NIPY
Neuroimaging tools for Python.
The aim of NIPY is to produce a platform-independent Python environment for the
analysis of functional brain imaging data using an open development model.
In NIPY we aim to:
-
Provide an open source, mixed language scientific programming
environment suitable for rapid development. -
Create sofware components in this environment to make it easy
to develop tools for MRI, EEG, PET and other modalities. -
Create and maintain a wide base of developers to contribute to
this platform. -
To maintain and develop this framework as a single, easily
installable bundle.
NIPY is the work of many people. We list the main authors in the file AUTHOR
in the NIPY distribution, and other contributions in THANKS.
