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.
CMP, GCM, and ICA (BrainVoyager QX combined format for component, Granger, and ICA maps)
GLM (BrainVoyager QX general-linear-model file, storage of regression results)
HDR and NII (Analyze/NIftI file format, multi-purpose storage of 3D/4D voxel-wise data)
MAP (BrainVoyager QX slice-based map file, i.e. for FMR overlay)
MAT (Matlab MAT file with data field)
MSK (BrainVoyager QX mask file, voxel-based)
MTC (BrainVoyager QX mesh-based timecourse file)
SMP (BrainVoyager QX surface map file, i.e. for SRF overlay)
SRF (BrainVoyager QX surface file, vertices, triangles, normals, colors)
SSM (BrainVoyager QX surface-to-surface mapping file, maps vertices from one to another surface)
STC (BrainVoyager QX slice-based timecourse file, actual data referenced in FMR files)
VMP (BrainVoyager QX voxel-based map file, i.e. for VMR overlay)
VMR (BrainVoyager QX voxel-based MR file, i.e. anatomical data)
VTC (BrainVoyager QX voxel-based timecourse file)
Text-based formats
FMR (BrainVoyager QX Functional MR file)
HEAD (AFNI HEAD/BRIK file)
MDM (BrainVoyager QX Multi-study design matrix file)
OLT (BrainVoyager QX Overlay Look-up Table file)
POI (BrainVoyager QX Patch-Of-Interest file)
PRT (BrainVoyager QX Protocol file)
SDM (BrainVoyager QX Single-study design matrix file, supercedes the older RTC format)
TAL (BrainVoyager QX Talairach transformation file)
TRF (BrainVoyager QX Transformation file)
VOI (BrainVoyager QX Volume-Of-Interest file)
