9.2.2. Glass brain plotting in nilearn¶
See Plotting brain images for more plotting functionalities.
9.2.2.1. Retrieve data from Internet¶
from nilearn import datasets
motor_images = datasets.fetch_neurovault_motor_task()
stat_img = motor_images.images[0]
9.2.2.2. Glass brain plotting: whole brain sagittal cuts¶
from nilearn import plotting
plotting.plot_glass_brain(stat_img, threshold=3)

Out:
<nilearn.plotting.displays.OrthoProjector object at 0x7f8bfc45cfa0>
9.2.2.3. Glass brain plotting: black background¶
On a black background (option “black_bg”), and with only the x and the z view (option “display_mode”).
plotting.plot_glass_brain(
stat_img, title='plot_glass_brain',
black_bg=True, display_mode='xz', threshold=3)

Out:
<nilearn.plotting.displays.XZProjector object at 0x7f8bfc075d60>
9.2.2.4. Glass brain plotting: Hemispheric sagittal cuts¶
plotting.plot_glass_brain(stat_img,
title='plot_glass_brain with display_mode="lyrz"',
display_mode='lyrz', threshold=3)
plotting.show()
