- nilearn.datasets.fetch_atlas_aal(version='SPM12', data_dir=None, url=None, resume=True, verbose=1)[source]¶
Downloads and returns the AAL template for SPM 12.
This atlas is the result of an automated anatomical parcellation of the spatially normalized single-subject high-resolution T1 volume provided by the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) (D. L. Collins et al., 1998, Trans. Med. Imag. 17, 463-468, PubMed).
For more information on this dataset’s structure, see 1, and 2.
