Neuroimaging in python

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:

1. Provide an open source, mixed language scientific programming

   environment suitable for rapid development.

2. Create sofware components in this environment to make it easy

   to develop tools for MRI, EEG, PET and other modalities.

3. Create and maintain a wide base of developers to contribute to

   this platform.

4. 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.
