Among others, FSL offers implementations of standard GLM analysis, white matter tractography, tissue segmentation, affine and non-linear co-registration, and independent component analysis. Some FSL components require additional data packages (fsl-atlases, fsl-first-data, fsl-possum-data) that are currently available from the NeuroDebian repository only. For more information on how to obtain these data packages visit http://neuro.debian.net. Users aiming to perform a complete FSL 5.0 installation (including all data components) are advised to install the 'fsl-5.0-complete' package from NeuroDebian.
