FUGUE

Link to code

Wraps command fugue

FUGUE is, most generally, a set of tools for EPI distortion correction.

Distortions may be corrected for
  1. improving registration with non-distorted images (e.g. structurals), or
  2. dealing with motion-dependent changes.

FUGUE is designed to deal only with the first case - improving registration.

Examples
