Epilepsy presurgical investigation may include focal intracortical single-pulse electrical stimulations with depth electrodes, which induce cortico-cortical evoked potentials at distant sites because of white matter connectivity. Cortico-cortical evoked potentials provide a unique window on functional brain networks because they contain sufficient information to infer dynamical properties of large-scale brain connectivity, such as preferred directionality and propagation latencies. Here, we developed a biologically informed modelling approach to estimate the neural physiological parameters of brain functional networks from the cortico-cortical evoked potentials recorded in a large multicentric database.

In 2013, we proposed a new probabilistic functional tractography methodology to study human brain connectivity. We have now been revisiting this method in the F-TRACT project (f-tract.

Methods: The features quantified signals' variance, spatial-temporal correlation and nonlinear properties.
This paper presents a new method to estimate left ventricle deformations using variational data assimilation that combines image observations from cine MRI and a dynamic evolution model of the heart. The main contribution of the model is that it embeds parameters modeling the contraction / relaxation process. It estimates myocardial motion and contraction parameters simultaneously, providing accurate complementary information for diagnosis.
