This led neuroscience PhD student Emily Finn and her colleagues at the Yale University School of Medicine to conduct a whole - brain functional
connectivity analysis of dyslexia using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
«The
effective connectivity analysis used in this study revealed how the neural mechanisms of working memory differ after brain injury,» said Dr. Wylie, associate director of the Rocco Ortenzio Neuroimaging Center at Kessler Foundation.
Sliding window analysis (Bivariate Pearson correlation and Granger causality) and time varying parameter regression method (Flexible Least Squares) are two dynamic analysis strategies for time -
variant connectivity analysis in the DynamicBC.
Task - related activation and
connectivity analysis was performed using SPM8 and context - dependent psychophysical interactions (PPI).
I will also discuss open problems in brain
connectivity analysis that may be amenable to solution via graph - theoretical methods.
