Mapping human brain lesions and their functional consequences

HO Karnath, C Sperber, C Rorden - Neuroimage, 2018 - Elsevier

On the validity of lesion-behaviour mapping methods

C Sperber, HO Karnath - Neuropsychologia, 2018 - Elsevier
Brain lesion studies have been criticised for producing partly heterogeneous results; especially
the validity of statistical voxel-based lesion-behaviour mapping has been discussed. In …
