A method for finding fibers in image data of a brain, comprising the steps of: matching (S2) a functional atlas of the brain to an image data set which represents a medical image of the brain performing functional atlas segmentation (S3) in order to segment the image data set into functional areas using (S4, S8) the segmented image data set to determine at least one seed point for a fiber tracking algorithm and - performing (S5) fiber tracking in order to find the fiber.
