Abstract:

With adequate mathematical and computational methods brain networks can be reconstructed from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) opening the gates for meaningful statistical studies about several brain deseases (e.g. stroke, tumor, alzheimer, ...) In this project we will focus on finding structural similarities between brain networks suffering from stroke and tumors. Possible approaches include network statistics, statistical connectomics and topological data analysis. Next steps would include inferences on common cognitive impairments between the groups.
