[Justine Hansen] NeuroMaps ToolBox Workshop

NeuroMaps ToolBox Workshop
April 21, 2023

Speaker: Justine Hansen, Montreal Neurological Institute

NeuroMaps is a collaboration with researchers from The Neuro, the University of Pennsylvania, the Douglas Research Centre, and the National Institute of Mental Health. It brings together more than forty existing brain maps in one place to help scientists find correlations between patterns across different brain regions, spatial scales, modalities, and brain functions. It provides a standardized space to view each map in comparison to each other, and assesses the statistical significance of these comparisons, to help researchers distinguish meaningful correlations. This compiled dataset was made publicly available, as well as the software required to replicate these analyses. Since publishing NeuroMaps in Nature Methods the paper has been downloaded more than 2,100 times and its Twitter thread shared more than 100 times.

Justine Hansen is introduced by Dr. Randy McIntosh, Professor at SFU,
BC Leadership Chair in Neuroscience and Technology Transfer Across the Lifespan and Director at Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology.
