Personal profile
Research interests
For the past decade, I have been involved in medical imaging in humans and more particularly the use of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in research and clinical settings. Specifically, I have developed tools to better correct motion artifacts in resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI), studied the reliability of rs-fMRI and applied this modality to study the impact and/or the manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorders on the brains of war veterans and children. In addition, my current research focuses on the improvement of deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy for movement disorders and the study of neurodegenerative disorders by using subject-specific data from high-resolution MRI at 7 Tesla (T).
