Applications of Random Fields in Human Brain Mapping
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this short article is to summarize how random field theory has been used to test for activations in brain mapping applications. It is intended to be a general discussion and hence it is not very specific to individual applications. Tables of most widely used random fields, examples of their applications, as well as references to distributions of some of their relevant statistics are provided. excursion set; random fields; image analysis. ams 1991 subject classification: primary 60G15 Postal address: 1 Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, 700 Mountain Avenue, Room 2C-260, Murray Hill, NJ 07974-2070, 2 Department of Mathematics and Statistics, McGill University, 805 Sherbrooke St. West, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A2K6.

Adaptive Gaussian Markov Random Fields with Applications in Human Brain Mapping
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the standard technology in human brain mapping. Analyses of the massive spatio–temporal fMRI data sets often focus on parametric or nonparametric modeling of the temporal component, while spatial smoothing is based on Gaussian kernels or random fields. A weakness of Gaussian spatial smoothing is underestimation of activation peaks or blurr...
متن کاملBrain mapping in Neurosurgical oncology
After the introduction of MRI, new modalities facilitated the procedure of surgical planning to achieve the microsurgical goal and improve prognosis and quality of life in patients. Despite the variable applications of preoperative and intraoperative mapping and monitoring systems, several limitations and concerns are reported for every modality as well. In this issue of the IrJNS, we are delig...
متن کاملRandom Vortex Method for Geometries with Unsolvable Schwarz-Christoffel Formula
In this research we have implemented the Random Vortex Method to calculate velocity fields of fluids inside open cavities in both turbulent and laminar flows. the Random Vortex Method is a CFD method (in both turbulent and laminar fields) which needs the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation formula to map the physical geometry into the upper half plane. In some complex geometries like the flow in...
متن کاملComparison of Two Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Measurement Methods Used For Anatomical Localization of the Iron-Incorporated Deep Brain Nuclei
Introduction Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images produced by the QSM enable researchers and clinicians to easily localize specific structures of the brain, such as deep brain nuclei. These nuclei are targets in many clinical applications and therefore their easy localization is a must. In this study, we aimed to i...
متن کاملDetecting sparse signals in random fields, with an application to brain mapping
Brain mapping data have been modeled as Gaussian random fields, and local increases in mean are detected by local maxima of a random field of test statistics derived from this data. Accurate P-values for local maxima are readily available for isotropic data based on the expected Euler characteristic of the excursion set of the test statistic random field. In this paper we give a simple method f...
