Fall 2012
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) measures the dynamic activity of each voxel of a brain. This dissertation addresses the challenge of learning a diagnostic classifier that uses a subject’s fMRI data to distinguish subjects with neuropsychiatric disorders from healthy controls. fMRI...

Investigating the neural circuitry of spelling in reading impairments: A functional connectivity approach
DownloadSpring 2018
Background. Writing skills are imperative to successful academic and social functioning in todayâs literate society. Yet, literature exploring the underlying mechanisms associated with written communication, namely spelling, is surprisingly limited. This study looked into the neuropsychological...

Fall 2017
Purpose: Emerging data indicate that processing of familiar and novel faces involves different neural mechanisms; familiar face perception is associated with more widespread neural activity in prefrontal and temporal regions compared with novel faces (Leveroni et al., 2000). Nevertheless,...

Neural Correlates of Emotion-Cognition Interactions in Healthy Functioning and Adolescent Psychopathology
DownloadFall 2015
The current dissertation implemented two large studies involving brain imaging and behavioral methods to expand our current understanding of the impact of emotion on cognition. Study one focused on the immediate and long-term impact of emotion on cognition in healthy functioning. Study two...

Spring 2018
Objective: Reading is a complex behaviour requiring the connectivity of numerous brain regions. Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) has recently been used to examine the differences in reading networks in skilled adult readers and skilled and impaired child readers. Such...

The effect of a go/no-go naming task on fMRI BOLD activation in the ventral visual processing stream
DownloadFall 2011
Background: The go/no-go naming behavioural paradigm has furthered our understanding of basic reading processes, however, its neural representations remain largely unknown. Pilot data using this task (with nonwords) produced fMRI ventral stream activation for regular and exception words. This...
