EvIdent: a functional magnetic resonance image analysis system

Artif Intell Med. 2001 Jan-Mar;21(1-3):263-9. doi: 10.1016/s0933-3657(00)00095-6.

Abstract

EvIdent (EVent IDENTification) is a user-friendly, algorithm-rich, exploratory data analysis software for quickly detecting, investigating, and visualizing novel events in a set of images as they evolve in time and/or frequency. For instance, in a series of functional magnetic resonance neuroimages, novelty may manifest itself as neural activations in a time course. The core of the system is an enhanced variant of the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. Fuzzy clustering obviates the need for models of the underlying requisite biological function, models that are often statistically suspect.
