DESCRIPTION:Ph.D. Committee:聽 Drs. Nikolaos Bourbakis (advisor)\, Soon Chun
 g\, Bin Wang\, Miltiadis Alamaniotis (University of Texas\, San Antonio)\,
  and Konstantinos Michalopoulos (Convergent Engineering\, Inc.) ABSTRACT:H
 uman brain analysis and understanding pose several challenges due to the g
 reat complexity of the structural organization and the functional connecti
 vity that characterizes the human brain. The ability of the brain to adapt
  in dynamic changes over time such as normal aging\, neurodegenerative dis
 eases or congenital brain malformations renders the brain鈥檚 exploration a 
 particularly demanding and difficult task.In recent years\, advances in br
 ain imaging modalities and lately the multimodal fusion combined with impr
 ovements in related technologies have greatly assisted the development of 
 brain maps by providing insights regarding the overall brain structure and
  functionality. Even though\, the existence of sensor and motor maps for t
 he human brain is known to some degree\, the formation process is still su
 bject to research.Significant interest presents the case of studying brain
  activities and mapping of 3D sensation and representation for visually im
 paired people relevant to navigation. In an effort to extend the current r
 esearch in the field of spatial navigation\, 3D space sensation and repres
 entation for blind born individuals a novel Brain Mapping Model (BMM) is p
 roposed within this PhD proposal. The proposed BMM is based on the synergy
  of state-of-the-art computational techniques to associate the brain regio
 nal activities\, triggered by alternative (vibrations) sensations\, relate
 d to 3D space orientation. Overall\, the overarching goal of this BMM is t
 o contribute to the further exploration and better understanding of the al
 ternative space perception of visually impaired population.Spyridon Mangan
 as (manganas.2@wright.edu) earned his diploma degree from the Department o
 f Electrical and Computer Engineering\, University of Patras\, Greece. He 
 is currently a Ph.D. student at 糖心原创 in Dayton\, Ohio\,
  and a graduate research assistant at the Center of Assistive Research Tec
 hnologies (CART). His research interests center around the area of brain i
 maging using multimodal approaches.
