Voxel Atlas Definitions

Description

Voxel based analyses often require an atlas to differentiate voxels by structure membership. In conjunction with the atlas, a set of atlas definitions allow you to calculate summaries by region for measures and statistics of interest. For example the defs argument of anatGetAll is a character vector pointing to atlas definitions.

Details

the basic format for voxel atlas definitions is a 3-column csv file. The file should be formatted like:

Structure right.label left.label
amygdala 51 151
anterior commisure: pars anterior 115 215

The csv file may contain additional columns, but the three columns above must by present with names spelling/case sensitive. Additional columns may include a tissue.type column which is used in some functions.
