We evaluate the similarity between brain atlases using adjusted mutual information (AMI) score. We plot the pairwise AMI scores for GIANT atlas and some other selected brain atlas within a cortical regions and b gray matter tissue. Darker color represents higher concordance between two atlases. We marked the AMI > 0.8 with “×” representing the “perfect alignments”. The GIANT atlas is highlighted using blue dashed lines.
