Gabriele Lohmann, Karin Müller, Hans-Joachim Mentzel, Sven Hessler, Longhao Chen, DY von Cramon · 2001
This report describes the software system LIPSIA. LIPSIA was developed by the Max-Planck-Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, Leipzig, for the data processing and evaluation of functional magnetic resonance images. LIPSIA is non-commercial. The analysis of fMRI data comprises various aspects including filtering, spatial transformation, statistical evaluation as well as segmentation and visualization. All these aspects are covered by LIPSIA. In LIPSIA, particular emphasis was placed on the development of new visualization and segmentation techniques that support visualizations of individual brain anatomy so that experts can assess the exact location of activation patterns in individual brains. For the statistical evaluation, a number of well established and peer-reviewed algorithms were implemented in LIPSIA that allow an efficient and user-friendly processing of fMRI data sets. As the amount of data that must be handled is enourmous, an important aspect in the development LIPSIA was...
