Improving language outcomes in people with epilepsy
Epilepsy is a serious and debilitating condition which is grossly under-researched despite the devastating impact it can have. Damage to the vast language processing network of the brain during surgical resection can cause aphasia, a devastating communication disability. This project aims to determine reliable pre-surgical mapping and outcome predictors in epilepsy resection: To 1) develop a reliable and comprehensive battery to map the language network in pre-surgical epilepsy patients with different foci, and 2) assess how the reorganisation of the …

Mathematical and computational models for diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI)
In 1985, the first image of water diffusion in the living human brain came to life. Since then significant developments have been made and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has become a pillar of modern neuroimaging.Over the last decade, combining computational modelling and diffusion MRI has enabled researchers to link millimetre scale diffusion MRI measures with microscale tissue properties, to infer microstructure information, such as diffusion anisotropy in white matter, axon diameters, axon density, intra/extra-cellular volume fractions, and fibre orientation …
