Offers a snapshot of the latest developments on a broad range of topics within the very active and growing fields of diffusion MR and brain connectivity

Features the proceedings from two closely related workshops: Computational Diffusion MRI (CDMRI'13) and Mathematical Methods from Brain Connectivity (MMBC'13)

Contributions include both careful mathematical derivations and a large number of rich full-color visualizations

Leading experts in the fields on the program committees

Includes supplementary material: [...]
