ABSTRACT
e brain activity during perception or cognition is mostly examined by func-
tional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). However, the cause of the detect-
ed activity relies on the anatomy. Diusion tensor magnetic resonance im-
aging (DTMRI) as a noninvasive modality providing in vivo anatomical
information allows determining neural ber connections which leads to brain
mapping. Still a complete map of ber paths representing the human brain is
missing in literature. One of the main drawbacks of reliable ber mapping is
the correct detection of the orientation of multiple bers within a single im-
aging voxel. In this study a method ...
