There are two broad families of methods for obtaining the white-matter bundles that undergo tractometry analyses. In the supervised approach, the goal is to reconstruct known tracts of interest (TOIs) based on a priori neuroanatomical definitions. In the unsupervised approach, the goal is to group whole-brain tractography data into clusters based on their similarity, without a priori knowledge of pathways of the brain. This presentation will give an overview of the two approaches, discuss how both of them can benefit by use of the underlying anatomy, and end with an interactive tour of white-matter tracts.
