% This folder is part of the fanDTasia ToolBox: a Matlab library for Diffusion 
% Weighted MRI (DW-MRI) Processing, Diffusion Tensor (DTI) Estimation, High-order 
% Diffusion Tensor Analysis, Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) Estimation,
% Tensor ODF estimation, Visualization and more.

% A Matlab Tutorial on DW-MRI can be found in:
% http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~abarmpou/lab/fanDTasia/tutorial.php
%
%-USE--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%
% There are several DEMO files, which will guide you in the fanDTasia library.
% Each DEMO filename starts with DEMO_..... and can be executed as a stand alone script.
% The DEMO files are appropriately commented and contain user manual and examples.
