If you are a beginner to !FreeSurfer, the following content is HIGHLY recommended to enhance your enjoyment of the course.

 1. Please view this video introducing you to interacting with !FreeSurfer through Unix: -Link Coming Soon-

 2. Please familiarize yourself with the terms in this glossary: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x6PsE6tlOXF7zcvkhwTGngD_B8Mslzsvzlo6_alP_28/edit?usp=sharing

== Explanation ==
the phrase "put something in a different space' can also be used for
reslicing. Applying a transform is more. For example 'map to Talairach
space" means that the brain is rotated, translated, and even stretched
first to fit the talairach average and then resliced. So its position
and even shape/size is changed by a transform and then the reslicing
happens according to whatever 'camera settings' are used.

Line 16: Line 14:
So applying a transform means:
1. undo camera setting of source -> 2. apply geometric transform
(rotation, translation, strecthing, shearing) -> 3. use camera setting
of target (or the same as source again whatever the user wants).

Line 23: Line 20:
The camera setting can be understood as for example distance between
slices (voxel size), position and orientation of slices. It usually also
includes the data type (eg. int, float...). These settings are stored in
each mgz file and also referred to as the 'geometry'.
