A project which contains data and analysis pipelines for a set of 53 subjects in a cross-sectional Parkinsons disease (PD) study. The dataset contains diffusion-weighted images (DWI) of 27 PD patients and 26 age, sex, and education-matched control subjects. The DWIs were acquired with 120 unique gradient directions, b=1000 and b=2500 s/mm2, and isotropic 2.4 mm3 voxels. The acquisition used a twice-refocused spin echo sequence in order to avoid distortions induced by eddy currents.

Freely available corpus of manually annotated brain region mentions created to facilitate text mining of neuroscience literature. The corpus contains 1,377 abstracts with 18,242 brain region annotations. Interannotator agreement was evaluated for a subset of the documents, and was 90.7% and 96.7% for strict and lenient matching respectively. We observed a large vocabulary of over 6,000 unique brain region terms and 17,000 words. For automatic extraction of brain region mentions we evaluated simple dictionary methods and complex natural language processing techniques. The dictionary methods based on neuroanatomical lexicons recalled 36% of the mentions with 57% precision. The best performance was achieved using a conditional random field (CRF) with a rich feature set. Features were based on morphological, lexical, syntactic and contextual information. The CRF recalled 76% of mentions at 81% precision, by counting partial matches recall and precision increase to 86% and 92% respectively. We suspect a large amount of error is due to coordinating conjunctions, previously unseen words and brain regions of less commonly studied organisms. We found context windows, lemmatization and abbreviation expansion to be the most informative techniques. We encourage you to test new methods and applications of the dataset. Please contact us if you do, we would like to hear about and link to your work. The abstracts are from PubMed/Medline, specifically The Journal of Comparative Neurology.

http://www.pymvpa.org

A Python package intended to ease statistical learning analyses of large datasets. It offers an extensible framework with a high-level interface to a broad range of algorithms for classification, regression, feature selection, data import and export. While it is not limited to the neuroimaging domain, it is eminently suited for such datasets. PyMVPA is truly free software (in every respect) and additionally requires nothing but free-software to run. Decoding patterns of neural activity onto cognitive states is one of the central goals of functional brain imaging. Standard univariate fMRI analysis methods, which correlate cognitive and perceptual function with the blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) signal, have proven successful in identifying anatomical regions based on signal increases during cognitive and perceptual tasks. Recently, researchers have begun to explore new multivariate techniques that have proven to be more flexible, more reliable, and more sensitive than standard univariate analysis. Drawing on the field of statistical learning theory, these new classifier-based analysis techniques possess explanatory power that could provide new insights into the functional properties of the brain. However, unlike the wealth of software packages for univariate analyses, there are few packages that facilitate multivariate pattern classification analyses of fMRI data. This Python-based, cross-platform, open-source software toolbox software toolbox for the application of classifier-based analysis techniques to fMRI datasets makes use of Python's ability to access libraries written in a large variety of programming languages and computing environments to interface with the wealth of existing machine learning packages.

Coordinated and targeted service, training, and research to speed the development and enhance the utility of informatics tools related to neuroimaging. The initial focus will be on tools that are used in fMRI. If NIfTI proves useful in addressing informatics issues in the fMRI research community, it may be expanded to address similar issues in other areas of neuroimaging. Objectives of NIfTI * Enhancement of existing informatics tools used widely in neuroimaging research * Dissemination of neuroimaging informatics tools and information about them * Community-based approaches to solving common problems, such as lack of interoperability of tools and data * Unique training activities and research career development opportunities to those in the tool-user and tool-developer communities * Research and development of the next generation of neuroimaging informatics tools
