| Abstract | Conventional fMRI analyses primarily utilize a general linear model composed of a single reference vector for the whole-brain. A single reference vector assumes the hemodynamic response is homogenous between different individuals and regions of interest. This study sought to determine whether a regional-based analysis that accounts for individual and regional differences would yield more sensitive results in terms spatial extent. Fifteen subjects without neurological dysfunction were scanned in a 3T MRI using an experimental block design of visual fixation compared to randomized vergence eye movements. Two temporal independent component analyses were conducted on individual subject data sets. The first used the data set composed of all the voxels within the brain while the second used the data from a masked region to isolate the voxels within the frontal eye fields, a critical cortical region needed to evoke vergence eye movements. A hierarchical temporal independent component analysis was used to compute group-level results. Spatial maps were compared. The regional based analysis resulted in fewer clusters which had greater spatial extent compared to the whole-brain analysis which had more dispersion within the functional activity. This technique has the potential to study individual regions while accounting for the variability of the natural heterogeneous nature of the hemodynamic response found in fMRI data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
