FSL is a comprehensive library of image analysis and statistical tools for FMRI, MRI and DTI brain imaging data. FSL is written mainly by members of the Analysis Group, FMRIB, Oxford, UK.
Software
FSL runs on Apple, PCs (Linux and Windows) and Sun, 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). See
FSL screenshots and videos. There is also an evaluation and example data
package available to accompany FSL.
