Representational similarity analysis – connecting the branches of systems neuroscience

Nikolaus Kriegeskorte · 1 Jan 2008

A FUNDAMENTAL CHALLENGE FOR SYSTEMS NEUROSCIENCE IS TO QUANTITATIVELY RELATE ITS THREE MAJOR BRANCHES OF RESEARCH: brain-activity measurement, behavioral measurement, and computational modeling. Using measured brain-activity patterns to evaluate computational network models is complicated by the need to define the correspondency between the units of the model and the channels of the brain-activity data, e.g.,…

DPARSF: a MATLAB toolbox for “pipeline” data analysis of resting-state fMRI

Chao‐Gan Yan · 1 Jan 2010

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has attracted more and more attention because of its effectiveness, simplicity and non-invasiveness in exploration of the intrinsic functional architecture of the human brain. However, user-friendly toolbox for "pipeline" data analysis of resting-state fMRI is still lacking. Based on some functions in Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) and Resting-State fMRI…

A Tutorial Review of Functional Connectivity Analysis Methods and Their Interpretational Pitfalls

André M. Bastos, Jan‐Mathijs Schoffelen · 8 Jan 2016

Oscillatory neuronal activity may provide a mechanism for dynamic network coordination. Rhythmic neuronal interactions can be quantified using multiple metrics, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. This tutorial will review and summarize current analysis methods used in the field of invasive and non-invasive electrophysiology to study the dynamic connections between neuronal populations. First, we…

A Baseline for the Multivariate Comparison of Resting-State Networks

Elena A. Allen, Erik B. Erhardt, Eswar Damaraju et al. · 1 Jan 2011

As the size of functional and structural MRI datasets expands, it becomes increasingly important to establish a baseline from which diagnostic relevance may be determined, a processing strategy that efficiently prepares data for analysis, and a statistical approach that identifies important effects in a manner that is both robust and reproducible. In this paper, we…

Clinical applications of resting state functional connectivity

Michael Fox · 1 Jan 2010

During resting conditions the brain remains functionally and metabolically active. One manifestation of this activity that has become an important research tool is spontaneous fluctuations in the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The identification of correlation patterns in these spontaneous fluctuations has been termed resting state functional connectivity (fcMRI)…

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Frontiers format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience use?
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience?
No. DocuGuru generates the FrontiersinHarvard LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Frontiers-ready Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience?
Frontiers journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by Frontiers.
Can I export a submission-ready Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience template (the FrontiersinHarvard class) that is ready to submit to Frontiers, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience template cost?
You can start writing in the Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
