BIDS specification
Description of BIDS specifications
Automated import of datasets following the BIDS specifications
Volume atlases
Volume atlases in subject space (eg. FreeSurfer's Aseg atlas) can be used in various ways:
Import as scouts for volume source models: See Volume source estimation.
Import as volume: Import the aseg.mgz file as a new MRI in the subject anatomy folder, then display it with the MRI viewer. New colormaps are available for representing labelled atlases.
Volumes in MNI space
Volumes in MNI space can be imported and transformed to the subject space. This allows the new features described above also for standard volume atlases, such as the AAL atlas. You just need to make sure you select the file format "Volume mask or atlas (MNI space)" in the import options.
Import MNI volume atlases as scouts for volume source models.
Import MNI volume atlases as a subject volume, for overlaying on the subject structural MRI.
Import MNI volume atlases as surfaces (produces something similar to the "aseg" surface file).
To get the labels of the atlas displayed correctly, a .txt file with the same name should be present in the folder. Each line in this file must include the index of the label ("label_index label_name"), such as the atlases distributed as part of the MRIcron software.
