Toomas Erik Anijärv
PhD student @ Clinical Memory Research Unit, Lund University | Adjunct Fellow @ Thompson Institute, University of the Sunshine Coast.
I’m a PhD student in the field of neuroimaging and Alzheimer’s disease at the Clinical Memory Research Unit in Lund University . Furthermore, I’m an Adjunct Fellow at the Thompson Institute of University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia . I have a background in biomedical engineering and have obtained a Master’s degree in Medical Technology and Physics from Tallinn University of Technlogy .
During my PhD, I’m investigating the early brain functional changes of Alzheimer’s disease continuum using functional ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). My other research interests include examining different electroencephalography (EEG) methods as biomarkers for depression, suicidality, aging, and cognition.
Most of my code for MRI data analysis can be found on my GitHib as mribrew. My signal processing and analysis work with EEG is available as EEG-pyline: EEG pipeline in Python. I’ve also created a Python package HLR - Hierarchical Linear Regression which allows researchers to perform hierarchical regression with ease in Python using Pandas dataframes.
Besides my active involvement with neuroscience and neuroimaging research, I am interested in longevity research, history, and space exploration.
