skull meshes
What is your favorite alternative software to generate skull(in/out) meshes? (freesurf/brainsuite/ASA/oth) That is sad that there is no even half-automatic tool for that in brainvisa... or did I miss something?

The team working in the LENA/MEG center, in La Pitie Salpetriere in Paris, uses a script generating a mesh of the skull from Aims/Vip command lines. When I was involved in its development, it was simply a closed version of the brain dilated a fixed amount, but they may have improved that stuff. Get in touch with D. Schwartz and Sylvain Baillet (they are in the user list of the forum).
There is also a crappy mesh of the head generated in the pipeline.
Anyway, I would like to stress that we do not pretend providing everything ourselves. We hope other groups will complete the brainVISA framework with their own tools
for MEG/EEG, the group mentioned above is doing a great job, but I do not think they spend a lot of time on brain geometry. Therefore, there is a lot of space for other contributions.
Furthermore, we encourage the embedding of concurrent algorithms inside brainVISA framework. Any algorithm, indeed, sometimes find a dataset showing its weaknesses
. I hope some plugins will be developped to add some functionalities of freesurfer or FSL. Such plugins are in progress for SPM and MRItotal (MNI tools)

Thank you for the ideasJean-Francois Mangin wrote:Get in touch with D. Schwartz and Sylvain Baillet (they are in the user list of the forum).
S. Baillet recently announced alpha release of brainstorm which does a lot for EEG/MEG forward/inverse problems and it supposed to import meshes generated by brainvisa... I will first look into what is happening there
Thanx again!

Re: skull meshes
Yaroslav,
You might check out the new version of FSL. BET2 now produces inner and outer skull meshes.
Cheers,
