Cartool Releases

2024-04-15 Cartool 5.00 (091F680):

This is the first official release from the new Cartool Open Source project! Migration from "closed source" Cartool to the open source needed quite some rewrite, among which were:

• Global Optimization fully revamped, with better search methods like Sagittal Plane or Transverse Plane searches

• Krios scanner electrodes conversion, template electrodes creation

• Interactive electrodes coregistration improved

• Switched to Armadillo linear algebra library

• Using Intel OneMKL highly optimized BLAS, LAPACK and FFT functions

• Electrodes Delaunay traingulation improved

• A lot of code refactoring to separate all GUI from actual processing

• Changed the output of Inverse Matrices creation: main directory contains a copy of the original MRIs

• Changed the "Major.minor (build)" SVN scheme to "Major.minor (revision code)", due to the use of Git / GitHub

• A lot of testing was done, but there were so many changes that some glitches might happen...

2023-01-18 Cartool64 build 7658:

Last official build from the "closed source" Cartool.

2022-12-06 Cartool64 build 7608:

• Changed the Inverse Matrices dialog layout:

  • In the MRI box, there is an additional entry for a Segmented Tissues file. This optional file should label all the tissues from the full head, and if provided, can be used in the Lead Field box. The MNI asymmetric 2009c tissues file is provided in the "MNI Kit", available from the Download page.

  • The Lead Field box has been slightly revamped, and the Presets simplified. A new option is now available: either using the T1 MRI to estimate the various tissues, or using the provided Segmented Tissues file (c.f. first point). The T1 MRI option is how Cartool used to estimate the tissues, it is quite robust even for patients. The second option, using the Tissues file, is the last addition and is recommended for its improved accuracy. Of course, if the segmented tissues file does not exist, you will have to resort to the T1 MRI option anyway...

• Creating ROIs from solution points has been updated to work with the AAL3v1 version of the AAL.

• The following Help topics have been updated:

  • Creating Inverse Matrices

  • ROIs computation

  • Coregistration of electrodes

2022-10-18 Cartool64 build 7573:

• Important fix when computing the Grey Matter mask from a brain. Masks were too thin for proper solution points extraction.

• When computing Solution Points, it is now possible to specify a resolution in [mm] instead of the number of points.

2022-10-14 Cartool64 build 7561:

• Bumped the now official release to 4.10

• Added the use of scroller wheel in tracks display to move up and down.

• Control + scroller wheel will zoom in and out by default in all windows. For tracks, it will zoom into the data.

• Boosting the Tracks Interpolation when interpolation tracks and downsampling the number of electrodes.

• Inverse Matrix computation: changed the subject vs template presets.

• New splash screen to celebrate the 64bit version!

• Fitting output used to badly renumber the input files, changing the original numbering that could exist. Fixed so that the output matches the input.

2022-10-12:

Cartool64 is now officially available for all! After a tedious migration from 32 to 64 bit platform, Cartool (now renamed Cartool64) can run natively on 64bit Windows. Which means much faster computations, depending on your computer, up to 15 times. And using all the available memory, which comes in handy for resting states analysis.

The last 32bit Cartool (version 6647) is still available for download, as a landmark for comparisons. It is totally possible to have both the old 32bit and the newest 64bit versions installed. Just be careful which one you use! Also note that many bugs on this older version have since been fixed.

2021-05-11:

Cartool 3.91(6647) will be the last Cartool 32bit version built on the old Borland compiler. All coming versions will be a totally new port to 64bit and Visual Studio.
