Applications of deep learning in neuroimaging

Applications of deep learning in neuroimaging

"How deep learning can be used in neuroimaging analyses? A hands-on example using the nobrainer library and Montreal AI-Neuroscience workshop material."

Information

The estimated time to complete this training module is 2h.

The prerequisites to take this module are:

Contact Hao-Ting Wang if you have questions on this module, or if you want to check that you completed successfully all the exercises.

Resources

This module will be using the MAIN educational workshop on brain encoding and decoding.

Exercise

Let's have a look at application on functional data with the MAIN educational workshop on brain encoding and decoding. We will look at the decoding modules. This part is independent from the video above.

  • Please follow the introduction, set-up your environment and clone the material from GitHub. Please provide your ansers in jupyter notebooks.

  • Through out this tutorial you will be using the Haxby data set. Please read through and understand how to access it here and go throught the original support-vector machine analysis of the study and complete the exercises.

  • After understanding the workflow of functional data, please go through the Multi-Layer Perceptron and complete the relevant exercise. If you want a challenge, please feel free to do the harder questions, or do both lessons 🎉.

  • (Optional) You can learn about the Graph Convolution Network and how to work with timeseries data!

  • Follow up with Hao-Ting Wang to validate you completed the exercise correctly.

  • 🎉 🎉 🎉 you completed this training module! 🎉 🎉 🎉
