An Introduction to Neuroimaging Research in Schizophrenia
Sylvain Bouix , Harvard University

Abstract:

MR imaging has revolutionized the way neuroscientist study the brain,  
as it has allowed us to investigate the morphology and function of  
the brain /in vivo/, without any harming effects to human subjects.  
This talk will give an overview of current state of the art imaging  
research in Schizophrenia. We will discuss how structural, diffusion  
MRI analysis can be used to get a better understanding of the brain  
abnormalities involved in schizophreni

Sylvain Bouix is an Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical  
School and Associate Director of the Psychiatry Neuroimaging  
Laboratory, Department of Psychiatry, Brigham and Women's Hospital  
where he acts as a mediator between computer scientists and  
neuroscientists to help improve computer tools for neuroimaging  
studies. He received his B.Eng. from Institut Polytechnique de  
Sevenans , France, his M.Sc. from the University of Kansas , and his  
Ph.D. in Computer Science from McGill University . His research
