Computational and Network Modeling of Neuroimaging Data

Computational and Network Modeling of Neuroimaging Data provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the many diverse modeling approaches that have been fruitfully applied to neuroimaging data. As neuroimaging is witnessing a massive increase in the quality and quantity of data being acquired, this book gives an accessible foundation to the field of computational neuroimaging, suitable for graduate students, academic researchers, and industry practitioners who are interested in adopting or applying model-based approaches in neuroimaging.

It is widely recognized that effective interpretation and extraction of information from complex data requires quantitative modeling. However, modeling the brain comes in many diverse forms, with different research communities tackling different brain systems, different spatial and temporal scales, and different aspects of brain structure and function. This book takes a critical step towards synthesizing and integrating across different modeling approaches.

• Provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of major modeling approaches to neuroimaging data
• Written by experts, the book's chapters use a common structure to introduce, motivate, and describe a specific modeling approach used in neuroimaging
• Gives insights into the similarities and differences across different modeling approaches
• Analyses details of outstanding research challenges in the field
