This project focuses on the development of fMRI data analysis tools for neurosurgical and neuroscientific applications. We aim to improve basic detection and modeling capabilities and enhance the exploitation of fMRI activation data by coordinating it with atlases and intra-operative electrocorticography (EC). This work includes the development of algorithms for image processing and registration, modeling techniques, and mechanisms for comparison of intraoperative EC data, as well as the creation of a computational atlas of anatomy and function.
