Brain And SIgnal Research & Analysis laboratory
Our mission
The BASIRA (Brain And SIgnal Research & Analysis) Lab mission aims to develop inclusive, affordable and robust AI models and solutions that can thrive in low-to-high resource settings. We are currently working on decreasing the compute overhead of data-hungry deep learning models across a variety of learning tasks, datasets and infrastructures. Since 2018, we pioneered the field of generative neuroAI, where we introduced the first generation of generative graph neural network models, evidenced by our 60+ peer-reviewed research projects, with application to network neuroscience to generate high-cost brain network data across time, resolutions and domains from a low-cost input. So far, our application areas include network neuroscience, connectomics, medical imaging and vision data. We are dedicated to training and empowering under-represented researchers in AI, fostering new synergies to address global challenges, such as the disparity in medical imaging.
At BASIRA, we empower our members, nurture their talent, and train them to stand out.
