[MINC-users] brain-view??

[EJ Nikelski]

Hi Anka,

   Are you looking for beta testers? We would be willing to test mincView,
particularly if it provides similar functionality to brain-view, i.e.
overlaying a cortical surface (obj) with functional or cortical thickness
data.  Just make the source and a make file available, and we can build it
ourselves.  We don't really need a package at this point ...

   BTW, do you know whether brain-view is really dead? It looks a bit dated
(QT3  with SoQT libraries and a very Inventor look to it).  If it is
officially dead, I shall recommend that we look for something else.

Thanks for the info,

-Jim
