| Summary: | This paper presents BrainNetVis, a tool which serves brain network modelling
and visualization, by providing both quantitative and qualitative network measures
of brain interconnectivity. It emphasizes the needs that led to the creation of this
tool by presenting similar works in the field and by describing how our tool contributes
to the existing scenery. It also describes the methods used for the calculation
of the graph metrics (global network metrics and vertex metrics), which carry
the brain network information. To make the methods clear and understandable, we
use an exemplar dataset throughout the paper, on which the calculations and the
visualizations are performed. This dataset consists of an alcoholic and a control
group of subjects. |
