brede - Main function
function brede
Brede provides functions for visualization and processing in
connection with functional brain mapping.
This function will presently try to determine the input
argument and "do something useful" with it, e.g., construct a
graphical user interface where the structure can be viewed.
If the first input argument looks like a filename it might be
opened as an Analyze file, a comma-separated values file or an
XLS file.
Starting the function without any input argument will bring up
the main graphical user interface.
The data in Brede is centered around a couple of structures:
'bib' Contains bibliographic information
'cel' Contains a structure with a cell array
'exp' Contains an 'experiment' structure with information
about a functional neuroimaging experiment.
'ext' Contains 'External components' (eg, cognitive)
'loc' Contains location structure(s)
'mat' Contains a matrix with annotation
'per' Contains a description of a person (author)
'roi' Contains a description of a region of interest
'sur' Contains a surface as a set of faces
'vol' Contains a volume
'web' Contains a web page
A number of these have there own graphical user interface, e.g.,
brede_ui_bib, brede_ui_cel and brede_ui_mat.
A part from structures the functions are organized according
to their functionality:
brede_bm BrainMap database functions
brede_read File reading functions
brede_str Operations on strings
brede_ta2 2D Talairach visualization
brede_ta3 3D Talairach visualization
brede_ui Graphical user interface functions
brede_vta VRML Talairach visualization
