Vistasoft contains the following modules:

• mrAlign : Aligning functional and anatomical data
• mrAnatomy: Handling anatomical MRI data.
• mrBOLD : analysis of functional MRI data.
• mrDiffusion : Diffusion MRI, including DTI and tractography.
• mrMesh : displaying MR data on rendered 3D surface representations of the brain.
• mrQuant : quantitative MRI (see also mrQ)
• mrScripts : a variety of useful scripts

And in addition:

• utilities
• setup
• tutorials
• external: functions written by others that we use as dependencies (see optional packages).

Vistasoft depends on the following packages:

• Matlab
• SPM

• Freesurfer
• FSL
• MRTrix
• JSONLab
• RemoteDataToolbox

For detailed documentation, please visit the VISTA lab wiki.

To install Vistasoft:

1. Clone the Vistasoft repository on your local machine; for example:

   > cd ~/matlab
   > git clone https://github.com/vistalab/vistasoft
   

2. Start Matlab and Add the Vistasoft repository's base directory to your Matlab path:

   addpath(genpath('~/matlab/vistasoft'));

   Note that if you have installed additional Matlab packages (such as the RemoteDataToolbox), you will have to ensure that these packages are on your path as well.
