Unlocking the Mind: Predicting Post-Stroke Cognitive Abilities with EEG

Imagine your brain as a sprawling network of interconnected highways. When a stroke occurs, these highways may get damaged, leading to cognitive impairment. But what if we could predict the future of those cognitive abilities? That’s exactly what a group of scientists set out to do using machine learning and electroencephalography (EEG). By analyzing brain […]

Web-based processing of physiological noise in fMRI: addition of the PhysIO toolbox to CBRAIN

Neuroimaging research requires sophisticated tools for analyzing complex data, but efficiently leveraging these tools can be a major challenge, especially on large datasets. CBRAIN is a web-based platform designed to simplify the use and accessibility of neuroimaging research tools for large-scale, collaborative studies. In this paper, we describe how CBRAIN’s unique features and infrastructure were […]
