Psychiatric disorders are among the main causes of socio-occupational disability in western countries and their impact grows every year. Most of these psychiatric disorders begin in childhood or adolescence, with about one in ten children worldwide diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. However, little investment in research is devoted to the study of mental disorders in this age group. V…
The importance of statistics in natural sciences is unquestionable. Statistics is essential to analyze data appropriately and to reach reliable conclusions. However, little is known about formal statistical methods on graphs and their theoretical properties even with an increasing number of reports on the analysis of real world networks (e.g. functional brain networks, protein-protein int…
The Federal University of ABC (UFABC) is one of the new Brazilian federal universities, created by Law 11,145 on 26 July 2005. Therefore, the support of development agencies is indeed essential for the research development in a level of excellence. In this proposal, we present a project to use the FAPESP-RTI of CMCC. This proposal focuses on the acquisition boards for hardware designs, an…
Neuroimaging methods technology such as functional MRI, tractography, voxel-based morphometry, analysis of cortical surface are advancing rapidly, allowing the observation of distinct aspects of brain structure and function, playing a fundamental contribution to the understanding of mental disorders (MD). Traditionally, "average" comparison between groups of healthy subjects and patients …
A major recent technical innovation for mapping the structure and function of the human brain has been the ability to acquire magnetic resonance images (fMRI) with high spatial resolution. MRI images represent a very large amount of information and effective use of these data has become critical for comprehension of cognitive processes and diseases and for clinical application of MRI. A c…

The transition between childhood and adolescence is of extreme importance for neurodevelopment, as this phase presents intense changes that result in the consolidation of brain connectivity networks. However, these structures, which are accountable for behavior patterns, can mature atypically, resulting in psychiatric symptoms (e.g., depression, aggression, somatization and others) or psy…
The advances in functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) acquisition systems make it possible to collect the data of hemodynamic states in severalbrain regions simultaneously in two subjects, while they are interacting. This approach is named hyperscanning and is one of the hot topics in social Neuroscience. The interactions between an adult and child in which there isan affective bo…
A considerable part of mental disorders can be contextualized as an inadequate establishment of connections in the human brain, especially in a context of atypical neurodevelopment. There is a strong interest in the characterization of such a typicality, as well as in biomarkers and metrics that allow the progression or risk of such diseases. The analysis of functional magnetic resonance …
The ability to temporally coordinate one's own movement with those of others is a fundamental aspect of social interaction. However, one of the main methodological challenges for the study of the neural correlates of cognitive processes underlying social interaction and joint action concerns the development of dynamic and naturalistic paradigms that assess in real-time all the individuals…
Despite the advances in neuroimaging technology, investigations of brain functional dynamics and processes in real-life situations are scarce. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising technology on this matter, particularly in children, who are more prone to head movement. In this fNIRS study, we aim to identify neural markers associated with reading and writing in chi…

The nature and extent of episodic memory impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not clear and vary among studies, with some studies reporting impairment in immediate recall and/or delayed recall, while others report deficits only in recognition. These deficits suggest encoding and consolidation problems, which are generally associated with temporal lobe dysfunctions. Indeed,…
Neuroimaging studies in psychiatry can potentially elucidate biological pathways, identify biomarkers of disease, prognosis, or treatment, and help redefine diagnostic boundaries. However, the availability of large-scale dataset is of paramount importance to properly evaluate these studies. In addition, the high-dimensional space of neuroimaging data requires sophisticated processing meth…
