Fractal Geometry of the Brain

The new edition of the highly popular, The Fractal Geometry of the Brain, reviews the most intriguing applications of fractal analysis in neuroscience with a focus on current and future potential, limits, advantages, and disadvantages. It brings an understanding of fractals to clinicians and researchers even if they do not have a mathematical background, and it serves as a valuable tool for teaching the translational applications of computationalfractal-basedmodels to both students and scholars. As a consequence of the novel research developed atProfessorDi Ieva's laboratory and other centers around the world, the second edition will explore the use of computational fractal-based analysis inmany clinical disciplines and differentfields of research, includingneurology and neurosurgery, neuroanatomy and psychology,magnetoencephalography (MEG), eye-tracking devices (for the fractal computational characterization of "scanpaths"),deep learning in image analysis, radiomics for the characterization of brain MRIs, characterization of neuropsychological and psychiatric diseases and traits, signal complexity analysis in time series, and functional MRI,amongst others.
