Graphical Structural Learning of rs-fMRI data in Heavy Smokers
Recent studies revealed structural and functional brain changes in heavy smokers. However, the specific changes in topological brain connections are not well understood. We used Gaussian Undirected Graphs with the graphical lasso algorithm on rs-fMRI data from smokers and non-smokers to identify significant changes in brain connections. Our results indicate high stability in the estimated graphs and identify several brain regions significantly affected by smoking, providing valuable insights for future clinical research.

Automated Assessment of Facial Wrinkling: a case study on the effect of smoking
Facial wrinkle is one of the most prominent biological changes that accompanying the natural aging process. However, there are some external factors contributing to premature wrinkles development, such as sun exposure an…
Face ModelA Hierarchical Graphical Model for Big Inverse Covariance Estimation with an Application to fMRI
Brain networks has attracted the interests of many neuroscientists. From functional MRI (fMRI) data, statistical tools have been developed to recover brain networks. However, the dimensionality of whole-brain fMRI, usual…
Incorporating structured assumptions with probabilistic graphical models in fMRI data analysis
With the wide adoption of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) by cognitive neuroscience researchers, large volumes of brain imaging data have been accumulated in recent years. Aggregating these data to derive sc…
Functional ConnectivityModelling Statistics of Polypeptides in Emissions from Smokers Near Ocean Ridges
We have previously shown in model studies that rapid quenches of systems of monomers interacting to form polymer chains can fix nonequilibrium chemistries which could lead to the origin of life. We suggested that such qu…
