fsbrain

The fsbrain R package provides a well-tested and consistent interface to neuroimaging data in R. It supports reading, writing, and visualizing various kinds of raw data and statistical results on brain surfaces and volumes. While the package provides a very convenient interface for working with data arranged in the standard FreeSurfer directory structure (SUBJECTS_DIR), fsbrain is not limited to this layout or FreeSurfer file formats. You can load brain meshes, volumes, and data from a range of other neuroimaging software packages and visualize them.

The plots produced by fsbrain can be integrated into R notebooks or written to high-quality bitmap image files, ready for publication. The rgl renderer used by fsbrain provides fast, hardware-accelerated rendering based on the OpenGL standard.
