mne.datasets.fetch_fsaverage

mne.datasets.fetch_fsaverage(subjects_dir=None, verbose=None)[source]

Fetch and update fsaverage.

Parameters
subjects_dirstr | None

The path to use as the subjects directory in the MNE-Python config file. None will use the existing config variable (i.e., will not change anything), and if it does not exist, will use ~/mne_data/MNE-fsaverage-data.

verbosebool, str, int, or None

If not None, override default verbose level (see mne.verbose() and Logging documentation for more). If used, it should be passed as a keyword-argument only.

Returns
fs_dirstr

The fsaverage directory. (essentially subjects_dir + '/fsaverage').

  1. All modern (Freesurfer 6) fsaverage subject files

  2. All MNE fsaverage parcellations

  3. fsaverage head surface, fiducials, head<->MRI trans, 1- and 3-layer BEMs (and surfaces)

This function will compare the contents of subjects_dir/fsaverage to the ones provided in the remote zip file. If any are missing, the zip file is downloaded and files are updated. No files will be overwritten.
