Neurovault statistical maps

Notes

Neurovault is a public repository of unthresholded statistical maps, parcellations, and atlases of the human brain. You can read about it and browse the images it contains at www.neurovault.org.

It is also possible to ask Neurosynth to annotate the maps found on Neurovault. Neurosynth is a platform for large-scale, automated synthesis of fMRI data. It can be used to perform decoding. You can find out more about Neurosynth at www.neurosynth.org.

For more information, see Gorgolewski et al.[1], and Yarkoni et al.[2].
