Software library that is a collection of Java classes that enable Java programmers to model, manipulate and visualize geometric shapes and associated data values. It simplifies the creation of application programs by providing a ready-made set of support routines. * File format readers that implement ShapeIO interface (modeled after Java ImageIO) are automatically used when appropriate. * Storage of additional metadata of arbitrary type (other than shape vertices and interconnections) is enabled by the use of data attributes. * Shapes may contain a set of child shapes allowing for the construction and manipulation of complex hierarchies of shapes. * The various components of a shape are specified as interfaces with specific implementations, making it easy to create specialized implementations of a shape component when different performance characteristics are required.

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

Vervet (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) probabilistic atlas that defines an anatomical space (template) with associated tissue and regional prior probability maps. The atlas was produced from whole head MRI of 10 normal adult animal subjects. The package consists of two atlases. The Biased directory contains the average template and probabilistic atlases for selected tissue classes constructed by registering the training population to one subject. The Unbiased directory contains the atlas constructed using unbiased estimation. The atlas is suitable for use in any segmentation tool using a probabilistic atlas, for example those in Slicer.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 31, 2022. Center focused on the development of computational biological atlases of different populations, subjects, modalities, and spatio-temporal scales with 3 types of resources: (1) Stand-alone computational software tools (image and volume processing, analysis, visualization, graphical workflow environments). (2) Infrastructure Resources (Databases, computational Grid, services). (3) Web-services (web-accessible resources for processing, validation and exploration of multimodal/multichannel data including clinical data, imaging data, genetics data and phenotypic data). The CCB develops novel mathematical, computational, and engineering approaches to map biological form and function in health and disease. CCB computational tools integrate neuroimaging, genetic, clinical, and other relevant data to enable the detailed exploration of distinct spatial and temporal biological characteristics. Generalizable mathematical approaches are developed and deployed using Grid computing to create practical biological atlases that describe spatiotemporal change in biological systems. The efforts of CCB make possible discovery-oriented science and the accumulation of new biological knowledge. The Center has been divided into cores organized as follows: - Core 1 is focused on mathematical and computational research. Core 2 is involved in the development of tools to be used by Core 3. Core 3 is composed of the driving biological projects; Mapping Genomic Function, Mapping Biological Structure, and Mapping Brain Phenotype. - Cores 4 - 7 provide the infrastructure for joint structure within the Center as well as the development of new approaches and procedures to augment the research and development of Cores 1-3. These cores are: (4)Infrastructure and Resources, (5) Education and Training, (6) Dissemination, and (7) Administration and Management. The main focus of the CCB is on the brain, and specifically on neuroimaging. This area has a long tradition of sophisticated mathematical and computational techniques. Nevertheless, new developments in related areas of mathematics and computational science have emerged in recent years, some from related application areas such as Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and Image Processing, as well as from Computational Mathematics and the Computational Sciences. We are confident that many of these ideas can be applied beneficially to neuroimaging.

Software package that performs high-dimensional warping of brain images. Standard voxel-based analysis can be applied to these tissue density maps, in order to examine regional volumetrics, effects of disease, or correlations with clinical measurements. In order to make HAMMER as robust as possible to different acquisition protocols and conditions, they provide a distribution that assumes that images have been skull-stripped and segmented into gray matter, white matter, and ventricular CSF. We have other software tools that can perform these steps, including skull stripping, reorientation and reslicing, and segmentation tools. Importantly, they use 250 for WM, 150 for GM, 50 for Ventricles and 10 for CSF in the tissue-segmented brain images. Current modules used for group analysis: Labeling subject brain using a manually-labeled brain Model; Generating RAVENS map for each tissue (WM, GM, VN); Normalizing subject brain images

http://www.math.mcgill.ca/keith/fmristat/

A Matlab toolbox for the statistical analysis of fMRI data. The fMRI data was first converted to percentage of whole volume. The statistical analysis of the percentages was based on a linear model with correlated errors. The design matrix of the linear model was first convolved with a hemodynamic response function modelled as a difference of two gamma functions timed to coincide with the acquisition of each slice. Temporal drift was removed by adding a cubic spline in the frame times to the design matrix (one covariate per 2 minutes of scan time), and spatial drift was removed by adding a covariate in the whole volume average. The correlation structure was modelled as an autoregressive process of degree 1. At each voxel, the autocorrelation parameter was estimated from the least squares residuals using the Yule-Walker equations, after a bias correction for correlations induced by the linear model. The autocorrelation parameter was first regularized by spatial smoothing, then used to "whiten" the data and the design matrix. The linear model was then re-estimated using least squares on the whitened data to produce estimates of effects and their standard errors. In a second step, runs, sessions and subjects were combined using a mixed effects linear model for the effects (as data) with fixed effects standard deviations taken from the previous analysis. This was fitted using ReML implemented by the EM algorithm. A random effects analysis was performed by first estimating the the ratio of the random effects variance to the fixed effects variance, then regularizing this ratio by spatial smoothing with a Gaussian filter. The variance of the effect was then estimated by the smoothed ratio multiplied by the fixed effects variance. The amount of smoothing was chosen to achieve 100 effective degrees of freedom. The resulting T statistic images were thresholded using the minimum given by a Bonferroni correction and random field theory, taking into account the non-isotropic spatial correlation of the errors.

This matlab script and associated files will take resultant statistical images and essentially output everything you could ever want to know. It can work off of images that were previously corrected for multiple comparisons, but it can actually do the correction itself. This is because the cluster_correct script is incorporated within. It will iterate through atlases (borrowed from other software) to tell you the location of significant results. It outputs an extremely detailed report as well as a summary table for quick investigation. In addition, it will output statistics for each surviving cluster, and the image as a whole. Feedback would be much appreciated.

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

A population-specific DTI template for young adolescent Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta) monkeys using 271 high-quality scans. Using such a large number of animals in generating a template allows it to account for variability in the species. Their DTI template is based on the largest number of animals ever used in generating a computational brain template. It is anticipated that their DTI template will help facilitate voxel-based and tract specific WM analyses in non-human primate species, which in turn may increase our understanding of brain function, development, and evolution.
