Many people have contributed to FreeSurfer over the years, and I would like to acknowledge them. First and foremost are Anders Dale and Marty Sereno who developed some of the initial tools, and also had many of the key technological and neuroscientific insights that made FreeSurfer possible. Doug Greve, who understands the intricacies of fMRI analysis as well as anyone in the world, is the primary author of almost all the functional analysis tools distributed with FreeSurfer (FS-FAST). Other early contributors and developers include Sean Marrett, Kevin Teich, Yasunari Tosa and Thomas Witzel, and more recently Ruopeng Wang and Krish Subramanian as well as Richard Edgar who reported a number of binaries to run on the GPU with remarkable speed increases. Nick Schmansky has been the lead engineer for many years, and is responsible for taking a loosely organized set of binaries and turning it into a well-documented, extensively tested, easy to install and use (relatively!) suite of tools. Andre van der Kouwe has been the key developer of sequences that are optimal with respect to brain morphometry, and more
