The brainhack meetings are collaborative workshops designed for the open neuroscience community, as recently introduced in Craddock et al. (GigaScience 2016 5:16). This document is a step-by-step g...
Read ItWhen starting out in a new imaging field like diffusion tensor imaging it is easy to be overwhelmed by different processing steps and tools. A recent publication from Frontiers in Neuroscience tr...
Read ItIt is unfortunately not common practice in diffusion imaging research to report on observed head motion of the participants in the scanner. Even though head motion can significantly influence study...
Read ItWhen working with diffusion tensor images (DTI) it is important to understand what is being measured. If you would like to learn more about how the diffusion tensor relates to FA, MD, AD and RD, yo...
Read ItIn DTI 101 we described how diffusion tensor imaging estimates brain microstructure by modeling diffusion of water in the brain. We briefly discuss that this is done by using ellipsoid or ball shap...
Read ItFiber tractography is a very elegant method that can be used to delineate individual fiber tracts from diffusion images. This tutorial will help you in a step-by-step way trough the process. In...
Read ItIn our first tutorial we processed our raw images and calculated tensor images. In this second tutorial we will address how to normalize a set of diffusion tensor images (DTI) and then run statisti...
Read ItStarting out with data analysis often seems like a daunting task, as there are innumerable software packages with sometimes poor documentation. To make this process easier and help you get started ...

I present a checklist of acquisition parameters for inclusion in the methods section of an fMRI paper. The current list expands and updates the list that was given in the 2008 paper from Poldrack e...
Read ItThis is a journal-club style review of the paper “Stimulus dependence of local field potential spectra: experiment versus theory” by Barbieri et al. (2014).
Read ItA recent conversation on Twitter led to the suggestion that someone compile a list of physiological effects of concern for BOLD. That is, a list of potentially confounding physiological changes tha...
