<p class="MsoNormal"><b>“Visual Analysis in Population Imaging
Research (VAnPIRe)” .<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The PhD position will be part of the
Population Imaging Genetics project (stw-imagene) that
involves linking observations on the human genome to
observations in imaging data. Novel, genome-wide sequencing
approaches combined with large-scale population imaging
studies open up unprecedented possibilities for discovering
the cause of a disease and relating it to its anatomical and
functional consequences.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The exact nature of the features
(markers) that have the highest correlation with the
clinical outcomes under study is by definition hard to
predict. Due to the magnitude and heterogeneity of the data,
as well as the nonspecific nature of the features that are
being sought, this is a complex and laborious process.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>We envision a new class of visual
analysis techniques that enable the structured and
interactive visual exploration of population imaging data.
With these techniques, patterns and high-potential
hypotheses can be flexibly derived from population imaging
data, aiding both the derivation of insight and the search
for predictive data features.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The main aim of this project is to
develop and evaluate a new, interactive visual analysis
approach that enables the extraction of patterns and
high-potential hypotheses from the irregular and complex
population imaging research data.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>New insights into the mechanisms behind
the clinical outcome of a population can be extracted by
augmenting the human visual system with interactive
visualization and coupled feature extraction techniques.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
