NAME
fsl - analysis tools for FMRI, MRI and DTI brain imaging
DESCRIPTION
FSL is a comprehensive toolkit for the analysis of medical brain
imaging data. It provides tools for data preprocessing, brain
extraction, image registration as well as statistical analysis. FSL
provides an easy to use GUI.
FSL requires a number of environment variables to be set properly. To
achieve this source the config script from /etc/fsl/fsl.sh. One way to
do this automatically is to add a line containing
. /etc/fsl/fsl.sh
to the .bashrc file in a users home directory (or a corresponding file
for other shells than bash).
However, it is not necessary to manually source the configuration to
use the GUI applications included in FSL.
FSL documentation and online help is provided by the fsl-doc package.
Questions regarding the usage of FSL or related theory can be posted on
the FSL mailing list (see http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/fsl.html).
PARALLELIZATION
FSL can be configured to submit jobs to a running Sun Gridengine (SGE).
While not all functionality implemented in FSL supports this kind of
parallelization, the most demanding processing tools (e.g. POSSUM and
FDT) do.
FSL should be able to use SGE even if the SGE_ROOT environment variable
is not set, as in the case of the Debian package of SGE. To enable
batch processing simply set
FSLPARALLEL=1
in the shell where FSL is running. This can be enabled permanently in
/etc/fsl/fsl.sh
or on a case by case basis.
