Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in psychiatry use various tasks to identify case-control differences in the patterns of task-related brain activation. Differently activated regions are often ascribed disorder-specific functions in an attempt to link disease expression and brain function. We undertook a systematic meta-analysis of data from task-fMRI studies to examine the e...

In the first place a pure syntactic extension for the current SDL gates is presented enabling the definition of gate types and type based gates. In a further step this is extended by new conc...
