Group analysis in functional neuroimaging: selecting subjects using similarity measures.

Standard group analyses of fMRI data rely on spatial and temporal averaging of individuals. This averaging operation is only sensible when the mean is a good representation of the group. This is not the case if subjects are not homogeneous, and it is therefore a major concern in fMRI studies to assess this group homogeneity. We present a method that provides relevant distances or similarity mea...

Neuroimaging Techniques for Brain Computer Interface

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is combination of hardware and software systems that allows the severely or partially disabled persons to communicate with their surroundings. The study of brain activities precisely is an important step in BCI system. Many invasive and non-invasive neuro-imaging techniques are being conducted. In this paper, a comparative analysis of these different approaches ha...

Neuroimaging techniques in modern forensic psychiatry.

Applied neuroscientific knowledge such as brain neuroimaging has widespread application in the medical diagnostic and treatment areas. Neuroscientific progress such as cognitive neuroscience has strong implications in specific medical fields such as forensic psychiatry. Significant progress in forensic psychiatry has affected the practice of law, in which an understanding of the complex relatio...
