BrainMap Sleuth 1.2 ReadMe
Installation
Requirements:
- Java 1.5 or better
- 256 MB RAM
Macintosh:
If the disk image doesn't open automatically, then double-click on Sleuth.dmg. This should create a disk image called "Sleuth 1.2". Open the disk image and drag Sleuth to the Application folder. Double-click Sleuth to run the program.
Windows:
If the file doesn't unzip automatically, then double-click on Sleuth.zip. This should expand the file so that you should now have a folder called "Sleuth 1.2". Open the folder and follow the instructions in "How to Install Sleuth.txt". Double-click on Sleuth.exe to run the program.
Other Operating Systems:
Put Sleuth.jar where ever you like. You may be able to run Sleuth by double clicking on the jar. Alternatively, use the command:
java -cp /path/to/Sleuth.jar org.brainmap.Sleuth
What's New in Sleuth 1.2
New Features:
- Histograms: added support for paradigm classes, added color and abbreviations to behavioral domains, added cumulative counts on the left, and added ROI options for limiting the local data shown
- Added subject information and reference space to locations exported as text (for GingerALE)
- Added a MNI option in Preferences which applies to exporting locations as text or as an image
- Added an Edit menu with "Select All" and "Select None" options which apply to search results and workspace papers
- Several small changes to the workspace tab: added workspace name to the window title, added number of subjects at the top, and some tweaks and additions to the paper information shown
- Database Statistics now includes Paradigm Classes
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a ROI bug that caused duplications of ROIs
- Enabled AND logic in location searches
- Workspaces and exported files are now saved incrementally, so large workspaces will not run out of memory
- If an error occurs while downloading a workspace (especially a large one), Sleuth will continue to download most of the papers instead of giving up
- Cleaned up label tree in location search
- Supports Spaces in Mac OS X
What's New in Sleuth 1.1
New Features:
- With the release of Version 1.1, we have transitioned from an old version of the Oracle database to an improved database. Under this new database structure, it is now possible to perform all AND and OR searches at the Experiment level. This facilitates greater precision in obtaining search results. With the release of this new database version, we require that you manually login to Sleuth with your username and password, even if you previously set the software to remember these fields.
- Altered the existing network connections to support proxies so that there is now a "Use HTTP Proxy" option to preferences. Please consult your system administrator if you need to use proxies.
- Added better feedback when there's no internet connection
- Moved Color options out of Preferences to "Tools->Color Options"
- Added "Check For Updates" to Help menu
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a ROI management bug (Thanks Ulrich!)
- Sleuth now remembers previous setting for ROI cube checkbox
- Added better SearchList checking
What's New in Sleuth 1.0 (Equivalent to Search&View 3.3)
New Features:
- Simplified "ROI Options" window replaces the "New ROI" and "Edit ROI" windows
- ROI Coordinates can now be entered in either Talairach or MNI space (MNI coordinates are converted to Talairach space using the icbm2tal transform developed by Jack Lancaster)
- Added "Show Manual...", "Show Read Me..." and "Show License..." to the Help menu. These options show the manual (in .pdf format), readme, and license files in your default web browser
- "About" menu has been updated to include more information
- Added Export of "Locations (Image)". This option allows you to create an image of your foci in NIfTI format. No blurring of the coordinates is performed.
- Added "Short Description" to Brain Template in the workspace
Bug Fixes:
- Can now open & save workspaces (of imported data) when logged out
- PlotOptionDialog edits the correct location when sort order has been changed
- Scrollbar's arrow buttons now update the Plot (see "Known Issues")
- Changed Login Dialog so "Okay" is selected upon startup
- Save dialog file filter names are now more descriptive
Support
Known Issues:
- Using the arrow buttons to scroll the plot can be very slow.
On Windows and Linux systems, clicking the arrow buttons on the scrollbars will scroll very slowly because the Plot window is being repeatedly updated. The suggested work-arounds are either clicking the background of the scrollbars or using the scrollbar's "handle" instead of the arrow buttons. Both of those methods will be faster. This issue is due to the fact that JScrollBar.addMouseListener doesn't fire events when clicking on the arrow buttons on Windows and Linux. Also, AdjustmentEvent.getValueIsAdjusting() lies when holding down an arrow button. We are no longer working on this issue. Please use one of the work-arounds.
