BRAIN IMAGING and SURFACE MODELING with FUNCTIONAL MRI |
 My pre-dissertation work in the field of functional brain imaging was with the
Laboratory of Brain and Cognition, at the National Institutes of
Health. There I was involved in the acquisition and ana lysis of
functional MRI (fMRI) data, and in the development of a method for
cortical survace averaging across subjects.
Typical averaging methods distort the brain, either to a standard
volume or a standard cortical pattern. In contrast to this, our method
simply imposes a standardized mesh onto the surface of the brain.
Averaging is then performed by mesh index, without distortion and
within the original space of the brain [1]. |
