Random fields, brains and manifolds

Abstract:

I shall start by discussing some statistical problems related to mapping the brain, both the cerebrum (a 3-dimensional object) and the cerebral cortex, or \"brain surface\"" (a 2-dimensional manifold in 3-dimensional space). This problem has motivated recent deep results describing the geometry of Gaussian random fields on manifolds
