HiBoP

Data recorded with intracerebral EEG (iEEG) electrodes in patients are notoriously hard to navigate through and synthetize, because of the high spatial variability and sparsity of the recordings. The HiBoP software is the first of its kind to allow conveniently the visualization and manipulation of multimodal data (iEEG, as well as fMRI, PET …) both at the individual level and at the group level (up to 200 and more).

3DSpineS

Dendritic spines of pyramidal neurons are the targets of most excitatory synapses in the cerebral cortex and their morphology appears to be critical from the functional point of view. Thus, characterizing this morphology is necessary to link structural and functional spine data and thus interpret and make them more meaningful. We have used a large database of more than 7,000 individually 3D reconstructed dendritic spines from human cortical pyramidal neurons that is first transformed into a set of 54 quantitative features characterizing spine geometry mathematically. The resulting data set is grouped into spine clusters based on a probabilistic model with Gaussian finite mixtures. We uncover six groups of spines whose discriminative characteristics are identified with machine learning methods as a set of rules. The clustering model allows us to simulate accurate spines from human pyramidal neurons to suggest new hypotheses of the functional organization of these cells.

3D Structure Tensor Analysis

A Structure Tensor Analysis (STA) tool for the characterization of local 3D orientation in TIFF image stacks. This tool is based on the evaluation of local image intensity gradients. In addition to the local 3D orientation, it also provides a full analysis of local gradient strength, structure disarray, shape and fractional anisotropy indices.
