Title: Personalized brain imaging to predict individual performance and dysfunction.
Abstract: Personalized brain imaging can estimate a person’s human brain activity and relate it to their behavior and dysfunction. From functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans, we can estimate an individual’s fluid intelligence, ability to focus, and memory skills. We can also diagnose dysfunction such as attention deficits and memory problems; other labs use our methods to study depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and other clinical conditions. As a next step, we are extending our methods to predict future improvement or decline in cognitive function.
