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.
