Open AccessEpisodic memory deficit in HIV infection: common phenotype with Parkinson’s disease, different neural substrates
Episodic memory deficits occur in people living with HIV (PLWH) and individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Given known effects of HIV and PD on frontolimbic systems, episodic memory deficits are often attr...

Solving Logistic Regression with Group Cardinality Constraints for Time Series Analysis
We propose an algorithm to distinguish 3D+t images of healthy from diseased subjects by solving logistic regression based on cardinality constrained, group sparsity. This method reduces the risk of overfitting...

FLOOR: Fusing Locally Optimal Registrations
Most registration algorithms, such as Demons [1], align two scans by iteratively finding the deformation minimizing the image dissimilarity at each location and smoothing this minimum across the image domain. ...
