Topological Data Analysis for Functional Neuroimaging
Topological Data Analysis for Functional Neuroimaging (303326)
*Nicole Lazar, University of GeorgiaKeywords: brain imaging data, big data, topology
Topological data analysis (TDA) is a relatively new development at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. The approach, which focuses on topological features of a data set, is particularly suited for "Big Data", often characterized by complicated structure such as images. In this talk, I will discuss the basics of TDA, emphasizing persistent homology and its uses for functional neuroimaging data.
