Topic: FSL

With the advent of several different fMRI analysis tools and packages outside of the established ones (i.e., SPM, AFNI, and FSL), today's researcher may wonder what the best practices are for fMRI analysis. This talk will discuss some of the recent trends in neuroimaging, including design optimization and power analysis, standardized analysis pipelines such as fMRIPrep, and an overview of current recommendations for how to present neuroimaging results. Along the way we will discuss the balance between Type I and Type II errors with different correction mechanisms (e.g., Threshold-Free Cluster

Comparative neuroanatomy has been a challenging research field, even with the methodological innovations in recent years. In this context, cortical surface reconstructions emerged as a new venue to provide further insights on brain morphology, but they are mostly limited to humans and a few other primates, hindering a systematic understanding of diversity in brain anatomy across species.Here, we implemented an innovative pipeline, Stitcher (Mynssen et al., in preparation), to reconstruct the cortical surface of five lesser-known mammals belonging to four orders: Artiodactyla, Carnivora, Cetace
