes, in order to support

neuroscientific and clinical inference.
