nilearn.datasets.load_fsaverage¶
- nilearn.datasets.load_fsaverage(mesh='fsaverage5', data_dir=None)[source]¶
Load fsaverage for both hemispheres as PolyMesh objects.
- Parameters:
- mesh
str
, default=’fsaverage5’ Which mesh to fetch. Should be one of the following values:
“fsaverage3”: the low-resolution fsaverage3 mesh (642 nodes)
“fsaverage4”: the low-resolution fsaverage4 mesh (2562 nodes)
“fsaverage5”: the low-resolution fsaverage5 mesh (10242 nodes)
“fsaverage6”: the medium-resolution fsaverage6 mesh (40962 nodes)
“fsaverage7”: same as “fsaverage”
“fsaverage”: the high-resolution fsaverage mesh (163842 nodes)
Note
The high-resolution fsaverage will result in more computation time and memory usage
- data_dir
pathlib.Path
orstr
, 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
.
- mesh
- Returns:
- data
