I take a novel approach to identifying and modelling frontal connections of the brain by studying how different tasks affect the degree of correlation between regions. I have developed new statistical techniques to measure how greatly these connections are altered by disease conditions, through drugs, or by training. My aim is to create a more complete model for the function of the basal ganglia, which will lead to new insights into the processes underlying diseases such as Parkinson's, as well as providing us with new means to examine schizophrenia, autism and Alzheimer's disease. I also worked on a new tool for multivariate analysis called PolyPEMON, with potential applications in both fMRI and other related disciplines. I am now a Psychiatric Academic Clinical Fellow and Speciality Training Registrar 3 (ACF/ST3) in Oxford.
