Online open neuroimaging mass meta-analysis
This system enables mass meta-analysis for researchers in neuroimaging, but it is incremental as it builds on existing meta-analysis methods with a new computational approach.
The authors tackled the problem of conducting meta-analyses in neuroimaging by developing a wiki-based system for storing data and a web service for computation, initially applying it to structural neuroimaging data across multiple brain regions and mental disorders.
We describe a system for meta-analysis where a wiki stores numerical data in a simple format and a web service performs the numerical computation. We initially apply the system on multiple meta-analyses of structural neuroimaging data results. The described system allows for mass meta-analysis, e.g., meta-analysis across multiple brain regions and multiple mental disorders.
