# caret(1)

interactive viewing, manipulation and analysis of surface reconstructions of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex

## NAME

caret - interactive viewing, manipulation and analysis of surface reconstructions of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex

## DESCRIPTION

Caret is a software application for viewing and manipulating surface reconstructions of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex, viewing volumes, for displaying experimental data on the surfaces and volumes and performing functional and structural analysis of the cerebral cortex.

Besides the main GUI application, the Caret software package provides a command line interface **caret\_command** that significantly improves the efficiency when analyzing a large number of datasets.

**caret\_command** provides an extensive help output when called with the *-help* option.

Questions regarding the usage of **Caret** or related theory can be posted on the  **Caret mailing list** (see *http://brainvis.wustl.edu/caret/#Help*).

## SEE ALSO
