NAME¶

pysurfer - visualize cortical surface reconstruction from Freesurfer

DESCRIPTION¶

usage: pysurfer subject_id hemisphere surface [options]

PySurfer is a package for visualization and interaction with cortical surface representations of neuroimaging data from Freesurfer.

The command-line program pysurfer is designed to largely replicate Freesufer's tksurfer command-line interface in the format and style of arguments it accepts, and, like tksurfer, invoking it will initialize a visualization in an external window and begin an IPython session in the terminal, through which the visualization can be manipulated.

The visualization interface is exposed through methods on the `brain' variable that will exist in IPython namespace when the program finishes loading. Please see the PySurfer documentation for more information about how to interact with the Brain object.
