> CARET has the F99, D99, F6, atlases and a few others.
Hi, maybe one needs to clarify, whether atlas means atlas or template,
or kind of standard space. In my understanding, a standard space is not
an atlas. However, Caret offers several atlases for the macaque as well,
e.g. based on the Paxinos atlas. To use these atlasses in order to
identify regions, it works best for me to transform individual brains
into the F99 space with fnirt. Another Method I am using, is to
transform individual brains to the Saleem-Logothetis template, so I can
directly use their coordinates to identify regions.
However the other way around, creating rois of specific regions, I have
no dataset I rely on. Here I use my own anatomical rois that I created
for one monkey. I transform these to other monkeys and correct them
manually. An awful time consuming work to do... If someone has a better
method at hand, I would be very happy to hear about it.
I think, it would be a great idea, if FSL could include both, a standard
template of a macaque brain, as well as a atlas. I hope that some of
these guys mentioned in the posts I linked to will provide an atlas
soon, and that this could be included in the FSL package.
