Abbreviation of location of studies: DE IK


Description of the research topic:

In the recent years, a large number of studies have investigated the complexity of structural and functional brain connectivity by graph theoretical and effective connectivity analysis. These methods allow to study the nature of the human brain networks modeled by regional interactions of structural, functional, diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T1, fMRI, DWI), quantitative electro- or magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG), measurements and low resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) as well.
The main problem of the methodological development of in vivo brain network analysis is the validation. The usage of recently developed and freely available brain simulators come in useful in point of view this problem. The main goal is this research proposal is to integrate different simulator and network analysis software into a complex parallelized system and use it to validate different published and own developed methods.
