<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>

* Individual regression with control points at shared locations
** Compare to previous results
** Compare differences between HD subjects and controls

<h3>Progress</h3>
* Working with James Fishbaugh we were able to apply the 4DShape Analysis to one of our studies and we got very nice movie and results. 
* We can still improve the visualization with acceleration and velocity vectors if we have a feedback for what is necessary for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
