About the LONI Resource

Overview

The guiding mission of the LONI Resource is to improve our understanding of the brain in health and disease through the comprehensive and quantitative analysis of images of its structure and functions. Our goal is to develop tools, algorithms and approaches to achieve this mission, to enhance collaboration and dissemination of these solutions and to train investigators in their use. more »


Research Emphasis

The following four core research projects form a well-integrated program to characterize, measure and model both static and dynamic patterns of structural and functional changes in brain. Our research program is centered on the fundamental recognition that anatomy is not static.


Core Research Projects
Image Processing 

The Image Processing and Segmentation project is developing novel, well-validated approaches to brain image segmentation, structure analysis, and combined volume and surface registration.

 
Morphometry 

The Deformation Morphometry and Registration project is focused on creating a powerful approach to detect and analyze longitudinal changes in the living brain.

 
Atlasing 

The Atlasing project deals with the general problem of creating statistical maps of data from populations of subjects.

 
Informatics 

The scope of the Informatics Project is divided into three components: data management, processing workflow and visualization.
