Neuroimaging is currently the main modality for the non-invasive exploration of brain structure and function. In this presentation, we will focus on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that is the only modality that provides a spatially-resolved and full coverage of the brain volume. The use of such data to better understand brain function or to...

In this thesis, we discuss and propose several methods for functional MRI -magnetic resonance imaging- data analysis. Functional MRI is a recent modality for the study of brain function: it produces image sequences that reflect local brain metabolic activity, which in turn reflects neural activity. We first deal with the modeling of each...
