Dr. Ryan Cassidy, PhD
I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) working with Prof. Simon J. Graham researching novel fMRI technology.Research Focus
My research is focused on biomedical signal processing for rehabilitative and assistive applications in aging. To that end, my current work involves comparing multivariate and univariate analysis methodologies in the context of fMRI experiments involving rich, naturalistic, sensorimotor tasks.
