**PAGE UNDER DEVELOPMENT**

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, dedicated to storage and analysis of neuroimaging data. FUNC is located on the 2nd floor of Franz Hall behind the undergrad computing lounge. The key for FUNC is numbered 8337, you can get one from the main office.

FUNC:Detail

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. (Note that accounts on the FUNC are currently restricted to UCLA personnel and collaborators.)

Accessing the Cluster

How to get on the FUNC (once you have a username/password).

FUNC:Accessing the Cluster

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

Importing data from the Staglin CCN (DICOMSERVER)

Importing data from the Brain Mapping Center (BMC)

Software

MATLAB

How to use MATLAB on the cluster. It is easier than you think. (Well, maybe...)

Hoffman2:MATLAB

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.

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.
