Mr František Váša![]() University positionPhD student DepartmentsInstitutesHome pagehttps://scholar.google.co.uk/citatio... Research ThemesInterestsI study methods for the construction and analysis of human structural and functional brain networks, using data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Using these methods, I hope to help characterise healthy adolescent development, and to identify differences between brain networks of healthy participants and patients with a range of psychiatric disorders. Research Focus
EquipmentComputational modelling Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Collaborators
