"Mapping the Filipino Mind. Advancing Brain Science."
Neuromap-Ph is a strategic partnership between the St. Luke’s Medical Center (SLMC) and Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
The initiative aims to support clinical diagnosis and scientific research by utilizing imaging data in combination with other health markers, while simultaneously establishing a national brain scan repository that will serve as a centralized resource for advancing neuroscience and medical practice in the Philippines.
Image processing and analyses are predominantly conducted using MATLAB and Python. External plugins, including SPM25 and CAT12, facilitate the preprocessing of sMRI, fMRI, and PET images. The preprocessing pipeline encompasses segmentation, slice timing correction, motion correction, coregistration, normalization, and smoothing. FSL, a Python-based library, assists in the preprocessing and analysis of dMRI and fMRI. Additionally, MRIcron is employed for image visualization and comparison.
Preprocessing
In this stage, images are processed for motion correction, denoising, smoothing, modulation, and alignment between modalities
After preprocessing, we may now proceed to different statistical analysis.
Fusion of different modalities is beneficial to better correlate between the results of the various analyses
