We propose a framework for the extraction and characterization of brain activity areas published in neuroscientific reports, as well as a suitable clustering strategy of said areas. We further show that it is possible to obtain three-dimensional summarizing brain maps, accounting for a particular topic within those studies. After, using the text information from the articles, we characterize such maps. As an illustrative experiment, we demonstrate the proposed mining approach in fMRI reports of default mode networks. The proposed method hints at the possibility of searching for both visual and textual keywords in neuro atlases." }
