Major neuroimaging software packages installed at the CBU
Most imagers at the CBU use [:SpmInformation:SPM], the dominant software analysis package from the FIL in London. However, [:FslInformation:FSL] ("fossil") - a powerful and fast collection of tools from FMRIB, Oxford, also has a following.
For some applications (particularly flat mapping, or performing grey & white matter segmentation for MEG analysis) you might wish to use [:FreeSurferAnalysis:Freesurfer].
[:AfniInformation:Afni] is also installed.
There is [:AvailableSoftware:a list of the people responsible for maintaining our neuroimaging (fMRI & MEG) software].
Smaller tools
[:MriCro:MriCro and its successor MriCron] are a pair of very useful tools for viewing structural or functional images, producing 3D renderings of activation, and examining anatomical templates.
Extensions to SPM/Matlab
[:AutomaticAnalysisIntroduction:aa] - a system to automate SPM analyses, allowing the easy application of a set of pre-defined analysis recipes
MarsBar - a useful toolbox for performing region-of-interest (ROI) analyses
[:DataDiagnostics:tsdiffana] - data diagnostics utility, good for checking the quality of your fMRI data
SnpmInformation - for doing non-parametric statistics in SPM
