Part of my previous research work was dedicated to the study of language processing using neuroimaging techniques (Structural, fMRI and DTI). Large parts of my previous and current research consist of developing and applying multivariate methods. These tools are the continuation of the methods implemented in the Multivariate toolbox (MM, Multivariate method toolbox) that I wrote for SPM. There is growing interest in the combinatorics of distributed processing that defines cognitive anatomy. Put simply, it may be important, in neuropsychology and rehabilitation, to know which different combinations of brain areas can support a specific cognitive process. My main interest in neuroimaging lies in the study of inter-individual differences: the understanding of the nature and extent of inter-subject variation is critical for understanding the neural basis of cognitive processes in normal and abnormal populations. My overarching goal is to provide new tools for a more accurate and comprehensive investigation of neural processes in both normal and clinical populations.
