[Brains-users] Re: New release of BRAINS image processing package

[Hans Johnson]

Judy,

Yes!  This has been a major push of ours for the last 3 months.  It does
work, but installation can be a little tricky.  In order to simplify our
lives, we have built off of the fink software, so it needs to be installed
first.

You will need to read the documentation about Mac installation at
www.psychiatry.uiowa.edu/wiki.
