Electrical Microstimulation and fMRI - Pr Nikos K. Logothetis - Lundi 26 Janvier à 11H00 - NeuroSpin
In order to speed-up and simplify the use of the data analysis methods developed by methodologists of the IFR, a federative sotfware environment called brainVISA has been designed (http://brainvisa.info).
This project born in 2000 is now one of the most complete analysis platform proposed in the field, covering MRI, PET, EEG, MEG and histological data. This platform allows the integration of heterogeneous sotfware and data into a unified framework. More than 50 methodologists inside and outside the IFR contribute.
BrainVISA is freely distributed for about 5 years and is now considered has one of the key neuroimaging analysis sotfware in the field.
BrainVISA software platform includes a powerful visualization software for multimodal data : Anatomist.
Several toolboxes have already been developed in various domains :
- Toolboxes included in BrainVISA
- T1 MRI : automatic segmentation of brain hemispheres and sulci from T1 MR images.
- Sulci : automatic sulci identification and object-based morphometry (Cachia, 2008).
- Cortical Surface : analysis of the cortical surface geometry and of functional data projected on this surface (Operto, 2008).
- Connectomist : Diffusion MR images analysis (DTI and Qball models) and fiber tracking.
- BrainRat : automated processing of histological and autoradiographic sections (A. Dubois, 2008).
- External toolboxes :
- fMRI : individual and group analysis of fMRI data.
- MEEG : visualization and analysis of MEG and EEG data (Barbot, 2005).
- nuclear imaging : PET images segmentation and analysis
- RIC : cortical measurements such as gyrification index or cortical thickness (Kochunov, 2005).
- Odyssee-BrainVISA add-ons : Inria tools for visualization and analysis of diffusion MRI data (Delmaire, 2009)
