====== xff file formats ======

===== Motivation =====
Sometimes it is useful to understand the working mechanism of a specific file format supported by NeuroElf/xff, particularly for the text-based (tff) formats (e.g. BrainVoyager QX's protocol file format). This page will, in time, link to information about the various formats.

===== List of formats =====
==== Binary formats ====
  * [[xff - CMP format|CMP, GCM, and ICA]] (BrainVoyager QX combined format for component, Granger, and ICA maps)
  * [[xff - GLM format|GLM]] (BrainVoyager QX general-linear-model file, storage of regression results)
  * [[xff - HDR format|HDR and NII]] (Analyze/NIftI file format, multi-purpose storage of 3D/4D voxel-wise data)
  * [[xff - MAP format|MAP]] (BrainVoyager QX slice-based map file, i.e. for FMR overlay)
  * [[xff - MAT format|MAT]] (Matlab MAT file with data field)
  * [[xff - MSK format|MSK]] (BrainVoyager QX mask file, voxel-based)
  * [[xff - MTC format|MTC]] (BrainVoyager QX mesh-based timecourse file)
  * [[xff - SMP format|SMP]] (BrainVoyager QX surface map file, i.e. for SRF overlay)
  * [[xff - SRF format|SRF]] (BrainVoyager QX surface file, vertices, triangles, normals, colors)
  * [[xff - SSM format|SSM]] (BrainVoyager QX surface-to-surface mapping file, maps vertices from one to another surface)
  * [[xff - STC format|STC]] (BrainVoyager QX slice-based timecourse file, actual data referenced in FMR files)
  * [[xff - VMP format|VMP]] (BrainVoyager QX voxel-based map file, i.e. for VMR overlay)
  * [[xff - VMR format|VMR]] (BrainVoyager QX voxel-based MR file, i.e. anatomical data)
  * [[xff - VTC format|VTC]] (BrainVoyager QX voxel-based timecourse file)


==== Text-based formats ====
  * [[xff - FMR format|FMR]] (BrainVoyager QX Functional MR file)
  * [[xff - HEAD format|HEAD]] (AFNI HEAD/BRIK file)
  * [[xff - MDM format|MDM]] (BrainVoyager QX Multi-study design matrix file)
  * [[xff - OLT format|OLT]] (BrainVoyager QX Overlay Look-up Table file)
  * [[xff - POI format|POI]] (BrainVoyager QX Patch-Of-Interest file)
  * [[xff - PRT format|PRT]] (BrainVoyager QX Protocol file)
  * [[xff - SDM format|SDM]] (BrainVoyager QX Single-study design matrix file, supercedes the older RTC format)
  * [[xff - TAL format|TAL]] (BrainVoyager QX Talairach transformation file)
  * [[xff - TRF format|TRF]] (BrainVoyager QX Transformation file)
  * [[xff - VOI format|VOI]] (BrainVoyager QX Volume-Of-Interest file)
