Daouia Larabi

Dr. Daouia Larabi is an Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen, affiliated with both the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Medical Sciences. She leads the Clinical & Developmental Neuropsychology department and specializes in neuropsychology, clinical neuroimaging, and neurosciences. Her research focuses on brain networks in psychopathology, particularly psychosis, using advanced neuroimaging techniques like fMRI and structural MRI.

Her expertise includes multimodal data analysis (resting-state/task-based fMRI, DWI, structural MRI), dynamic connectivity, functional/structural connectomes, and machine learning for brain-behavior predictions. She co-coordinates courses such as Introduction to Clinical Neuropsychology and supervises master thesis students in Clinical Neuropsychology and BCN research programs. She also organizes clinical internship intervision meetings and lectures on fMRI in mental health research.

Dr. Larabi's recent publications emphasize the predictive power of individual characteristics over neuroimaging data for behavioral phenotypes, and the optimization of brain state synchronicity for predictive accuracy. She actively participates in academic events, serving on the organizing committees for the Dutch Neuroscience Meeting and the Schizophrenia International Research Society Annual Congress.
