Modeling The Functional Human Brain: A Network-Based Approach

Traditional practice in neuroscience has been to examine the brain in terms of isolated components extracted from images. However, more recent trends have moved towards the examination of the entire brain in order to observe the complete topology and to capture emergent behavior not present at the component level. Network based models enable us to study how low level interactions in the brain can produce emergent behaviors, and identify regions that are most central to those behaviors. This project takes two approaches to the understanding of the functional brain as a network.
