al., 2004), and also many volumetric and surface-based algorithms for topology correction, and evolving fronts under topological control (Ségonne et al., 2003,2005a,2005b,2007); Jon Polimeni has pushed forward the use of the surface models for laminar modeling; Oliver Hinds developed tools for automatically predicting the location of V1 from folding patterns as part of his Ph.D. work with Eric Schwartz at BU; Martin Reuter has developed tools for rigid registration that are unbiased and extremely accurate in the presence of nonlinearities such as B0 distortions, and tongue/jaw/eye movement (Reuter et al., 2010), and has taken over primary responsibility for the ongoing development of our longitudinal analysis stream, and also worked with Peter Sand to develop and validate prototype tools for registering histological and block-face images to high-resolution ex vivo MRI; Peng Yu was an MIT Ph.D. student who implemented spherical wavelets and applied them to the study of cortical folding patterns (Yu et al., 2007); Xiao Han came from Jerry Prince's lab and wrote code for estimation of intensity distributions that made the segmentation procedures insensitive to pulse sequence (Han and Fischl, 2007), Rahul Desikan worked with Ron Killiany to develop a gyral-based cortical parcellation (Desikan et al., 2006), similar to
