Abstract

The availability of computed tomographic (CT) scans of fossil crania has opened a new chapter in paleoneurology. CT scans have made it possible to create virtual imprints of the braincase—so called endocasts—on the computer, even when the endocranial cavity is filled with stone matrix. CT data have also become invaluable for reconstructing partially complete or damaged fossils. Recent methodological advancements have made it possible to analyse endocranial shape using multivariate statistics and study the evolution and development of the endocranium quantitatively. Here I review (1) methods for quantifying endocranial shape, and (2) techniques of virtual fossil reconstruction. I show how these novel methods can be applied in paleoneurology, and discuss advantages and limitations of these approaches.
