<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The candidate is to investigate encoding and decoding of the functional and structural connectome by using graph neural network approaches. Encoding learns
compact representations of the connectome, leading to disease classification, subtype identification, etc., and decoding is aimed at identifying key brain regions and connections implicated in brain diseases. The candidate is to apply recent Graph Neural Networks
such as GCN, GraphSAGE, and GAT for connectome analysis from fMRI and DTI scans and to handle key challenges to such approaches such as the lack of large imaging datasets and inconsistences across images gathered on multiple sites.</span><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
