brainreg-segment

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

brainreg-segment 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).

brainreg-segment 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¶

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

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

Usage¶

See user guide.
