Brain Connectivity
I measured the connectivity of brains using small-worldness and then comparing that connectivity measure against all subject in the data from the Human Connectome Project. I created a website to allow researchers to compare behavioral variables among subjects with similar brain connectivity. My hope is that neurological researchers will be able to use this tool to detect patterns among individuals with similar brain connectivity.
