Manual segmentation of 3D brain structures in a common anatomical space

brainglobe-segmentation

Segmentation of 1/2/3D brain structures in a common anatomical space

brainglobe-segmentation is a companion to brainreg allowing manual segmentation of regions/objects within the brain (e.g. injection sites, probes etc.) allowing for automated analysis of brain region distribution, and visualisation (e.g. in brainrender). brainglobe-segmentation is the successor to brainreg-segment.

brainglobe-segmentation and brainreg were developed by Adam Tyson and Charly Rousseau in the Margrie Lab, based on aMAP by Christian Niedworok. The work was generously supported by the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre.

Installation

brainglobe-segmentation comes bundled with brainreg, so see the brainreg installation instructions.

brainglobe-segmentation can be installed on it's own (pip install brainglobe-segmentation), but you will need to register your data with brainreg first.

Usage
