EvIdentTM: a Java-based fMRI data analysis application
نویسندگان
چکیده
EvIdentTM (EVent IDENTification) is a user-friendly, algorithm-rich, graphical environment for detecting, investigating, and visualizing novelty in a set of images. Novelty is identified for a region of interest and its associated characteristics. For functional magnetic resonance imaging, for instance, a characteristic of the region of interest is a time course, which represents the intensity value of voxels over several discrete instances in time. Originally developed for a platform-specific environment using proprietary technology, a new incarnation of EvIdent has been designed using an application programming interface called VIStATM (VISualization Through Analysis). VIStA is written in JavaTM and offers a sophisticated generalized data model, an extensible algorithm framework, and a suite of graphical user interface constructs. This paper describes EvIdent and some of its features, the rationale behind the design of VIStA, and the motivations and challenges of scientific programming using Java.

Introduction: Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a rare inflammatory disease of the central nervous system which generally affecting the spinal cord and optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve can result in the patient's dim vision or even blindness, while the spinal cord damage may lead to sensory and motor paralysis and the weakness of the lower limbs in the patient. Magnetic Reson...

متن کاملFeature selection using genetic algorithm for classification of schizophrenia using fMRI data
In this paper we propose a new method for classification of subjects into schizophrenia and control groups using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. In the preprocessing step, the number of fMRI time points is reduced using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, independent component analysis (ICA) is used for further data analysis. It estimates independent components (ICs) of...
