Abstract
We present here a method that aims at defining a surface-based coordinate system on the cortical surface. Such a system is needed for both cortical localization and intersubject matching in the framework of neuroimaging. We therefore propose an automatic parameterization based on the spherical topology of the grey/white matter interface of each hemisphere and on the use of organised and reproductible anatomical markers. From those markers used as initial constraints, the coordinate system is propagated via a PDE solved on the cortical surface. Preliminary work and results are presented here as well as further directions of research.
