Final Report Summary - F-TRACT (Functional Brain Tractography)
In the F-TRACT project, we have created an international clinical consortium, composed of 23 epilepsy surgery centres, to gather these rare data and have developed the largest DES database by including more than 1100 patient data. We have published the functional tractography F-TRACT atlas, which provides new information on the directionality, latency and velocity of neural signals along the large fiber tracts of the human brain. Beyond developing this new atlas, we have developed a suite of software solutions including the methodological innovations required by project's scientific objectives, which can now be re-used for research in epilepsy surgery. Both the atlas and softwares are publicly accessible from the website of the project (f-tract.eu).
Knowledge and methodological transfer has already been initiated with the European Flagship Human Brain Project, to achieve re-usability of the outputs of F-TRACT by the neuroscientific community at a larger scale in a multimodal context.
