9 FEB 2015: DKI-TRACTOGRAPHY PAPER
Our paper on "Exploring the 3D geometry of the diffusion kurtosis tensor—Impact on the development of robust tractography procedures and novel biomarkers" by Rafael Neto Henriques, Marta Morgado Correia, Rita Gouveia Nunes and Hugo Alexandre Ferreira, has just been published online in Neuroimage!
25 MAY 2015: GOOGLE SUMMER OF CODE
Rafael Neto Henriques, our collaborator and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) genius, is starting today the Google Summer of Code for implementing DKI in Dipy (Diffusion Imaging in Python).
Stay tuned for Rafael's Blog.
10 JULY 2015: LEAP MOTION BLOG
Our work on the "Brain Connectivity Leap", a virtual reality app in which we can navigate using hand gesture recognition technology was feature in LEAP MOTION blog!
Filipe Rodrigues, Ricardo Ribeiro, and
Hugo Alexandre Ferreira
14 JULY 2015: PEERJ COVER
We made the "cover" of PeerJ with our work "Multimodal Imaging Brain Connectivity Analysis (MIBCA) toolbox". Attention, this is not the traditional cover, as the publication if fully digital. We are nonetheless quite happy!
André Santos Ribeiro, Luís Miguel Lacerda, and Hugo Alexandre Ferreira
11 NOV 2014: CROWDPROCESS BLOG
Our work on the study of "Diffusion kurtosis imaging using Monte-Carlo simulations" was featured in the CrowdProcess blog. Using CrowdProcess's HTML distributed computing platform we were able to speed our research 150-fold!
