Single-case predictions of motor abilities in health and disease (B05)

• Subject Area: Cognitive, Systems and Behavioural Neurobiology
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 431549029

Project B05 explores the neurobiological basis of inter-individual differences in motor functions based on MRI and fMRI by training multivariate statistical learning models and evaluating their accuracy for predicting individual motor functions in previously unseen subjects. The resulting models will describe the neurobiology of inter-individual differences, also considering ageing. They will be extended to patients with ischemic strokes through novel transfer-learning approaches, thereby offering new insights into the pathophysiology underlying motor impairment and recovery of function.
