DTI-GWAS Task List. Our ENIGMA-Viewer is designed for these analytical tasks

Index Task Example questions
1 Viewing distribution, What is the most affected brain region under a certain disorder?
consistency, or What is the overall data distribution of the effect size in all studies?
inconsistency Are the results consistent or very different?
2 Detect trends What is the distribution of cortical thicknesses and FA values?
How does effect size vary among studies?
3 Find association What are the disorder (brain regions) and genetics correlates to risk?
How does brain structural change associated with
behavioral risks and changes and vulnerability?
How do geographical factors affect disease expression in the brain?
4 Locate extremes What are the significant brain regions mostly affected by diseases?
5 Find local relationships What are the differences between studies in terms of their effect size?
6 Compare different disorders What are the common and different effects in the brain networks
between or among multiple disorders?
7 Compare disorders by regions What are the regions affected or unique to a certain disorder?
