Masters candidate in Biostatistics, Trang Le, will present: "Bayesian Spectral Estimation and Test-retest Reliability of Low-frequency Oscillation Amplitudes in Resting-state fMRI" Plan B Adviser: Mark Fiecas Abstract: The amplitude of low frequency oscillations in spontaneous fluctuations of brain signals obtained from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), as quantified from power spectral density (PSD), is a measure of brain activity with the potential to detect brain abnormality. The present work provides a Bayesian model for using smoothing splines to estimate…
