  • Abstract
    This paper describes Simitar, a toolbox for studying the similarity structure of patterns of brain activation in different experimental conditions. We focus on supporting two types of analysis, namely, the calculation of local similarity matrices for all locations in the brain and the identification of locations where similarity has a desired structure, via an intuitive interface.
