I am looking to map nifti volume coordinates to an atlas for fMRI to divide the brain into biological areas. As I see on FSL Wiki, there are many atlas available. Which one is better or which one is most commonly used.
Also I looked at Brainnetome Atlas, Would you suggest using this Atlas over the ones provided in FSL. If yes, then can I use this atlas with Atlasquery.
Please suggest.
This is a fantastic and thorough comparison: http://sci-hub.tw/http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811917303026

Thank you guys, really appreciate.
AFAIK there is no general answer to your question, as the choice of an atlas is fundamentally task-dependent. If you take a look at Nilearn, you see that we provide a bunch of atlas, with different resolution levels, to get a chance to capture the effect you’re looking for.

HI bthirion,
I agree that nilearn offers great variety of atlas options, but what I want to do is take my nifti volume and map each voxel coordinates to the atlas area. Do you know if I can do it with nilearn? For example http://nilearn.github.io/modules/reference.html#module-nilearn.regions has some functions for region manipulation, but I am not sure how they can be used to solve my problem. Sorry if it seems like a basic question. I am a beginner in Neuroscience.
If I undertsand, your probably need to use the dollowing object, that given an atlas, and a brain image, creates regions-level summaries of the data in the image.
HTH,
Bertrand
