ABSTRACT

A significant part of our research program has concentrated on the development of computerized algorithms for automated analysis of large ensembles of anatomical and functional data. These data arise from cohort studies where the number of subjects is counted in the hundreds, if not thousands. These tools are the result of our participation in the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM

) where the goal has been to address certain weaknesses associated with classical brain atlases (or atlantes). Such atlases are derived from a single brain, or brains from a small number of subjects.
