There are some old licenses for Brain Voyager around. This point-and-click commercial package has many impressive features. It seems we might have [:BrainVisaInformation:Brain Visa] installed but I think it is probably an old version. If you find out, please put the latest information here! |

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], which has consistently been on the cutting edge of new methods. It runs under [:LearningMatlab:a language called Matlab] allowing you to browse the source and write your own components relatively easily.
[:FslInformation:FSL] ("fossil") - a powerful and fast collection of open source tools from FMRIB, Oxford also has many strengths and has a substantial following.
For some applications (particularly generating inflated brains, flat mapping, or performing grey & white matter segmentation for MEG analysis) you might wish to use [:FreeSurferAnalysis:Freesurfer].
[:AfniInformation:Afni] is also installed.
There are some old licenses for Brain Voyager around. This point-and-click commercial package has many impressive features.
It seems we might have [:BrainVisaInformation:Brain Visa] installed but I think it is probably an old version. If you find out, please put the latest information here!
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.
[:MriCro:dcm2nii] (part of MRICron) is a tool that allows manipulating DICOM images, including converting them to NIFTI/ANALYZE and the like, rotating and cropping images and anonymizing the image header. (The first function is particularly useful if you are an FSL user.)
Extensions to SPM/Matlab
[:AutomaticAnalysisIntroduction:aa - automatic analysis] - 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
LoadShare - our tool for balancing SPM jobs across machines
SpmBatchPrintContrasts - for printing contrasts automatically
DisplaySlices program for displaying multiple images slices in SPM
