Anatomical Automatic Labeling
- Anatomical Automatic Labeling
Anatomical Automatic Labeling (AAL) is a software package and digital atlas of the human brain.It is typically used in functional neuroimaging-based research to obtain neuroanatomical labels for the locations in 3-dimensional space where the measurements of some aspect of brain function were captured. In other words, it projects the divisions in the brain atlas onto brain-shaped volumes of functional data.
It is developed by a French research group based in Caen and described further in the following scientific article:
