Summary on Grant Application Form
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging [fMRI] provides observations of the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent [BOLD] signal. fMRI does not measure neural activity directly and hence a core problem is how to interpret the BOLD signal to make inferences about the neural activity and interactions. The main objective of this research proposal is to apply nonlinear signal processing and system identification methods to identify nonlinear mesh models associated with the core mechanisms between activation and flow from data collected across a wide range of stimulus conditions. This is a highly complex and multi-disciplinary project involving neuroscientists, psychologists, and control and systems engineers.
