| Other Comments/Similar Tools: | Since there is no function on NITRC to respond to Reviews, I am going address the review posted Dec 18, 2010 here.
For starters, the statement that SRI24 is based on MNI-ICBM is blatantly incorrect. How one would get that idea is beyond my understanding. The SRI24 atlas was created from scratch. It is indeed not compatible with MNI coordinates, but the problem is that MNI coordinates, referring to a multi-subject affine-aligned average, do not in general correspond to a well-defined anatomical location.
What SRI24 does different from MNI is that it provides a clear presentation of anatomy in most brain areas, rather than the fuzzy mess that is the MNI brain in the cortical regions. Our delineations may have errors, but the only reason you can even see these errors is because the atlas itself actually shows the structures. So at least you have a fighting chance to outline things in the right place. |
