Talk recording
The brain interdependencies can be studied from either a structural perspective ("structural connectivity") or by considering statistical interdependencies ("functional connectivity" (FC)). Notably, while structural connectivity is inherently pairwise (involving white-matter fibers projecting from one region to another), FC is not limited to pairwise interactions. Despite this, many FC analyses predominantly concentrate on pairwise statistics and often neglect higher-order interactions. In this study, we show the extent of high-order interactions in fMRI data, exploring two applications: healthy aging and transcranial ultrasound stimulation.
About the speaker
Marilyn is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University London. She has explored a wide range of scientific questions, including healthy aging, frontotemporal dementia, and the effects of transcranial ultrasound stimulation, a novelty non-invasive neuromodulation technique. Her research has integrated data analysis with multivariate information theory, statistics, machine learning, and whole-brain modeling.
