Overview

The Abbasi Lab develops models and algorithms based on principles in statistics and machine learning to understand functions of the brain and related disorders. To discover and model the functions of population of neurons, the lab studies large-scale datasets with a wide variety of modalities such as electrophysiology, calcium imaging, electron microscopy, and gene expression. In the next step and in order to bridge our understanding of the brain to the diagnosis, Abbasi Lab builds tools to study and visualize large-scale neurological clinical datasets. The goal is to uncover the relationship between health records and disease symptoms, and help clinicians benefit from the information hidden in the data. This involves analyzing and visualizing medical images and structured and unstructured clinical documents.

Publications

Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Researchers can login to make corrections and additions, or contact us for help. to make corrections and additions.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
