Dr. Stoecklein's research investigates intrinsic functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) to map brain communication patterns. Her projects aim to track disease progression in individual patients and identify biomarkers for treatment outcomes in conditions like brain tumors and chronic pain.

Recent publications highlight her group's work with resting-state fMRI and machine learning, including studies on meningioma-related edema (2023), glioma connectivity alterations (2020), and preterm brain development (2020). These studies span neuroimaging, computational neuroscience, and clinical neurology applications.

Her research integrates neuro-oncology, brain network analysis, and treatment personalization through advanced machine learning techniques. The group seeks to improve medical decision-making by correlating functional connectome patterns with patient-specific disease states.
