mne.grow_labels¶
- mne.grow_labels(subject, seeds, extents, hemis, subjects_dir=None, n_jobs=1, overlap=True, names=None, surface='white', colors=None)[source]¶
Generate circular labels in source space with region growing.
This function generates a number of labels in source space by growing regions starting from the vertices defined in “seeds”. For each seed, a label is generated containing all vertices within a maximum geodesic distance on the white matter surface from the seed.
- Parameters
- subject
str
Name of the subject as in SUBJECTS_DIR.
- seeds
int
|list
Seed, or list of seeds. Each seed can be either a vertex number or a list of vertex numbers.
- extents
array
|float
Extents (radius in mm) of the labels.
- hemis
array
|int
Hemispheres to use for the labels (0: left, 1: right).
- subjects_dir
str
|None
The path to the FreeSurfer subjects reconstructions. It corresponds to FreeSurfer environment variable
SUBJECTS_DIR
.- n_jobs
int
The number of jobs to run in parallel (default 1). Requires the joblib package. Likely only useful if tens or hundreds of labels are being expanded simultaneously. Does not apply with
overlap=False
.- overlapbool
Produce overlapping labels. If True (default), the resulting labels can be overlapping. If False, each label will be grown one step at a time, and occupied territory will not be invaded.
- names
None
|list
ofstr
Assign names to the new labels (list needs to have the same length as seeds).
- surface
str
The surface used to grow the labels, defaults to the white surface.
- colors
array
, shape (n, 4) or (, 4) |None
How to assign colors to each label. If None then unique colors will be chosen automatically (default), otherwise colors will be broadcast from the array. The first three values will be interpreted as RGB colors and the fourth column as the alpha value (commonly 1).
- subject
- Returns
Notes
“extents” and “hemis” can either be arrays with the same length as seeds, which allows using a different extent and hemisphere for label, or integers, in which case the same extent and hemisphere is used for each label.
