Hi Abbie

you might check out Matti Hamalainen's MNE software. He does both boundary and finite element analysis. We distribute a test subject named "bert" you can use

cheers

Hello,
Just a couple more questions that would be great if you could answer in
explanation form:

How do people develop finite element models from brain MRI?
How do people learn and implement the software on an example data set?

      Hi Abbie

      you just use the recon-all script from the command line:

      recon-all \
              -i <path to 1 file in the correct dicom series> \
              -sd <path to the directory that you store all your
      subjects> \
              -s <identifier to give this subject> \
              -all

      this will take 5-20 hours and at the end will create and
      populate a
      directory tree with segmented volumes and surfaces
      cheers
