Estimation of brain's tissues anisortopy using Brainsuite Diffusion Pipline

Describe brainsuite here : here we will describe the process of the brain tissues anisotrpy estimation and the different functions that brainstorm offers.

This tutorial explains how to use Brainsuite to estimate the anisotropy of the brain tissues.

model using the finite element method (FEM). The FEM methods use the realistic volume mesh of the head generated from the segmentation of the MRI. The FEM models provides more accurate results than the spherical forward models, and more realistic geometry and tissue propriety than the BEM methods.

The scope of this page is limited to a basic example (head model with 3 layers), more advanced options for head model generation and forward model options are discussed in the tutorial about FEM mesh generation. We assume that you have already followed the introduction tutorials (or at least the head modeling tutorial), we will not discuss the general principles of forward modeling here.
