About brain coordinates

Brain coordinates used in ecc follows that of the CUBIC-Atlas, which is defined by

• Raw camera image (horizontal section) is viewed from the dorsal side. This means that anatomical left hemisphere comes to the left-hand side of the image.
• X axis is left-right axis, where x becomes larger as it goes to right
• Y axis is anterior-posterior axis, where y becomes larger as it goes to posterior
• Z axis is dorsal-ventral axis, where z becomes larger as it goes to ventral

All image data must follow this coordinate and must be reoriented accordingly so that it can be analyzed.

Above definition is summarized in the image below:
