The impact of emotional distraction on cognition: from basic brain responses to large-scale network interactions
… frontal regions associated with the default-mode network (DMN). Finally, these DMN regions showed increased functional connectivity with DES regions for negative compared with positive distraction. Study two investigated sex differences in the response to external emotional distraction and yielded …

Network Dynamics of Visual Object Recognition
… study, however, the functional organization and network dynamics within these regions remain poorly understood, due to a lack of appropriate animal models as well as the spatiotemporal limitations of current non-invasive human neuroimaging techniques (e.g. fMRI, scalp EEG). To better understand …

Non-parametric algorithms for evaluating gene expression in cancer using DNA microarray technology
… tissues, genes affected by treatments, and gene network interactions. All methods of microarray data analysis can be summarized as a study of differential gene expression. This study addresses three questions, 1) the roles of selectively expressed genes for the classification of cancer, 2) issues …

A fast optical imaging study of frontoparietal preparatory dynamics in response-mode switching
Coordination between networks of brain regions is important for optimal cognitive performance, especially in attention demanding tasks. With the event-related optical signal (EROS; a measure of changes in optical scattering due to neuronal activity) we can characterize rapidly evolving network …

Moment-linear stochastic systems and their applications
… need for tractable stochastic models for complex network and system dynamics. With this motivation in mind, we develop a class of discrete-time Markov models, called moment-linear stochastic systems (MLSS), which are structured so that moments and cross-moments of the state variables can be …

Endogenous control of stochastic gene expression in the development of Caenorhabditis elegans
… expression profile embarked me on a search for network interactions, leading to the discovery of multiple novel feedback loops within the Wnt pathway. Applying computational network inference, I revealed a network of interlocking positive and negative feedback loops, which I subsequently show to …

Modeling phase synchronization of interacting neuronal populations : from phase reductions to collective behavior of oscillatory neural networks
… synchronization phenomena in oscillatory neural networks. Chapter 2 provides the necessary mathematical theory upon which a sound phase description builds. I outline phase reduction techniques to distill the phase dynamics from complex oscillatory networks. In Chapter 3 I apply them to networks …

Kin, kith, and same-sex couple quality
This study maps the social networks of lesbian and gay couples and shows how their networks affect couple relationship quality. Respondents had to be ages 30 to 55 inclusive, living together at least one year, without children, and residing in Washington State. Recruitment of equal numbers of women …
