| Abstract | Large amounts of neuroimaging studies are collected and have chan-
ged our view on human brain function. By integrating multiple studies in meta-
analysis a more complete picture is emerging. Brain locations are usually reported
as coordinates with reference to a specific brain atlas, thus some of the databases
offer so-called coordinate-based searching to the users (e.g. Brede, BrainMap).
For such search, the publications, which relate to the brain locations represented
by the user coordinates, are retrieved. We present BredeQuery – a plugin for the
widely used SPM data analytic pipeline. BredeQuery offers a direct link from
SPM to the Brede Database coordinate-based search engine. BredeQuery is able
to ‘grab’ brain location coordinates from the SPM windows and enter them as a
query for the Brede Database. Moreover, results of the query can be displayed in
a MATLAB window and/or exported directly to some popular bibliographic file
formats (BibTeX, Reference Manager, etc). |
