nilearn.datasets.fetch_atlas_msdl¶
- nilearn.datasets.fetch_atlas_msdl(data_dir=None, url=None, resume=True, verbose=1)[source]¶
Download and load the MSDL brain Probabilistic atlas.
It can be downloaded at Spatially Constrained Parcellation[1], and cited using Varoquaux et al.[2]. See also Varoquaux and Craddock[3] for more information.
- Parameters:
- data_dir
pathlib.Path
orstr
or None, optional Path where data should be downloaded. By default, files are downloaded in a
nilearn_data
folder in the home directory of the user. See alsonilearn.datasets.utils.get_data_dirs
.- url
str
or None, default=None URL of file to download. Override download URL. Used for test only (or if you setup a mirror of the data).
- resume
bool
, default=True Whether to resume download of a partly-downloaded file.
- verbose
int
, default=1 Verbosity level (0 means no message).
- data_dir
- Returns:
- data
sklearn.utils.Bunch
Dictionary-like object, the interest attributes are :
- ‘maps’:
str
path to nifti file containing the Probabilistic atlas image (shape is equal to
(40, 48, 35, 39)
).
- ‘maps’:
- ‘description’
str
Description of the dataset.
- ‘description’
- ‘atlas_type’
str
Type of atlas. See Probabilistic atlas and Deterministic atlas.
- ‘atlas_type’
- ‘template’
str
The standardized space of analysis in which the atlas results are provided. When known it should be a valid template name taken from the spaces described in the BIDS specification.
- ‘template’
- data
