Connectome Workbench v1.2.2 Released

Version 1.2.2 of Connectome Workbench (Workbench or WB) brain visualization and 
analysis software is now available at 
http://humanconnectome.org/connectome/get-connectome-workbench.html  for 64-bit 
Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux.

Version 1.2.2 of Workbench is compatible with the scene files distributed in 
the new Brain Analysis Library of Spatial maps and Atlases (BALSA) 
database<https://balsa.wustl.edu/> in conjunction with the July 20 Nature 
publication A multi-modal parcellation of human cerebral 
cortex<http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature18933.html>.



The Workbench distribution includes wb_view, a GUI-based visualization 
platform, and wb_command, a command-line program for performing a variety of 
algorithmic tasks using volume, surface, and grayordinate data.



New features in WB v1.2.2 include:

wb_view:

·    Connectivity correlation can now be dynamically calculated from 
data-series files.

·    Upload of files to BALSA enabled.



wb_command:

Changes and new features:

·    loading a timeseries now computes correlation on any identification, use 
"connectivity" tab in overlay toolbox to turn off

·    -file-information lists data files in each scene unless -no-map-info is 
specified and has an added -only-metadata option

·    "dynconn" computation of correlation from dtseries files on the fly

·    -cifti-help and -gifti-help commands added to explain file formats

·    -cifti-change-mapping command deprecates -cifti-copy-mapping, 
-cifti-change-timestep, and -cifti-convert-to-scalar

·    -scene-file-merge added



Bug fixes:

·    fixed gifti external binary reading on windows

·    non-XYZ-oriented volumes now display properly in Volume view mode

·    fix reading of uncompressed volume files with frames larger than 2GiB

·    some crashes when interacting with layers after opening wb_view without 
data files

·    -spec- and -scene-file-relocate fixed to put relative paths in output files

·    *-erode commands no longer crash on multi-column files



WB v1.2.2 is compatible with the WB v1.0 tutorial and the processed 900 
Subjects Group Average Data available to download at 
http://humanconnectome.org/connectome/get-connectome-workbench.html and on the 
ConnectomeDB HCP project 
page<https://db.humanconnectome.org/data/projects/HCP_900>. Access to both 
datasets require ConnectomeDB login and signature of the HCP Open Access Data 
Use Terms.



To download the WB v1.2.2 source code from 
GitHub<https://github.com/Washington-University/workbench>: follow the link, 
click releases (near the top of the page), then under v1.2.2, click the "Source 
code (zip)" or "Source code (tar.gz)" button.



We encourage you to check out Connectome Workbench v1.2.2!
