SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping)

Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) is a technique used in brain imaging to analyze and visualize brain activity. It employs statistical methods to identify areas of the brain that are active or different across groups or conditions, based on data from scans like MRI or PET. SPM creates maps highlighting significant regions, helping researchers and clinicians understand how the brain functions or how it may be affected by disease. Essentially, it transforms complex imaging data into understandable, visual representations to support scientific and medical insights.
