Evaluation of brain perfusion and function in COVID patients

This project is closed. No applications are allowed.

Although COVID-19 is an acute respiratory syndrome, it has direct and indirect effects on neurobiology that can result in cognitive impairment as well as other neurologic symptoms. We aim to evaluate the cerebral perfusion and brain activity in patients who previously tested positive for COVID-19. We will also compare the patterns of brain perfusion and activity with cognitive measures. 

Qualifications

Strong programming skills, (Python, R, C++, or Java)

Experience or coursework in image processing

Interest in neuroscience

Project Timeline

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
