FUNC
This page is a resource for FUNC users.
Anyone new to the lab and using FUNC NEEDS to read the first section to have adequate working knowledge of the system.
Getting Started
Introduction
FUNC is a Computing Cluster at UCLA, housed in the Psychology Department and dedicated to storage and analysis of MRI data.
Getting an Account
To get an account you should contact Mark Strohm making sure you include your affiliation and the lab/group you are in, and cc-ing your mentor/supervisor.
Accessing the Cluster
How to get on the FUNC (once you have a username/password).
Working in a UNIX Environment
Never heard of a command line before? Vaguely know what "permissions" are and have no idea how to navigate a filesystem? This page is meant to take the scare out of the words "command line" so you can actually use Hoffman2, because no matter how many GUIs there are, command line is king.
Data Transfer
Getting data on the FUNC
Software
MATLAB
How to use MATLAB on the cluster. It is easier than you think. (Well, maybe...)
NeuroImaging (MR) Analysis Software Packages
SPM
Maybe FSL isn't your cup of tea for neuroimaging work. SPM is a capable alternative and, even though it is MATLAB based, it has a compiled version that will let you leverage the power of the cluster.
AFNI
Maybe FSL isn't your cup of tea for neuroimaging work. SPM is a capable alternative and, even though it is MATLAB based, it has a compiled version that will let you leverage the power of the cluster.
FSL
FSL is a comprehensive library of analysis tools for FMRI, MRI and DTI brain imaging data.
Full List of Software
Here you can find a list on what software is available on the FUNC (and sometimes some details on usage).
Productivity
How about streamlining some of those tasks, or getting more things done.
