Glass brain plotting in nilearn¶
See Plotting brain images for more plotting functionalities.
Load data¶
from nilearn import datasets
stat_img = datasets.load_sample_motor_activation_image()
Glass brain plotting: whole brain sagittal cuts¶
from nilearn import plotting
plotting.plot_glass_brain(stat_img, threshold=3)

<nilearn.plotting.displays._projectors.OrthoProjector object at 0x7f9c47843640>
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,
)

<nilearn.plotting.displays._projectors.XZProjector object at 0x7f9c6a04ee90>
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()
