VAE on tractography
by Alex Crimi Jan. 28, 2025

Jan. 28, 2025

Dear all, I am working on some generative model for tractography (either GAN or VAE).Originally I thought to encode from each voxel the tensor, then I have been readingthe Yixue Fenga and Bramsh Q. Chandio paper with VAE generting synthetic tractography. e.g. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.24.529954v3.full.pdf I also tried to decompose the FINTA, GESTA... though their library has become quite complex to study. What is still unclear to me. Is what kind of data you pass in the first layer (not what you have in the latent space). Independently whether it is a tract or a bundle, it seems you pass entire streamline (I assume as a series of x,y,z points) not individual tensors from individual voxels. Am I right? Can someone clarify this aspect? Thanks Best,Alex

Dear DiPy community, I am a postdoc at Cook Children's Medical Center and I am using DiPy to study structural connectivity in children with Cerebral Palsy. I am writing to ask whether it would be possible for me to have access to the recordings of the 2023 workshop. Best regards, Yannis ______________________________________________________ Ioannis Ntoumanis, PhD Postdoctoral Research Associate, Jane and John Justin Neurosciences Center, Cook Children's Health Care System 1500 Cooper St, 4th floor Fort Worth, 76104 TX Tel.: 682-885-2943, +1 817 891 2973 Email: Ioannis.Ntoumanis(a)uta.edu, Ioannis.Ntoumanis(a)cookchildrens.org

** *We are thrilled to officially announce the launch of the International Society for Tractography (IST) <http://www.tractography.io>. Our goal is to facilitate fundamental advances in the field of tractography that are only possible via an interactive community dedicated to sharing a broad range of talent and knowledge. This includes planning engaging events such as webinars, educational workshops, and conferences, as well as promoting large-scale collaborations across institutions and international borders. * * It’s now time to sign up and become a member <http://www.tractography.io/become_a_member/>. The first year (July 1st 2024 - June 30th 2025), membership will be free! Exciting things to watch out for: * Our new website [www.tractography.io <http://www.tractography.io>] * IST is on X <https://x.com/tractography>[@tractography] and LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-society-for-tractography/> * TheTract-Anat Club <http://www.tractography.io/tractanat_club/>with recordings posted on our YouTube channel <https://www.youtube.com/@SocietyTractography>. * A dedicated collection "Neuroanatomy and Tractography" in Brain and Structure Function <https://link.springer.com/collections/jfccijhacc> * And more to come (2025 conference in Bordeaux, France) Looking forward to interacting! On behalf of the board of directors and scientific committee Maxime Descoteaux, Flavio Dell’Acqua, Kathleen Rockland, Catherine Lebel, Derek Jones, Lauren O’Donnell, Ariel Rokem, Pratik Mukherjee, Shawna Farquharson, Alexander Leemans, Graham Little, and Laurent Petit *
