Patent number: 8180426Abstract: Data collected by a transcranial brain function measuring/stimulating method is accurately projected and displayed onto a brain surface. If there is no three-dimensional head image, data is projected and displayed onto the brain surface of a standard brain. The head surface coordinates are transformed to the brain surface coordinates of the brain surface underlying the head surface by, e.g., a minimum distance search method. The coordinates of a projected point on the brain surface of the head surface and the probability distribution are determined for a standard brain normalized with data on subjects.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignees: Shimadzu Corporation, National Food Research InstituteInventors: Ippeita Dan, Kuniko Sakamoto, Masako Okamoto, Seiichiro Isobe, Kaoru Kohyama, Koji Shimizu, Kazuhiro Takeo
