MNI vs Talairach, and the information about nonlinear registration[edit]

I am trying to clean up a draft page for the MNI coordinate system, and it seems similar in content to the Talairach information here, to the point that MNI is referenced as the successor for Talairach in most neuroimaging and neuroscience contexts.

I am also a fair bit curious about the nonlinear registration, as it seems like a closely related topic that deserves its own wikipedia page (and it does in Image registration). Sawerchessread (talk) 05:25, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Proposal[edit]

I propose merging Draft:MNI Coordinate System into Talairach coordinates. I've tried doing some work on this and that MNI draft page, but in hindsight, I feel this article could be just another redirect for Talairach coordinates, and MNI could be some subsection inside. MNI is often just considered as a replacement for Talairach, to the point that Talairach in neuroimaging is usually just considered more of an artifactual terminology.

I have tagged the article and the draft for a merge discussion. I was going to start the discussion with the following:

The draft is about the same size as the MNI section in the target article. I invite subject matter experts to decide whether the draft deserves to be a standalone article, or a merge to this article is more appropriate. Usedtobecool ☎️ 09:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Think Merge makes sense. MNI has supplanted TLRC almost completely to the point that if you say you have TLRC, folks may ask if you mean MNI homo momo (talk) 13:53, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... Think its been a bit, I'm just gonna start working on a merge in. homo momo (talk) 05:20, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

original 1967 article is hard to figure out[edit]

Whenever I search it up, it keeps linking to the 1980 Application of Stereotactic Concepts to the Surgery of Epilepsy.

Also whenever I search for the exact article title on Google Scholar, to see the name in a reference, it seems to keep linking back to the 1980 article? homo momo (talk) 05:35, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
