FMRIB Software Library v6.0

Created by the Analysis Group, FMRIB, Oxford, UK.

News: Latest version of the FSL Course is now online, including all the material from the 2020 online course, such as full lecture recordings and practical overviews.

FSL is a comprehensive library of analysis tools for FMRI, MRI and DTI brain imaging data. It runs on Apple and PCs (both Linux, and Windows via a Virtual Machine), and is very easy to install. Most of the tools can be run both from the command line and as GUIs ("point-and-click" graphical user interfaces).
