Professor Mahadevan-Jansen's research focuses on the application of optical techniques for the diagnosis of pathology and neuromodulation. The primary research areas include:

  1. Optical Diagnostics
  2. Neurophotonics
  3. Image-guided Surgical Techniques

I am interested in biomedical Image and signal processing, combined with different machine learning techniques to aid in clinical diagnosis and treatment procedures of various diseases.

At VUIIS, I am trying to analyze the intrinsic functional connectivity of the spinal cord of non-human primates, using the Local field Potential signal . In particular, I am trying to do data-driven analysis for analyzing the intrinsic functional connectivity of the spinal cord. Also, in another project I am involved in applying machine learning methods to differentiate between different stages of Alzeihmer's using White matter resting state connectivity obtained using fMRI.
