My specific area of interest lies in understanding brain and behavior. Since brain applies different strategies to interact with the environment, thus a focused study is required to look for interactions among the brain areas. I honor Science because of its self-explanatory nature, if each intermediate step to reach conclusion is performed thoroughly. Functional neuroimaging with its potential role can explore specific brain areas associated with human behavior. Computational neuroscience is more appealing to me because of its quantitative explanation for natural brain processes. The appropriate scientific approach is required in present imaging technologies for computing significant results. I want to explore the mechanism responsible for memory and its related disorders. This requires a functional connectivity approach via analyzing temporal dependence among spatially remote brain areas. My main aim is to provide assistance in contemporary imaging techniques or to develop its alternate in order to serve humanity.
