Download

• You can get the latest version of BRANT from

  https://github.com/YongLiuLab/brant-stable/archive/master.zip

• Some functions are based on SPM, you can get it from

  http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/spm12

• Circos in STEP 8 can be downloaded from

  http://circos.ca/distribution/circos-0.69-5.tgz

• Unzip the brant-master.zip file and move both brant and spm12 folders to /path/of/toolbox. (The path can be anywhere in your computer as long as it’s in English)
• Configure SPM paths:
  1. Click Set Path in MATLAB
  2. Click add folder
  3. Select SPM’s root folder
  4. Run spm fmri in MATLAB’s Command Window to let spm add its subfolders. (Note that some SPM’s subfolders are called internally in SPM and should not be added in MATLAB’s search path. Scripts in those folders are conflicting with MATLAB functions, and could cause untraceable errors)
• Configure BRANT paths:
  1. Click Set Path in MATLAB
  2. Click Add with subfolders
  3. Select the unzipped BRANT folder
  4. Click Save.

Tip

• An alternative way to configure both SPM and BRANT Paths:

  • Run in MATLAB’s Command Window:

    • cd('/path/of/unzipped/brant/'); % to set current working directory to the unzipped brant
    • brant_configure_paths; % to add BRANT paths (same as add with subfolders)
    • brant_configure_paths('/path/of/spm12/'); % to add SPM paths
