Software that supports browsing and inspecting essential BrainVoyager data files as well as the header and content of DICOM files. The Viewer supports standard image files (JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, BMP) allowing to inspect snapshots, figures or photos. Users can prepare a folder with selected data of a subject (VMRs, SRFs, Maps, snapshot images), which allows participants of fMRI measurements to browse their brain data and to show it to others. The Viewer can be handed over to colleagues not having a BrainVoyager license together with relevant data. This will allow them to view and explore your analyzed data files.

http://www.ebire.org/hcnlab/software/vamca.html

A stand-alone, open source human cortical meta-analysis and visualization toolbox for MatLab. It projects stereotaxic coordinates to a mean cortical surface by using an anatomical database of 60 young adults to provide multiple mappings of normalized cortical surfaces into MNI space. VAMCA performs the following analyses: # Multi-Fiducial Projection Mapping: Map stereotaxic 3D coordinates to the normalized cortical location for each of 60 database subjects. # Computing Centroid Locations for groups of foci both on a mean cortical surface and in MNI space. # Comparing Two Groups of Foci for differences in location (surface or 3D) of their group centroids and computing the groups' overlap extent using permutation tests. # Detecting Significant Densities of Foci or Density Differences of Two Groups within anatomical ROIs on a mean cortical surface by using Monte Carlo analyses. Coordinate weights allow fixed or random effects type analyses.

http://www.mlnl.cs.ucl.ac.uk/pronto/

A software toolbox based on pattern recognition techniques for the analysis of neuroimaging data. Statistical pattern recognition is a field within the area of machine learning which is concerned with automatic discovery of regularities in data through the use of computer algorithms, and with the use of these regularities to take actions such as classifying the data into different categories. In PRoNTo, brain scans are treated as spatial patterns and statistical learning models are used to identify statistical properties of the data that can be used to discriminate between experimental conditions or groups of subjects (classification models) or to predict a continuous measure (regression models).

http://humanconnectome.org/consortia/

Project to map the neural pathways that underlie human brain function for several modalities of neuroimaging data including fMRI. The purpose of the Project is to acquire and share data about the structural and functional connectivity of the human brain. It will greatly advance the capabilities for imaging and analyzing brain connections, resulting in improved sensitivity, resolution, and utility, thereby accelerating progress in the emerging field of human connectomics. Altogether, the Human Connectome Project will lead to major advances in the understanding of what makes us uniquely human and will set the stage for future studies of abnormal brain circuits in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. The sixteen institutes and centers of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience have funded two major grants that will take complementary approaches to deciphering the brain's amazingly complex wiring diagram. An 11-institution consortium led by Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Minnesota received a 5-year grant to enable development and utilization of advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods to chart brain circuitry. A consortium led by Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of California at Los Angeles received a grant to enable building and refining a next-generation 3T MR scanner that improves the quality and spatial resolution with which brain connectivity data can be acquired at this field strength.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/fp_cit_atlas

The FP-CIT SPECT brain template has been created using a fully automatic procedure involving posterization of the source image to three levels: background, brain and striatum. We performed a spatial affine registration of these 40 posterized source images to a posterized reference image in the MNI space. The intensity values of the transformed images is normalized linearly, assuming that the histogram of the intensity values follows an alpha-stable distribution. Lastly, we built the [123I]FP-CIT SPECT template by the mean of the transformed and normalized images. More info: 1) Salas-Gonzalez et al. Building a FP-CIT SPECT brain template using a posterization approach. Accepted in Neuroinformatics. 2) Salas-Gonzalez et al.
