COORDINATE-BASED META-ANALYTIC SEARCH FOR THE SPM NEUROIMAGING PIPELINE - The BredeQuery plugin for SPM5 |
| | Abstract | Large amounts of neuroimaging studies are collected and have changed 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. In this paper we present
BredeQuery - a plugin for the widely used SPM5 data analytic pipeline. BredeQuery offers a direct link from
SPM5 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 an SPM window and/or exported directly to some popular bibliographic file
formats (BibTeX, Reference Manager, etc). | | Keywords | SPM, fMRI, PET, neuroinformatics, Talairach, MNI, brain region, brain function, brain activity, article re- trieval, coordinate-based search, bibtex, Brede Database, ontology | | Type | Conference paper [With referee] | | Conference | HEALTHINF 2009 | | Editors | Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Health Informatics | | Year | 2009 Month January pp. 11-17 | | Publisher | INSTICC Press | | ISBN / ISSN | 978-989-8111-63-0 | | Electronic version(s) | [pdf] | | Publication link | http://www.healthinf.org | | BibTeX data | [bibtex] | | IMM Group(s) | Intelligent Signal Processing |
