Title: Computational analysis of multimodal brain and physiological dynamics
Abstract
Advances in neuroimaging and machine learning are providing exciting opportunities for investigating human brain function in health and disease. Here, we will discuss several directions focused on integrating dynamic measurements of brain activity (functional MRI, EEG) and physiological sensor data. We will discuss how these multimodal temporal signals can enrich the measurement and analysis of behavioral states, such as alertness, and inform the development of clinical biomarkers.
