FSL is a comprehensive library of analysis tools for FMRI, MRI and DTI brain imaging data. FSL is written mainly by members of the Analysis Group, FMRIB, Oxford, UK. FSL runs on Apple and PCs (Linux and Windows), and is very easy to install. Most of the tools can be run both from the command line and as GUIs ("point-and-click" graphical user interfaces).
To quote the relevant references for FSL tools you should look in the
individual tool's manual page (or the Analysis Group publications
page), and also please reference the FSL overview papers:
