ABSTRACT
Functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI] has become the most popular method for imaging of brain functions. Currently, there is a large variety of software packages for the analysis of fMRI data, each providing many features for users. Since there is no single package that can provide all the necessary analyses for the fMRI data, it is helpful to know the features of each software package. In this paper, several software tools have been introduced and they have been evaluated for comparison of their functionality and their features. The description of each program has been discussed and summarized
ABSTRACT
Functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI] is a safe and non-invasive way to assess brain functions by using signal changes associated with brain activity. The technique has become a ubiquitous tool in basic, clinical and cognitive neuroscience. This method can measure little metabolism changes that occur i active part of the brain. We process the fMRI data to be able to find the parts o brain that are involve in a mechanism, or to determine the changes that occur in brain activities due to a brain lesion. In this study we will have an overview over the methods that are used for the analysis of fMRI data
