1. A computer-implemented method for determining a stimulation volume for a subject patient, the method comprising:

  • associating, by a computer processor, anatomical features in a first image, corresponding to an anatomical region of the subject patient, with corresponding anatomical features in a second image, corresponding to an anatomical region of at least one selected patient from a patient population, wherein a stimulation volume has been predetermined for the at least one selected patient; and

    warping, by the processor, a combination of the second image and the stimulation volume predetermined for the at least one selected patient so that the anatomical features in the second image of the combination match the anatomical features in the first image, the warped combination thereby providing for the subject patient one of a target stimulation volume, defined by an outline of a region targeted to be activated by a stimulation, and a side effect stimulation volume, defined by an outline of a region, activation of which by a stimulation is estimated to cause a side effect.
