How to run ExploreASL using Matlab
The first thing you have to do, to use ExploreASL, is to clone the ExploreASL repository. If you want to run ExploreASL from Matlab, we recommend to clone the main repository directly from the official GitHub website. You also have the option to download the zipped version or to download an older release.
If you are new to Matlab, we recommend checking out a Matlab tutorial. It can be helpful to add the ExploreASL directory to your Matlab paths. Open Matlab, select the Home tab, and add the ExploreASL directory including its subfolders using the Set Path option. Now change your working directory, using the Current Folder tab or the cd command, to the ExploreASL directory.
To run ExploreASL you have to type in the following command in the Command Window: ExploreASL. If you already created an ASL-BIDS dataset, you can run the full default ExploreASL pipeline like this:
DataParPath = 'C:\...\MY-BIDS-DATASET\DataParFile.json';
ProcessData = true;
SkipPause = true;
[x] = ExploreASL_Master(DataParPath, ProcessData, SkipPause);
