Abstract. As structural and surface-based analyses gain interest for activation detection, morphometry and intersubject matching purposes, this paper proposes a method to perform structural group analyses directly on the cortical surface. Scale-space blobs are extracted from surface-based functional maps and matched across subjects. The process aims at identifying activations within a population despite the various effects due to variability. Results of the method are presented with simulated activations and with data from a somatotopy protocol.
