Connectomic Medicine Guide to Brain AI in Treatment Decision Planning

Connectomic Medicine: A Guide to Brain AI in Treatment Decision Planning examines how to apply connectomics to clinical medicine, including discussions on techniques, applications, novel ideas, and in case examples that highlight the state-of-the-art. Written by pioneers, this volume serves as the foundation for all neuroscience clinicians/researchers venturing into the field of AI medicine, its realistic applications, and how to integrate AI connectomics into clinical practice. With widespread applications in neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry, this book is appropriate for anyone interested in cerebral network anatomy, imaging techniques, and insights into this emerging field.

Dr. Sughrue is Associate Professor at the Department of Neurosurgery at Prince of Wales Hospital and Community Health Services in Sydney, Australia. One of the world’s leading neurosurgeons and researchers in connectomics, he is the former Director of the Brain Tumor Center at the University of Oklahoma, during which it grew to become one of the largest clinics in the US. He has lectured around the world on the management of glioma and the use of connectomics, having performed over 3,000 brain tumor surgeries to date and published over 250 peer-reviewed articles. In addition, he cofounded Omniscient Neurotechnology which is an innovative technology startup aimed at using AI to improve the care of patients with mental illness and brain disease.
Dr. Yeung is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon who started his residency in neurosurgery at Yale University in 2013 after completing undergraduate studies at University of British Columbia in Honors Physiology, and his MD degree at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. He is a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. He obtained his fellowship training at the Centre for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery in Sydney, Australia under Dr. Charles Teo. During that time, he published widely on the use of machine learning to study the human functional connectome and was the first neurosurgeon to publish on the use of personalized pre-operative brain mapping during intracerebral surgeries. He is currently a funded neurosurgeon-scientist, mentored by pioneer immunologist Dr. Lieping Chen, with an active research focus at Yale University on identifying novel immunotherapies for the treatment of brain cancers. He acts as the Chief Research Officer for Cingulum Health, which is the first clinic in the world to leverage personalized connectomics with transcranial magnetic stimulation to treat patients with wide-ranging neurological and psychiatric conditions.
