A unified framework for flexible brain image analysis
The imaging findings in schizophrenia are widespread, heterogeneous, not diagnostic, and have limited replicability and it is likely that in part the lack of consistent findings is because most models do not adequately account for the variability present in the data from schizophrenia patients. The successful completion of this research will provide a powerful set of algorithms and software tools for the research community to increase the sensitivity and specificity of functional brain imaging techniques.
Role: Co-Investigator
NIMH R01 MH 076189-03 (PI: Fein) / 06/01/08-05/31/10 / 5%
Language Functioning in Optimal Outcome Children with a History of Autism / $35,000/yr direct costs
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) receiving intensive early intervention can reach what may be called "optimal outcome", in which cognitive and adaptive functioning are within normal limits and they no longer meet criteria for any ASD. Since language difficulties in ASD are so pervasive and central, residual language difficulties might be expected to persist even in children with optimal outcomes. This study will examine the underlying neural mechanisms of the striking improvement of cognitive processes in these optimal outcome children using fMRI tasks of syntax and face processing.
