This news is most unfortunate. We all appreciate the Freesurfer team's work. Freesurfer, and project's like these, provide a substantial multiplier effect to the productivity of the neuroscience community. There should be more funding for these types of neuroscience research infrastructure.

Hi Ed

I mean that the grant funding FreeSurfer maintainance didn't get renewed. We certainly will continue support and development, but it does have a substantial negative impact on the engineering we can do, such as getting rid of the 1mm restrictions.

cheers

Hi Bruce,
What do you mean: no support anymore or no new development?

Cheers,

      Hi Colin

      yes, but we simply don't have the person power to do it at the
      moment. Our
      FS support grant ends in a month and is not going to get
      renewed, so it's
      going to be hard to do anytime soon.

      sorry
      Bruce
