The HCP Pipelines are a set of tools (primarily, but not exclusively, shell scripts) for processing MRI images for the Human Connectome Project . For v4.3.0 of the HCP Pipelines, we recommend installation of FSL 6.0.4, FreeSurfer v6.0 (Not v7.X), and Connectome Workbench v1.4.2. See the Installation and Usage Instructions in the GitHub repository for detailed information on prerequisite software versions, installation and processing instructions, example data, and processing resource requirements. Answers to frequently asked questions can also be found on our Github Repository: HCP Pipeline FAQ.
