Dynamic mode decomposition of fMRI during film watching

The use of naturalistic stimuli, such as films, during functional MRI acquisitions is opening a new way to explore brain activity. One approach is “dynamic mode decomposition” (DMD), a latent space discovery method built upon auto-regressive models that can identify different dynamical components within the multivariate time series provided by fMRI. First analyses have shown promising results, but the aim of this project is to revisit and deepen these initial findings with the purpose of further dissemination.

Encoding and Decoding fMRI during film watching

While human brain decoding and encoding for simple images have been explored here we propose to study human brain decoding and encoding during naturalistic stimuli i.e film watching. First analyses have shown promising results. The goal of this project is to better understand its neurological mechanisms in fMRI.

Dynamics of brain networks for optimised energy distribution

Every single moments of our lives we solicit brain which in turn, consumes much of the energy we possess. However, given that we have limited resource, our brain would supposedly need to distribute resources across its regions in an optimised way. Now, the aim of this project is to study its optimised distribution across situations (e.g tasks / rest / film) considering multiple optimisation schemes derived from Fractional Programming.
