Diffusion in the brain cortex has a complicated structuture. Traditional image axes based coordinate frameworks might not be suitable to analyze finer level details of this process and a new representation may be needed. In this work, we propose to analyze the diffusion properties relative to a "cortex based coordinate framework". We use an ex-vivo marmoset data to analyze the diffusion both wit the tensor and spherical harmonics model.
