A New Cortical Surface Parcellation Model and Its Automatic Implementation

In this paper, we present an original method that aims at parcellating the cortical surface in regions functionally meaningful, from individual anatomy. The parcellation is obtained using an anatomically constrained surface-based coordinate system from which we define a complete partition of the surface. The aim of our method is to exhibit a new way to describe the cortical surface organization, in both anatomical and functional terms. The method is described together with results applied to a functional somatotopy experiments.
