Abstract. In this talk, I will give an overview of my work on brain surface mapping under the guidance of landmark curves. First I will present a general framework to compute maps between surfaces under the constraints of landmark curves. Numerically this is achieved by solving a partial differential equation on implicitly represented surfaces. This method has been applied in studying both cortical and hippocampal surfaces. In the second part of the talk, I will discuss an automated approach we proposed recently for the joint detection of major sulci on cortical surfaces.
