The UNAF laboratory, located in the Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot (SHFJ), in the suburb of Paris, has a worldwide recognized position in the Human Brain Mapping community, from methodological developments (data acquisition, model and data processing), to Cognitive Neuroscience and Clinical applications. The computer vision team (ATOM) is an international leader for the development of methods to map and to study the cortical folding patterns and the cortex connectivity from MR data. These morphometric methods are freely distributed to the brain imaging community for applications on large databases of MR brain data ( http://brainvisa.info , thousand of brains processed). Some of the databases dedicated to psychiatric diseases and brain development are built in SHFJ.

ATOM team develops also an original model of the inter-individual variability of the cortical folding patterns based on ontogeny. This interest in morphogenesis fits the research about phylogeny underlying EVAN network.
