Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the standard technology in human brain mapping. Analyses of the massive spatio-temporal fMRI data sets often focus on parametric or nonparametric modeling of the temporal component, while spatial smoothing is based on Gaussian kernels or...

"The objective of this book is to make a link between existing quantitative approaches... and the manner in which we can generalize thess approaches to cases where the available data for analysis have a spatial dimension."--
