We have developed an interactive tutorial that executes Cortical Surface Extraction, BDP, SVReg, and thicknessPVC in a parallel processing Nipype workflow. Our interactive tutorial is presented through Jupyter Notebooks.
You may view our tutorial page here, without the need to install any dependencies; however you will not be able to execute any code.
A non-interactive version of our tutorial can be viewed at the bottom of this page, or can be viewed here, without the need to install any dependencies. Continue reading to use our interactive tutorial.
