SUMA - AFNI Surface Mapper
SUMA is a program that adds cortical surface based functional imaging analysis to the AFNI suite of programs. It allows viewing 3D cortical surface models, and mapping volumetric data onto them. With SUMA, AFNI can simultaneously and in real-time render Functional Imaging data in 4 modes: Slice, Graph (time series), Volume and Surface with direct links between them.
