THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on November 05, 2013. It has been superseeded by the CALATK, available here http://www.calatk.org c++ libraries and applications for performing fluid registration based operations on 2D and 3D images. The registration method is based on the large displacement diffeomorphic mapping (LDDM) registration method and implements discretized fluid registration. This registration method is then applied to time series analysis, cross-sectional atlas building, and longitudinal atlas building. The individual tool components are: * LDDM: Fluid registration between two images. * TimeSeries: Time series analysis of longitudinal data for a single subject. * AtlasBuilder: Cross-sectional atlas building for a population of images. * LongitudinalAtlasBuilder: Longitudinal atlas building for a population of subjects, each with a longitudinal data set. * FRATUtils: A collection of utility functions for working with volumes and time series files

This code registers linearly and non-linearly Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Images (DW-MRIs) by extending FLIRT (linear registration of 3D scalar volumes) and FNIRT (non-linear registration of 3D scalar volumes) in the FMRIB Software Library (FSL) to work with 4D volumes. The basis for registering DW-MRIs is the concept of Angular Interpolation (Tao, X., Miller, J. V., 2006. A method forregistering diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images. In: MICCAI. Vol. 9. pp. 594?602), which is implemented and extended to non-linear registration, based on the FLIRT and FNIRT models in FSL. See http://www.frontiersin.org/Brain_Imaging_Methods/10.3389/fnins.2013.00041/abstract. The code does not overwrite FLIRT, FNIRT or any of the FSL C++ code. It is added as FLIRT4D, FNIRT4D and supporting cost functions. The makefiles will however be overwritten to compile the new code, without affecting any version of FSL.

A web-based, interactive brain atlas viewer, containing a growing number of atlas templates for various species, including mouse, macaque and human. Standard features include fast brain region lookup, point and click to select a region and view its full 3D extent, mark a stereotaxic coordinate and view all regions in a hierarchy. Built-in extensions are the CoCoMac plugin, which provides a spatial display of Macaque connectivity, and a service to transform stereotaxic coordinates to and from the INCF Waxholm space for the mouse. Three dimensional renderings of brain regions are available through a Matlab interface (local installation of Matlab required). The SBA is designed to be customizable. External users can create plugins, hosted on their own servers, to interactively attach images or data to spatial atlas locations. This fully web-based display engine for brain atlases and topologies allows client websites to show brain region related data in a 3D interactive context. Currently available atlases are: * Macaque: The Paxinos Rhesus Monkey atlas (2000) * Macaque: Various templates available through Caret, registered to F99 space: Felleman and Van Essen (1991), Lewis and Van Essen (2000), Regional Map from K��tter and Wanke (2005), Paxinos Rhesus Monkey (2000) * Macaque: The NeuroMaps Macaque atlas (2008) * Mouse: The INCF Waxholm Space for the mouse (2011). Previous versions available. * Mouse: The Allen Mouse Brain volumetric atlas (ABA07) * Human: The LPBA40 parcellation, registered to SRI24 space A variety of services are being developed around the templates contained in the Scalable Brain Atlas.

http://bric.unc.edu/ideagroup/free-softwares/ABSORB/

This software package implements an algorithm for effective groupwise registration. The required input is a set of 3D MR intensity images (in Analyze format with paired .hdr and .img files) with a text file (.txt) listing all header file (.hdr) names. The output is the set of registered images together with the corresponding dense deformation fields. This software has been tested on Windows XP (32-bit) and Linux (64-bit, kernel version 2.6.18-194.el5). The images should be pre-processed before applying ABSORB: * All brain MR images used as inputs to ABSORB should be in the same situation (e.g., skull-stripped or not, cerebellum removed or not, etc.). * The input images should be in Analyze format with paired header and image files. This software was developed in IDEA group in UNC-Chapel Hill.

Suite of programs developed for fMRI analysis in a Virtual Pipeline Laboratory facilitates combining program modules from different software packages into processing pipelines to create analysis solutions which are not possible with a single software package alone. Current pipelines include fMRI analysis, statistical testing based on randomization methods and fractal spectral analysis. Pipelines are continually being added. The software is mostly written in C. This fMRI analysis package supports batch processing and comprises the following general functions at the first level of individual image analysis: movement correction (interpolation and regression), time series modeling, data resampling in the wavelet domain, hypothesis testing at voxel and cluster levels. Additionally, there is code for second level analysis - group and factorial or ANOVA mapping - after co-registration of voxel statistic maps from individual images in a standard space. The main point of difference from other fMRI analysis packages is the emphasis throughout on the use of data resampling (permutation or randomization) as a basis for inference on individual, group and factorial test statistics at voxel and cluster levels of resolution.

http://www.picsl.upenn.edu/ANTS/

Software package designed to enable researchers with advanced tools for brain and image mapping. Many of the ANTS registration tools are diffeomorphic*, but deformation (elastic and BSpline) transformations are available. Unique components of ANTS include multivariate similarity metrics, landmark guidance, the ability to use label images to guide the mapping and both greedy and space-time optimal implementations of diffeomorphisms. The symmetric normalization (SyN) strategy is a part of the ANTS toolkit as is directly manipulated free form deformation (DMFFD). *Diffeomorphism: a differentiable map with differentiable inverse. In general, these maps are generated by integrating a time-dependent velocity field. ANTS Applications: * Gray matter morphometry based on the jacobian and/or cortical thickness. * Group and single-subject optimal templates. * Multivariate DT + T1 brain templates and group studies. * Longitudinal brain mapping -- special similarity metric options. * Neonatal and pediatric brain segmentation. * Pediatric brain mapping. * T1 brain mapping guided by tractography and connectivity. * Diffusion tensor registration based on scalar or connectivity data. * Brain mapping in the presence of lesions. * Lung and pulmonary tree registration. * User-guided hippocampus labeling, also of sub-fields. * Group studies and statistical analysis of cortical thickness, white matter volume, diffusion tensor-derived metrics such as fractional anisotropy and mean diffusion.

Portal and tools for sharing and editing neurophysiological and behavioral data for brain-machine interface research. Users can search for existing data or login with their Google, Facebook, or Twitter account and upload new data. Their main focus is on supporting brain-machine interface research, so we encourage users to not just provide recordings of brain activity data, but also information about stimuli, etc., so that statistical relationships can be found between stimuli and/or subject behavior and brain activity. The Matlab tools are for writing, reading, and converting Neuroshare files, the common file format. A free, open source desktop tool for editing neurophysiological data for brain-machine interface research is also available: https://github.com/ATR-DNI/BrainLiner Since data formats aren''''t standardized between programs and researchers, data and analysis programs for data cannot be easily shared. Neuroshare was selected as the common file format. Neuroshare can contain several types of neurophysiological data because of its high flexibility, including analog time-series data and neuronal spike timing. Some applications have plug-ins or libraries available that can read Neuroshare format files, thus making Neuroshare somewhat readily usable. Neuroshare can contain several types of neurophysiological data, but there were no easy tools to convert data into the Neuroshare format, so they made and are providing a Neuroshare Converter Library and Simple Converter using the library. In future work they will make and provide many more useful tools for data sharing. Shared experiments include: EMG signal, Takemiya Exp, Reconstruct (Visual image reconstruction from human brain activity using a combination of multi-scale local image decoders), SPIKE data, Speech Imagery Dataset (Single-trial classification of vowel speech imagery using common spatial patterns), Functional Multineuron Calcium Imaging (fMCI), Rock-paper-scissors (The data was obtained from subject while he make finger-form of rock/paper/scissors).
