@Install_NMT


Overview

Installs the NIMH Macaque Template (NMT) with the accompanying
Cortical Hierarchy Atlas of the Rhesus Macaque (CHARM).

Note there are multiple versions and variants of the template to
choose from (see the "-ver .." and "-sym .." options, below), with
the default being the symmetric NMT v2.1.

The NMT v2 and the CHARM are described in:

   Jung B, Taylor PA, Seidlitz PA, Sponheim C, Perkins P, Glen DR,
   Messinger A (2021). A Comprehensive Macaque FMRI Pipeline and
   Hierarchical Atlas. NeuroImage 235:117997.
   https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.117997.

while the previous template versions (the NMT v1.2 and NMT v1.3) are
described in:

   Seidlitz J, Sponheim C, Glen DR, Ye FQ, Saleem KS, Leopold DA,
   Ungerleider L, Messinger A (2018). A Population MRI Brain
   Template and Analysis Tools for the Macaque. NeuroImage 170:
   121–31. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.04.063.

** Please cite Jung et al. (2021) and/or Seidlitz et al. (2018) if
you make use of the respective templates in your work. **

After the archive is downloaded and unpacked (as the directory
"NMT_*", depending on your selected version+variant), see its
README.txt for details.
