I am teaching a new course
in Spring 2008: ECS 289H, Advanced
Image Processing and Analysis.
UCD grad students interested in dealing with imaging data should
check it out!

New paper: Abnormal Regional
Cerebral Blood Flow in Cognitively Normal Elderly Subjects With Hypertension. This is one of the results from
Weiying DaiÕs PhD project on sophisticated techniques for measuring blood
flow in the brain non-invasively.

Cathy and I recently got married
and went on a honeymoon in China.
Here are some wedding photos
and some honeymoon
photos.

New paper: Cerebral
ventricular changes associated with transitions between normal cognitive
function, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia. This is the third and final paper
about correlations between ventricular expansion, cardiovascular risk
factors, and dementia in the Cardiovascular Health Study.

I recently developed Localized Components
Analysis with Nina Amenta
and her grad student, Dan
Alcantara. It is a new
method for intuitive, efficient shape analysis that can be applied to a
wide variety of objects—including brain regions.

Pete Harris, a member of my
lab, published two papers recently: Mild
Cognitive Impairment as a Concept and Clinical Entity appeared in Prized Writing, a UC Davis
journal of undergraduate technical essays; and ItÕs the Thought
that Counts: How Scientists Are Working to Prevent Dementia appeared in The Voice, a UCD undergraduate
health journal.

Three members of my lab made
presentations about their research projects at the 2007 UC Davis Undergraduate Research Conference. Their abstracts are here.

Gautam Prasad, an undergraduate
researcher in my lab, has accepted a graduate position in the CS department at UCLA, where he will
work in the Laboratory of Neuroimaging (LONI). Way to go, Gautam!

Cathy and I went to Costa Rica
recently. Here are some photos.

Gautam Prasad, an undergrad in
my lab, started a blog to chart his
progress as he writes software to do shape-based brain segmentation
techniques. There are MPEGs
showing his image segmentation program in action. Check it out!

I am teaching ECS 189H: Introduction to
Image Processing and Analysis, in the Winter 2007 quarter at UC
Davis. It is a new class--
take it!

Cathy and I ran the San Francisco Marathon on Sunday July
30. We finished in 4:10. Back in April we ran the Santa Cruz Half
Marathon and finished in 1:48.
Here are some photos
from both.

New paper: Mapping
Ventricular Changes Related to Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment in a
Large Community-Based Cohort. This paper has cool graphics
showing patterns of brain changes related to aging and dementia.
|
|
|
New papers: Acceleration
of cerebral ventricular expansion in the Cardiovascular Health Study and Ventricular
volume and dementia progression in the Cardiovascular Health Study . These describe relationships between
brain structure and cognitive decline in a large study of aging.

I accepted a faculty position
at UC Davis. I have a full-time appointment as
Assistant Professor in the Neurology
Department, School Of Medicine
(Adjunct Series), and I will soon have a courtesy appointment in the Department of Computer Science, School of Engineering. I plan to work closely with members
of the IDEA lab on
geriatric image analysis problems.

I am on the program committee
of the ICCV workshop on Computer
Vision for Biomedical Image Applications. Check it out if you are going to ICCV!

New technical report: Atlas-Based Hippocampus
Segmentation In AlzheimerÕs Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment. (CMU
RI tech report CMU-RI-TR-04-53).
It summarizes my main research project from early in my
postdoc. Part of this was
published in NeuroImage.

|
New paper: A Hybrid
Object-Level/Pixel-Level Framework For Shape-based Recognition (BMVC
2004). This paper talks about
an extension to the basic shape-based object recognition approach in my
thesis.
|
|
|
New paper: Discriminative MR Image
Feature Analysis for Automatic Schizophrenia and Alzheimer's Disease Classification. (CMU RI tech report and MICCAI
Õ04). The title is pretty self-explanatory.
|
|
|
New paper: Shape-based Recognition of Wiry Objects
(PAMI). This is supposed to be
the main journal article summing up the basic algorithm and experiments
detailed in my thesis.
