:: cortical surface analysis in Huntington's disease using linear-mixed models

Noobs think linear regression is easy... enter LMMs.
Although it will be published after StoneAnno, this shape analysis is my first completed research project and technically my first first-authorship, submitted to Brain. I wrote code in R and MATLAB to fit LMMs to the cortical data from T1w MRI of HD patients and then performed statistical analyses on the results using SurfStat and random field theory. We found that, with a novel method for measuring gyrification, LGI uniquely detects changes in the insula.

''Many things that seem threatening in the dark become welcoming when we shine light on them.'' -- Uncle Iroh
Neural network automated verification of a VAE and SegNet using NNV. Although neural networks are promising, they are easily confused, particularly if the input domain is perturbed. In this project, I demonstrate the robustness of MNIST-trained VAE and SegNet against varying brightness attacks.
