Specifically, we investigate the potential for plasticity, mechanisms for stabilization and compensation across the lifespan. For this, we acquire and analyze multimodal data sets, such as structural MR, diffusion weighted data (DWI), simultaneous EEG and eye-tracking as well as behavioral data. From these rich data sets, we extract multivariate parameters and apply state-of-the-art methods, such as machine learning, functional network modelling, and longitudinal analyses. </span><span lang="EN-US" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><i class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Responsibilities:</span></i><span lang="EN-US" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The successful candidate will work on research in large scale multimodal projects to predict future cognitive decline from multimodal brain imaging data and non-brain risk factors (see project description below).

text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The present project aims to develop a framework to predict individual future cognitive decline in healthy and pathological aging based on existing data from multimodal neuroimaging and non-brain risk factors like demographics, baseline cognitive state, health, health behaviors, and genetic (i.e. APOE) data. The project will use data from the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS-3) database (<a href="http://oasis-brains.org" class="">oasis-brains.org</a>) and the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) (<a href="http://adni.loni.usc.edu/" class="">http://adni.loni.usc.edu/</a>). This databases provides longitudinal data from multiple neuroimaging and risk factor data sources, allowing to characterize cognitive decline over multiple years in healthy and pathological aging in a large sample of over 1’000 participants. The multimodal neuroimaging and risk factors, from the baseline session will be used to predict cognitive decline at follow-up sessions via predictive models. The pilot experiment suggests that a combination of non-brain and structural data give the best predictions of future cognitive decline. The model needs to be refined by benchmarking different data processing strategies for input and further improving the generalizability by increasing the model’s robustness against site-effects.</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br class=""></span></div></div><div class="">
