Just the basic is ok. Although I have not done it in a while, you should also be able to use octave (which is free). Once you get octave install and in your path, set the env variable FS_USE_OCTAVE to 1. Like I said, I have not used it in a while, but it I think it should still work.

        External Email - Use Caution        

Dear Freesurfer team, 

I am new to freesurfer and I'm working on learning how to pre process and analyze resting state fMRI. It's my understanding that MATLAB and FSL have to run in the background from what I took away from online tutorials. Is there a specific program within MATLAB that is necessary or will purchasing the basic student package from MATLAB be sufficient? 

Thank you for your time!
