Corpus Callosum Topography Based on dMRI

State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning, Dr. Gaolang Gong

• Developed a track-generating and filtering pipeline using Mrtrix3. Obtained fibers passing through the corpus callosum and connecting left and right hemispheres.
• Generated individual corpus callosum topography based on HCP S1200 Database, and established group-averaged validated topographic maps with different weighting methods.
• Designed a Web-based tool-CCmapping to provide full and interactive access to the topographic result using Three.js, WebGL, and Node.js.

ccmapping

• a Web-based tool to visualize the topographic result of corpus callosum.

• IMPRS stipends (monthly funding for IMPRS 5-Year MSc/PhD program)
