News from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) August 26, 2016 Connectome Workbench v1.2.3 Released The WU-Minn HCP Consortium is pleased to announce that version 1.2.3 of Connectome Workbench (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. 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 v1.2.3 include: * Zip scene file wb_command function is now available from within the wb_view GUI * wb_shortcuts script implemented to more easily do common tasks for interactive shells * New Preferences option for hiding dynamic connectivity *.dynconn layers by default Changes to existing behavior: * warnings produced when creating files with an extension not matching what wb_view expects * interpolation of volume with a length-1 spatial dimension always uses enclosing voxel * -wb_command accepts (but warns) about unicode non-ascii dashes, but also replaces them in filenames * nifti headers default pixdim[] to all 1s even when unused (cifti) Bugfixes: * -cifti-label-import -drop-unused-labels option fixed * files loaded by scene properly restore the "in spec" status * chart timecourse status properly restored from scenes WB v1.2.3 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.
