Intro
The developers of (FreeSurfer)[www.freesurfer.net] have put videos of their 2013 training course online to YouTube. The PowerPoint slides they used in the course are also freely distributed on their website. This gives the new Freesurfer users like me a great way to learn about this neuroimaging data processing and analysis tool. I am truly thankful for the generous of the FreeSerfer team for making the course lectures available online. It is really nice that I can take the courses in my own time and on my own pace. And it does not really cost me anything. All I need is, well, to fight with my procrastination.
One thing I found not very good is that the videos on
the FreeSurfer YouTube channel is not organized well enough. I had to constantly refer back to the
course schedule to figure out which video should I watch after one ends. So I pulled all the links for the videos and corresponding slides together and arranged them according to the course schedule. The organized links are shared below.
Please note that only the talk session were put online. Most of the tutorials and demonstrations module of the course were not available in the form of videos. There are, however, the web links to the tutorial materials (which I also have the links) are available. It is very important to go through the tutorials if you really want to master the Freesurfer software. Hope the organized links are useful to you. Cheers~~
