Proposed Project: Procedures

• exp1 Methodological Contributions to Corticometric Studies

  • exp1a Manual Registration of Infant Data
    • Fifty eight MRI acquisitions from children ranging in age from one month to five years of age (from the NIHPD Project) will be manually aligned by the following steps:
    • Designating a set of tag points then manually identifying them on each of the volumes,
    • Inter- and intra-rater reliability measurements of the manual tagging procedure,
    • inter-subject registration based on these tags to achieve initial registration
    • Automatic registration to Talairach space as a final registration step.
