Wrapper Functions for 'FreeSurfer'

Wrapper functions that interface with 'Freesurfer' < https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/>, a powerful and commonly-used 'neuroimaging' software, using system commands. The goal is to be able to interface with 'Freesurfer' completely in R, where you pass R objects of class 'nifti', implemented by package 'oro.nifti', and the function executes an 'Freesurfer' command and returns an R object of class 'nifti' or necessary output.

freesurfer

The goal of freesurfer is a port/wrapper of Freesurfer to R.

Much of the operations of Freesurfer are incorporated. This package is very useful for structural imaging, such as MRI. Some of the fMRI functionality has not been ported or has limited capability.
