Overview

Due to the rapid development of imaging sensor technologies, investigators in the physical and biological sciences are now able to observe living systems and measure both their structural and functional behavior across many scales, from global, aggregate behavior to the microscopic scale of sub-cellular structure. Combining biomedical imaging science with computational modeling, we are now able to infer, noninvasively, the structural and functional properties of complex biological systems and neural circuits, for instance study the cohorts of neuropsychiatric illnesses including schizophrenia, depression, epilepsy, dementia of the Alzheimer type, and Parkinson’s.
