Description
The massive amount of nonstandard high-dimensional brain imaging data being generated is often difficult to analyze using current techniques. This challenge in brain image analysis requires new computational approaches and solutions. But none of the research papers or books in the field describe the quantitative techniques with detailed illustratio
Reviews / Votes
"The writing style is pleasing and the book has the important virtue of using a consistent mathematical notation and terminology throughout the book, unlike collections of chapters from various authors that are usually published on this kind of topic. One important and interesting aspect of this book is the use of MATLAB code to illustrate the theory that the author is developing. In addition, the data mentioned in the text are provided so that the reader can experiment and learn using the same examples as the ones described in the book. This provides an excellent supplement and will appeal to students starting in the field as well as researchers wanting to refresh their knowledge or learn more about some aspects of brain analysis. ... a very good book to have in a lab, and it is a pleasure to recommend it."-Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics, 56(4), 2014
"... a great new reference text to the field of structural brain imaging. The presence of MATLAB code will make it easy for people to play around with the various data formats and more easily get involved in this exciting field. As a researcher already involved in neuroimaging data analysis, I have a feeling that this is a book I will return to often as a reference source, and I am happy to have it as part of my library."
-Martin A. Lindquist, Journal of the American Statistical Association, September 2014, Vol. 109

Person
Moo K. Chung, Ph.D. is an associate professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also affiliated with the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior. He has won the Vilas Associate Award for his applied topological research (persistent homology) to medical imaging and the Editor's Award for best paper published in Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. Dr. Chung received a Ph.D. in statistics from McGill University. His main research area is computational neuroanatomy, concentrating on the methodological development required for quantifying and contrasting anatomical shape variations in both normal and clinical populations at the macroscopic level using various mathematical, statistical, and computational techniques.
