NAME

       caret - interactive viewing, manipulation and analysis of surface reconstructions of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex

DESCRIPTION

       Caret  is  a  software application for viewing and manipulating surface reconstructions of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex, viewing vol-
       umes, for displaying experimental data on the surfaces and volumes and performing functional and structural analysis of the  cerebral  cor-
       tex.

       Besides	the  main  GUI application, the Caret software package provides a command line interface caret_command that significantly improves
       the efficiency when analyzing a large number of datasets.

       caret_command provides an extensive help output when called with the -help option.

       Questions  regarding  the  usage  of  Caret  or	related  theory  can  be  posted  on   the   Caret   mailing   list   (see   http://brain-
       vis.wustl.edu/caret/#Help).

NAME

       nifti - IO libraries and tools for the NIFTI-1 data format

DESCRIPTION

       The  NIfTI-1  data  format  is  a binary file format for storing medical image data, e.g. magnetic resonance image (MRI) and functional MRI
       (fMRI) brain images.

       The NIfTI format is an extension of the widely used ANALYZE 7.5 format. The goals of this modified data format are (1) to  add  information
       to the header that will be useful for functional neuroimaging data analysis and display. These additions include:

	      - More basic data types.
	      - Two affine transformations to specify voxel coordinates.
	      - "Intent" codes and parameters to describe the meaning of the data.
	      - Affine scaling of the stored data values to their "true" values.
	      - Optional storage of the header and image data in one file (.nii).

       And (2) To maintain compatibility with non-NIFTI-aware ANALYZE 7.5 compatible software (i.e., such a program should be able to do something
       useful with a NIFTI-1 dataset -- at least, with one stored in a traditional .img/.hdr file pair).

       The NIfTI library package consists of two libraries:

       znzlib -- low level library for handling read/write of compressed files.

       niftilib -- core i/o routines for reading and writing nifti-1 format files. Primarily routines to  read/write  and  manipulate  the  header
       field information, including orientation matrices.  Volume-wise, timecourse-wise, access to image data.
