Since 1995 we have been investigating the localization of the cortical motor strip by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in central brain tumor cases. Forty patients have been operated on using these data for preoperative planning. Intraoperative sensory evoked potentials (SEP) and cortica

Abstract
To assess the effect of stimulus correlated motion on the appearance of functional magnetic resonance images, conventional visual and motor protocols were each performed by four normal volunteers and an image coβregistration technique was used to retrospectively monitor subject motion. In three studies synthetic data sets were constructed from single baseline images using the positional information obtained from the coβregistration procedure. Cumulative difference images were then created from both the synthetic and functional image sets. Stimulus correlated motion was detected in all eight studies and the synthetic cumulative difference images showed striking similarities to the equivalent functional images in each case.

Recently, we presented a method (the CS method) for estimating the probability distributions of the sizes of supra threshold clusters in functional brain images [Ledberg A, Γ kerman S, Roland PE. 1998. Estimating the significance of 3D clusters in functional brain images. NeuroImage 8:113-128]. In th
Low signal-to-noise ratio is the fundamental limit of rurrent voxel-based strategies for detecting activations in functional brain maps. We propose some new techniques to enhance detection sensitivity in the analysis of brain activation maps. These new techniques are: 1) a multi-filtering strategy;
