Connectome Workbench v1.1 Released The WU-Minn HCP Consortium is pleased to announce that version 1.1 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 v1.1 include: . Improved Help Searching . Border mode improvements including Border optimize to provide semi-automatic optimization of parcel borders based on single or multi-modal gradients . Volume ROI drawing/editing added using "Volume" mode functions . Loading and viewing of image files enabled (displayed as underlay in selected Viewing Tab) . Improvements to parcellated file behavior and display . Palette Settings Improvements: o High/low threshold value linking and threshold setting via right click on histogram functions added o Thresholding and Palette ranges and step sizes respect range of data o Absolute Percentile Palette range and Normalize palette function added . Full File names/paths in Layers are displayed via tooltips and copy functions added to Layer construction menu . Charting Improvements: o Series chart History display options added o Toggle display of selection of rows in matrix chart added . Identify Brainordinate function (head Icon in Toolbar) added for selecting or highlighting a brainordinate, parcel, or CIFTI row . Volume ID symbol may be displayed upon clicking voxels (option in Preferences) . ID Symbols default size reduced . Changes to existing command behavior: o -cifti-extrema now writes dscalar o more error checking in -probtrackx-dot-convert o -cifti-replace-structure on label files doesn't drop unused keys unless asked o -metric-fill-holes, -metric-remove-islands use surface area o -set-map-names will error if no options to change map names are present . New commands and features: o -cifti-create-dense-from-template for easier creation of cifti files with matching brainordinates o command help format shortened by moving parameters with descriptions to the top, replacing the bare list of parameters o -*-stats and -*-weighted-stats o equality/boolean operators added in -*-math o -cifti-separate can now output label volume for subcortical structures o -cifti-convert -*-text for transferring data to/from other tools o -cifti-copy-mapping o better formatting of command help, logging info, wb_command errors o deprecated commands (those that have been replaced with other commands) are available with via: -list-deprecated-commands WB v1.1 is compatible with the upcoming 2015 HCP Course practical instructions and data (look for this in the next 1-2 weeks!) and the WB v1.0 tutorial and dataset featuring processed HCP 500 Subjects 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_500> . Access to the tutorial data requires ConnectomeDB login and signature of the HCP Open Access Data Use Terms. To download the WB v1.1 source code from GitHub <https://github.com/Washington-University/workbench> : follow the link, click releases (near the top of the page), then under v1.1, click the "Source code (zip)" or "Source code (tar.gz)" button . We encourage you to check out Connectome Workbench v1.1 for visualizing and performing analysis on imaging data from the HCP and elsewhere.
