Overview

BrainSuite comes as an interactive tool with GUI support, which enables researchers to work without specialized programming knowledge. However, for those comfortable with coding, customizable workflow is also available through BrainSuite module in Nipype Interface. For all the cool things about BrainSuite, why don’t we go ahead into our demo highlights.
