LayNii: A software suite for layer-fMRI

Purpose of the release

LN2_MULTILATERATE and LN2_PATCH_FLATTEN focused release to serve as a checkpoint for:

• Gulban, O. F., Bollmann, S., Huber, R., Wagstyl, K., Goebel, R., Poser, B. A., Kay, K., Ivanov, D. (2021). Mesoscopic Quantification of Cortical Architecture in the Living Human Brain. BioRxiv. https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.11.25.470023

• LN2_LAYERS now outputs approximately equal number of voxels for each layer with -equal_counts flag. This option can be useful for low resolution inputs (e.g. > 0.5 mm iso.). Care must be taken when activating this flag because it will equalize the number of voxels for each layer without respecting equi-distant and equi-volume cortical depth measurements.
• LN_RAGRUG now has -scale parameter to create rectangular tessellations at lower resolutions (integer multiples of the input voxel dimensions.
