Gender bias in neuro citations

A study of gendered citation practices within top neuroscience journals. Shows overall undercitation of women-led work, particularly by men-led teams.

Published in Nature Neuroscience
Topics: Neuroscience, Gender, Ethics
Skills: Bibliometrics, Data cleaning
Density-based test for MRI data

A method to test for group differences in voxel intensity profiles using multivariate densities. Reveals thalamic differences across MS subtypes.

Published in Biostatistics
Topics: Nonparametric stats, MRI data
Skills: Statistical methods, Simulation
Automation in the US job network

An investigation into how similarities and differences between occupations change the burden of automation across the job network
‍
Published in Royal Society Open Science
Topics: Job automation, Networks
Skills: Network analysis, Data cleaning
Dynamic topic networks in PNAS

A demonstration of topic networks for understanding relationships between scientific ideas. Reveals link between interdisciplinarity and impact factor.

Published in PLoS One
Topics: Networks, Science of science
Skills: Graph theory, MatLab, R
Network of neuroimaging

A network analysis of the connections between topics in neuroimaging. Reveals division across modalities, and potential sources of topic popularity.

Published in NeuroImage
Topics: Networks, Science of science
Skills: Graph theory, MatLab, R
Counting confluent MS lesions

A technique for separating spatially connected lesion tissue into distinct components, to cross-sectionally obtain the natural history of lesion formation.

Published in AJNR
Topics: Neuroimaging, MS lesions
Skills: Image processing, Math, R
MS central vein detection

An automated technique for the detection of central veins in MS lesions, a potentially important biomarker for distinguishing MS from its mimics.

Published in AJNR
Topics: Neuroimaging, MS biomarkers
Skills: Image processing, Programming
Predicting MS lesion recovery

A model that integrates imaging and clinical information observed at lesion incidence to predict the recovery of white matter lesions in MS patients.

Published in Neuroimage: Clinical
Topics: Prediction, MS lesions
Skills: Statistical modeling, R
Capturing emotional suppression

A study examining the suppression of emotional expression as it naturally occurred in couple discussions, and investigating potential consequences.

Published in Emotion
Topics: Emotion regulation, Marriage
Skills: Time series analysis, R, HLM
Statistical reporting in pain trials

A study assessing the quality of reporting of statistical methods in clinical trials of non-pharmacologic, non-interventional pain treatments.

Published in Journal of Clinical Epi.
Topics: Statistics, Pain clinical trials
Skills: Literature review, Statistical testing
