FreeSurfer Tutorial Dataset
The freesurfer course is a 3-4 workshop held around 2x per year in the Boston area. It is a collection of talks, demos and tutorials designed to help users become more accustomed to using freesurfer for the analyzing and processing of their MRI data.
The sample data sets used during the course is provided so that users may go thru these tutorials on their own without the need of attending a freesurfer course. It also can be used by freesurfer course participants so that they may be abvle to use their own computer during the course, instead of the own provided at the course location. Downloading the tutorial data set and configuring your system should be fairly straight forward and is described in the instructions below.
