Computational Modeling of Anatomical and Functional Variability in Populations Polina Golland Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Population Modeling • Traditional Approach: • External information defines populations • Images explain variability • Unimodal assumption: “average brain” • Computational anatomy • Our solution: • Images define populations • External information correlates with image structure • Key idea: multiple templates • Collaborators and Pubs: • R. Buckner (Harvard, HMS), M. Shenton (BWH, HMS) • Sabuncuet al. IEE TMI 2009.
Aging Study • 400 subjects, ages 18-96 • Some older subjects diagnosed with MCI 3 Templates: Old Young Middle
Age Distributions 2 Templates 3 Templates
Functional Geometry • Anatomy-free model of connectivity • Use co-activation to embed in a functional space • Align embedded patterns across subjects • Collaborators & Pubs: • A. Golby (BWH, HMS) • Langs et al. NIPS 2010, IPMI 2011.
Joint Model of Connectivity Control Template • Unified model • Functional co-activations (fMRI) • Anatomical connectivity (DWI) • Population differences • Collaborators & Pubs: • C.F. Westin, M. Kubicki (BWH, HMS) • Venkataraman et al. MICCAI 2010 Schizophrenia Template
