"Scientists Develop New Brain Template"

Researchers at Dartmouth College have developed "OpenNeuro Average" (onavg), a new cortical surface template based on 1,031 brains that improves the accuracy and efficiency of neuroimaging data analysis. This template provides a more uniform and less biased map, requiring less data for accurate analysis, which is beneficial for studies with limited datasets. The onavg template is expected to have broad applications in cognitive and clinical neuroscience, including research on vision, language, and neurodegenerative diseases.
