introduction: voxel based morphometry is a type of statistical parametric mapping that can be used to investigate the effect of diseases such as epilepsy, alzheimer's disease and parkinson's disease or other agent such as skills on brain structure (white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid). the aim of this study is evaluate the effectiveness of this method in detection of dif...

1. INTRODUCTION This chapter is about making regionally specific inferences in neuroimaging. These inferences may be about differences expressed when comparing one group of subjects to another or, within subjects, over a sequence of observations. They may pertain to structural differences (e.g. in voxel-based morphometry-Ashburner and Friston 2000) or neurophysiological indices of brain functio...
