Contra dance: Sashay, Sassy Kat

February 4th, 2011

Written for Katherine Sanden, who wrote me a song.  She likes the traditional “reel” dances that have a couple down the center with all the attention.  I ruin that by having the other folks swing during the sashay down, but redeem myself with the leapfrog move (that Heather Carmichael came up with).  And if you like a hay, there’s two of them!

Paper published: A baseline for the multivariate comparison of resting state networks

February 4th, 2011

In this paper we’ve put together a cohort of so-called “healthy normal controls” in the largest single group independent component analysis (ICA) forward model. Included in our analysis approach is a statistical methodology for performing mancova when the number of fMRI brain voxels (roughly V=60K) to test for activation differences over demographic variables is much larger than the number of subjects (N=603).  This massive project involved researchers nearly spanning our Medical Image Analysis Laboratory (MIALab), but many other investigators at the Mind Research Network (MRN).  It is a great example of what makes collaboration fun, challenging, and productive (thank you Elena, Eswar, Bill, Judith, Martin, and Srinivas).
