Connectome Workbench v1.0 Released
The WU-Minn HCP Consortium is pleased to announce Connectome Workbench (WB) version 1.0 brain visualization and analysis software has been released at http://humanconnectome.org/connectome/get-connectome-workbench.html
WB v1.0 is available for 64-bit Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux (32-bit Windows is no longer supported).
The Workbench distribution includes wb_view, a GUI-based visualization platform, and wb_command, a command-line program for performing a variety of algorithmic tasks using volume, surface, and grayordinate data.
New features in WB v1.0 include:
- The “workbench” GUI executable has been renamed “wb_view”
- Integrated Help information in wb_view accessible through the “?” button
- Additions to capabilities for displaying matrix charts for parcellated connectivity CIFTI files
- New border file format that carries structure and vertex count (see -file-convert or tutorial instructions for conversion of old format border files)
- wb_commands “-nifti-convert” and “-cifti-convert -version-convert” have been moved to “-file-convert“, nifti convert arguments changed
- New viewing capabilities for asymmetric dense connectome CIFTI file, multi-slice oblique volume, and label data outlines
With the release we have created a streamlined, updated WB v1.0 tutorial and dataset featuring processed HCP 500 Subjects data that are available to download at http://humanconnectome.org/connectome/get-connectome-workbench.html and on the ConnectomeDB HCP project page. Access to the tutorial data requires ConnectomeDB login and signature of the HCP Open Access Data Use Terms.
