CARET's capabilities

  • Analysis of group anatomical differences using sulcal depth morphometry.
  • Display of activation foci.
  • Generation of flat, inflated, spherical surfaces.
  • Mapping of fMRI volumes onto surfaces.
  • Surface reconstruction from anatomical MRI volumes using the SureFit algorithm.
  • Surface reconstruction from contours.
  • Surface-based registration.
  • Visualization of contours, surfaces, and volumes.

SuMS Database and WebCaret provided on-line storage of surface and volume-based data along with web-based visualization of the data.
