Major neuroimaging software packages installed at the CBU
Most imagers at the CBU use [:SpmInformation:SPM, the predominant 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].
