Citing images in your writings

I often have questions how to cite images from different sources (not to mention there tons of formatting!)

Here's a good summary about image citation

and the article also referred to 

Lee, C. (2016, January 26). Navigating copyright for reproduced images: Part 4. Writing the copyright statement [Blog post]. Retrieved from http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2016/01/navigating-copyright-part-4.html

Hope this helps everyone else too!

Medical Imaging in Malaysia

I don't know how long will I still be doing my doctoral study, but I'm looking forward to pursue the same interest in medical imaging when I go back to my home country. So I googled a bit on places that have such researches/work.

More to explore. But I can see more research is expanding in Malaysia, which is exciting! :)

fMRI coordinate spaces

While there are so many coordinates that people are using in fMRI world, not many atlases have the same coordinates (well, of course, different images have different sizes).

Some of the common coordinates that are being used to using atlases are the MNI and Talairach coordinates. There are as well about icbm, which I have yet to explore.

Here are some of the resources to the information:

Some softwares that can be used to convert your image  into these coordinates:

• FSL: They have two different methods - FLIRT and FNIRT
• SPM: https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/spm12/

Matlab conversion functions:

and more if you search it on the internet (which I will add more if I found best ones)

Hope this is a helpful compilations. I'm still having trouble understanding (or probably don't have time to think about it) the best rotation matrix, affine transformation for these fMRI data. Hopefully at least this works and get my data better results. :)
