Functional MRI for pre-surgical mapping is hampered by a
high degree of individual variability, requiring experts
to make appropriate data processing choices. We have
developed a method for automatic and individualized
processing of pre-surgical mapping using the ROC-r
framework. This method optimizes both pre-processing
pipelines and activation thresholds on a case-by-case
basis. We compare localization obtained for fMRI with
more direct measures of neural activity (MEG, cortical
stimulation, and sensory evoked potentials). We find
highly concordant spatial localization between
modalities, showing the potential of automated
optimization of fMRI processing for pre-surgical
mapping.
