=== About the Course ===
The !FreeSurfer tools deal with two main types of data: volumetric data (volumes of voxels) and surface data (polygons that tile a surface). The talks and tutorials should familiarize you with !FreeSurfer's volume and surface processing streams. The tutorials also describe some of !FreeSurfer's tools for registering volumetric datasets, performing group analysis on morphology data, and integrating multi-modal output with !FreeSurfer (overlaying color-coded parametric maps onto the cortical surface and visualizing plotted results).

##After completing the tutorials, you should be able to:
## * perform surface reconstructions;
## * fix errors encountered during the volume or surface processing;
## * overlay functional data onto surfaces;
## * perform group analysis of structural (e.g. thickness) and functional data.
Note: During the tutorial sessions, you will be shown a variety of commands. Only those that appear in a box should be copy-and-pasted into the terminal. They will look like this:

{{{
command arg1 arg2
}}}
'''''Tip for Mac users''''': The tutorials often refer to keyboard shortcuts (such as Alt+v) which do not work on a Mac. For a list of equivalent keyboard commands on a Mac, please refer to MacCommands.

Boston Beer Works location information here and here.
Meet us in front of Building 149 to catch the 6:15pm shuttle bus (it leaves on time!).
If you miss us, we are taking the MGH/Navy Yard shuttle to North Station. From there, cross the street to get to Canal Street.
Boston Beer Works will be down that street, on your right. (Shuttles depart every 15 minutes up until 7:15pm and every half hour after that).
