Left-Pawedness: Brain Asymmetries in the Animal Kingdom
For a long time, it was assumed that left-handedness is a typically human phenomenon and animals do not show comparable preferences. This assumption...
-
Left-Handedness and Cognitive Functions
Are left-handed people actually more intelligent and creative than right-handed people? While some older studies with small sample sizes reported...

Brain Asymmetries: Left-Right Differences in the Brain
Left-handedness is a form of so-called brain asymmetries, that is, functional differences between the right and left halves of the brain. Beyond...

Texture Estimation for Abnormal Tissue Segmentation in Brain MRI
This chapter discusses multifractal texture estimation and characterization of brain lesions (necrosis, edema, enhanced tumor, nonenhanced tumor,...
-
Fractal-Based Analysis of Histological Features of Brain Tumors
The structural complexity of brain tumor tissue represents a major challenge for effective histopathological diagnosis. Tumor vasculature is known to...

Fractal Dimension Studies of the Brain Shape in Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases
The fractal dimension is a morphometric measure that has been used to investigate the changes of brain shape complexity in aging and...
-
Fractal Analysis in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases are defined by progressive nervous system dysfunction and death of neurons. The abnormal conformation and assembly of...

Point of Care Testing (POCT) in Psychopathology Using Fractal Analysis and Hilbert Huang Transform of Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Research has shown that relying only on self-reports for diagnosing psychiatric disorders does not yield accurate results at all times. The advances...
-
Fractal-Based Morphometrics of Glioblastoma
Morphometrics have been able to distinguish important features of glioblastoma from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Using morphometrics computed on...
