  My research investigates the clinical utility of presurgical neuroimaging metrics in informing surgical decisions for patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE). To that end

  we analyse functional MRI (fMRI) data

  structural MRI and diffusion weighted MRI. We also use these measures to characterize functional and structural differences in the brain that exist between patients with mTLE and neurologically healthy controls and investigate how these differences may contribute to changes in cognitive functions such as memory and language.
