BrainSuite for Brainstorm
Authors: Chinmay Chinara, Anand Joshi, Raymundo Cassani, David Shattuck
BrainSuite software is a collection of image analysis tools designed to process magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the human brain. BrainSuite provides an automatic sequence to extract cortical surface mesh models from the MRI, tools to register these to a labeled atlas to define anatomical regions of interest, and tools for processing diffusion imaging data including co-registration to anatomical data, ODF and tensor fitting and tractography. BrainSuite also contains visualization tools for exploring these data, and can produce interactive maps of regional connectivity. For more details please visit https://brainsuite.org/.
