event-related potential
Time-locked EEG responses to specific stimuli or events, averaged across multiple trials to enhance signal-to-noise ratio.
anisotropy
Directional dependence of tissue properties, particularly in white matter tracts where water diffusion is restricted alo...
atlas registration
Process of aligning individual brain images to a standardized anatomical template or atlas.
electrocorticography
Invasive recording technique that places electrodes directly on the brain surface to measure electrical activity with hi...
graph theory metrics
Mathematical measures characterizing network topology and organization properties.
spike train
A temporal sequence of action potentials recorded from a single neuron or electrode. The pattern and timing of spikes en...
statistical parametric mapping
Voxel-wise statistical analysis framework for neuroimaging data that creates maps showing regions of significant activat...
streamline
A reconstructed pathway in tractography representing the probable course of white matter fiber bundles.
surface-based morphometry
Analytical approach that measures cortical properties like thickness, area, and curvature on reconstructed brain surface...
tractography
Neuroimaging technique that maps white matter fiber pathways in the brain.
