Title: Using Image Analysis to Unravel Mysteries of the Brain The talk will focus on recent advances in image analysis that impact the study of the brain. Connections between the immune system and the brain made by way of image analysis will be highlighted. The talk will focus on segmentation of neurons, glia and meningeal lymphatics and bacteria. A graph theoretic model that incorporates elasticity via a shape manifold will be introduced. A post-processing method for machine learning-based segmentation of cells will be described. More recent applications, including a transformer model for image enhancement in the presence of signal-dependent noise and a planning method for transcranial focused ultrasound, will be presented.
