The objective of this research is to develop theoretical and applied statistical methods for the analysis of brain mapping data, in collaboration with my colleagues at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) of the Montreal Neurological Institute. The main scientific aim is to map the network of brain regions which are `activated' during the performance of a particular cognitive or sensorimotor task, using 3D images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The statistical challenge is how to adapt traditional statistical methods, intended for single numbers, to entire 3D images.

这项研究的目的是与我在蒙特利尔神经学研究所麦康奈尔脑成像中心（BIC）的同事合作，为分析脑制图数据开发理论和应用统计方法。主要的科学目标是利用磁共振成像（MRI）的3D图像，绘制出在执行特定认知或感觉运动任务时被“激活”的大脑区域网络。统计方面的挑战是如何将传统的统计方法（用于单个数字）应用于整个3D图像。
