ABSTRACT:
Topological maps of receptor sheets have long been known
to characterize early stages of sensory processing in the brain.
But two-dimensional topological maps have turned up in many other
places. This talk summarizes recent advances in computational
methods for non-invasive cortical mapping in human brains, focussing
on cortical-surface-based functional, structural, and diffusion-based
neuroimaging methods originally introduced by my laboratory more than
two decades ago. We finish with a peek at the first complete surface
reconstruction of the exceptionally intricately folded cortex of the
human cerebellum.
