This $416,750 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) on September 24, 2024. The grant supports the development of a novel computational model to understand the control mechanism underlying functional dynamics in the human brain. The project aims to elucidate the relationship between brain controllability and cognitive functions like visual working memory and auditory verbal hallucinations. Key deliverables include uncovering the characteristic equation of brain dynamical systems, measuring brain region-level controllability, and identifying disease-specific brain connectome biomarkers. The research leverages machine learning, manifold theory, and optimal control techniques to gain a system-level understanding of how brain function relates to cognition, which could lead to new insights in neuroscience.
