[caret-users] Communicating with AFNI

[David Van Essen]

Rishi,

John's matrix-related comments appear to be on track, based on my  
superficial reading.  But I wanted in particular to follow up on his  
comment about future support for Caret-AFNI communication.

We set this up quite a few years ago when Caret didn't handle volume  
visualization.

Caret now has much more robust volume visualization capabilities,  
including concurrent volume-surface visualization in different  
window.  Consequently, it is very rare that I or others in my lab use  
the Caret-AFNI linkage even when we are viewing AFNI volumes.

I recognize that AFNI has a lot of analysis tools that we don't even  
attempt to emulate in Caret.  But is there something in the  
visualization domain that makes a Caret-AFNI linkage especially useful  
to you? (Or to others who might choose to chime in?)  Or had you just  
not given much thought to trying surface-volume comparisons within  
Caret?

The answer(s) may influence whether we preserve this feature in future  
Caret releases.

David
