چکیده

We present a novel approach to creating flat maps of the brain. Our approach attempts to preserve the conformal structure between the original cortical surface in 3-space and the flattened surface. We demonstrate this with data from the human cerebellum. Our maps exhibit quasiconformal behavior and offer several advantages over existing approaches.

On Quasi Conformally Flat LP-Sasakian Manifolds with a Coefficient α

The aim of the present paper is to study properties of Quasi conformally flat LP-Sasakian manifolds with a coefficient α. In this paper, we prove that a Quasi conformally flat LP-Sasakian manifold M (n > 3) with a constant coefficient α is an η−Einstein and in a quasi conformally flat LP-Sasakian manifold M (n > 3) with a constant coefficient α if the scalar curvature tensor is constant then M ...

On a Class of Generalized Sasakian-space-forms

The object of the present paper is to study quasi-conformally flat generalized Sasakian-space-forms. Also we study quasi-conformally semisymmetric generalized Sasakian-space-forms. As a consequence of the results, we obtain some important corollaries.

In this paper we prove that every Riemannian metric on a locally conformally flat manifold with umbilic boundary can be conformally deformed to a scalr flat metric having constant mean curvature. This result can be seen as a generalization to higher dimensions of the well known Riemann mapping Theorem in the plane.

Cerebellar Isolation, Parcellation, and Conformal Surface Mapping

The topographic organization of motor, sensory and cognitive functions in the human cerebellum is poorly understood, and, owing to its anatomical organization, most of the folial surface is hidden from view. In order to facilitate surface-based analysis of functional activation within the cerebellar cortex, we constructed a "pipeline" for extracting, labelling and conformally mapping the cortic...

Cerebellar Isolation, Parcellation, and Conformal Mapping

Why map the cerebellar surface? Because: (i) organization of motor, sensory and cognitive functions in the human cerebellum is poorly understood [1], (ii) the highly-folded structure conceals most of the cortical surface, and (iii) functional data analysis may improve with incorporation of surface organization [2]. We constructed a pipeline for extracting, labelling, and conformally mapping cer...
