Selected Research Projects

Age Related Changes in Complex Brain Networks

Crystal Vechlekar Blair, Paul Laurienti, Jonathan Burdette, Sean Simpson
This study is designed to evaluate age related shifts in brain networks using both global and regional network properties under three condtions: rest, visual, and multisensory.
More...
This project is funded by NIH grants #NS042568, #NS070917, the Roena Kulynych Memory and Cognition Research Center, the Wake Forest School of Medicine Clinical Research Unit #RR07122, and the Wake Forest School of Medicine Translational Science Institute

Effect of Music on the Brain

Robin Wilkins, Matt Steen, Paul Laurienti, Jonathan Burdette, Don Hodges
The effects of musical preference on the complex brain networks of listeners are under investigation in this study. Preliminary results indicate that preference and genre can change connectivity in the human brain.

This project is funded by the Wake Forest School of Medicine Center for Biomolecular Imaging and the Music Research Institute at UNCG

Investigating Music,Emotion and Memory

Robin Wilkins, Paul Laurienti, Matt Steen, Donald Hodges, Jonathan Burdette
This study uses network science methods to examine how individual favorite songs affect brain connectivity.

This project is funded by the Music Research Institute of the University of North Carolina Greensboro, The Center for Biomolecular Imaging at WFSM, and Wake Forest School of Medicine.

Network Theory Analysis of Self-Administered Ethanol

Qawi Telesford, Paul Laurienti, Bob Kraft, Jim Daunais, Chris Wyatt in collaboration with David Friedman
In this project we examine the effects of alcohol use on functional brain networks in chronic users and due to acute exposure.
