Brain imaging for individuals and populations
I head the Analysis Group at the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging. We carry out research into new methodologies for the analysis of functional and structural brain imaging data. Our research is also turned into software tools that are available in the FSL package, which is free to all academic and non-profit institutions.
