Multimodal Integration


The purpose of these tutorials are to get you acquainted with the concepts needed to perform multimodal integration in FreeSurfer by interacting with fMRI data. You will not learn how to perform fMRI analysis here; that knowledge is already assumed. This tutorial also does not assume any particular directory structure (as would happen in FS-FAST). This tutorial makes use of fMRI data from the Functional Biomedical Informatics Research Network (fBIRN, www.nbirn.net).

For Part 1 of the MultiModal tutorial, please complete the section on multimodal registration:

Multimodal Registration (slides, video)


For Part 2 of the MultiModal tutorial, please complete the sections on fMRI integration and group analysis:
*Remember: we are using fMRI data as an example here but you would follow the same steps for PET data, diffusion data, etc.

Multimodal integration can also be done using DTI data. This is demonstrated in the Diffusion tutorial:
*If you are taking these tutorials as part of an organized course, you are scheduled to work on the Diffusion tutorial at another time, after the Diffusion lectures.
