Particles on an inflated cortex - the color map shows the local sulcal depth measurements


Key Investigators

  • UNC: Ipek Oguz, Martin Styner
  • Utah: Josh Cates, Tom Fletcher, Ross Whitaker

Objective

We are working on a general framework for computing cortical correspondence in a population-based manner. This project is extending the entropy based particle system by letting the correspondence optimization driven by local measurements besides the spatial location of surface points.

The goal for the project week is to incorporate probabilistic connectivity maps computed from DTI images.

See our Project Page for more details.

Approach, Plan

Our approach is described by the references below. The main objective for this project week is to compute probabilistic connectivity maps from DTI images in a format that can be used in our entropy based particle framework. We also want to evaluate the resulting correspondence maps using fMRI data.
