>fiber-tracking techniques, with or without additional knowledge in fMRI.
>Candidates should have previous expertise in diffusion MRI and image
>processing, and will participate to studies of perception and emotion in
>healthy subjects and neurological patients (e.g. stroke, multiple
>sclerosis, epilepsy). Many opportunities are possible for collaborations
