مستخلص: A method for mapping brain function of a subject includes generating a lesion mask using a search light algorithm based on a plurality of anatomical images of the subject. The plurality of anatomical images are registered with atlas images by nonlinear atlas registration using the generated lesion mask to generate a warping map. A plurality of functional images of the subject are resampled using the warping map to generate a functional map, functional connectivity is computed using the functional map and a multi-layer perceptron.
