This study outlines tools for analyzing and visualizing human brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. It highlights the need for community cooperation in developing comprehensive fMRI software standards.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) generates complex 3D datasets requiring specialized tools for analysis and visualization.
  • Current fMRI toolsets often lack comprehensive features, hindering efficient research.
  • Standardization is crucial for integrating and comparing data across studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline essential tools for processing and visualizing 3D human brain fMRI results.
  • To evaluate existing fMRI software against ideal features for a useful and extensible toolset.
  • To propose community-driven strategies for developing standardized fMRI software.

Main Methods:

  • Review and categorization of fMRI processing steps: data storage, interactive/batch operations, visualization, spatial normalization, functional activation analysis, data integration, and interface standards.
