PyNIfTI is no longer actively developed. At has been superseded by NiBabel -- a pure-Python package that provides everything that PyNIfTI could do, and a lot more. The PyNIfTI module is a Python interface to the NIfTI I/O libraries. Using PyNIfTI, one can easily read and write NIfTI and ANALYZE images from within Python. The NiftiImage class provides pythonic access to the full header information and for a maximum of interoperability the image data is made available via NumPy arrays.

A free, user-friendly software package that allows researchers to record and analyze hand movements traveling toward potential responses on the screen (via the x, y coordinates of the computer mouse). By looking at the dynamics of how participants' hand movements settle into a response alternative--and how they may be partially pulled toward other alternatives--researchers glean valuable information about real-time cognitive processing. It's like opening up a single reaction time into a continuous stream of rich cognitive output. MouseTracker has impressive temporal resolution, comparable to eye-tracking and event-related brain potential (ERP) measures. Experiments can incorporate images, letter strings, sounds, and videos. Once recorded, mouse trajectories can be visualized, averaged, and explored, and measures of attraction/curvature, complexity, velocity, and acceleration can be computed. Precise characterizations of mouse trajectories' temporal and spatial dynamics are available, and these can shed light on a variety of important empirical questions across psychology, cognitive science, and beyond.

https://vpixx.com/products/viewpixx/

Research-grade, CRT-replacement LCD display system for vision science and psychophysics. It combines a 22.5″ 1920×1200 industrial LCD (wide 176°/176° viewing angles) with a custom panel/video controller engineered for deterministic stimulus timing and synchronized acquisition. The display supports 12-bit intensity resolution per RGB channel via custom video modes. It uses a scanning RGB LED backlight to improve temporal precision (e.g., crisp frame transitions and reduced motion artifacts) while bypassing consumer “enhancement” processing to keep output predictable for experiments. VIEWPixx also integrates microsecond-synchronized peripherals commonly needed in timing-sensitive paradigms—24-channel TTL I/O (triggers), stereo audio I/O, analog I/O, and a button-box interface—implemented on the same board as the video pipeline for tight hardware-to-video synchronization.

Unique DLP LED projector which has been designed to be the most flexible display solution for vision research and neuroscience research. The PROPixx features a native resolution of 1920 x 1080, and can be driven with refresh rate up to 500Hz with deterministic timing. The PROPixx uses high brightness LEDs as a light source, giving a wide colour gamut and much longer lifetime than halogen light sources. It features high-bit depth, up to 12-bit per color for high-frequency full colour stimulation. For stereo vision applications, our high-speed ferro-electric circular polarizer can project stereoscopic stimuli with the use of passive glasses at up to 400Hz. In addition the PROPixx includes an array of peripherals which often need to be synchronized to video during an experiment, and with perfect microsecond precision.

Coordinated and targeted service, training, and research to speed the development and enhance the utility of informatics tools related to neuroimaging. The initial focus will be on tools that are used in fMRI. If NIfTI proves useful in addressing informatics issues in the fMRI research community, it may be expanded to address similar issues in other areas of neuroimaging. Objectives of NIfTI * Enhancement of existing informatics tools used widely in neuroimaging research * Dissemination of neuroimaging informatics tools and information about them * Community-based approaches to solving common problems, such as lack of interoperability of tools and data * Unique training activities and research career development opportunities to those in the tool-user and tool-developer communities * Research and development of the next generation of neuroimaging informatics tools

An observational longitudinal clinical study partnership to identify and validate biomarkers of Parkinson disease (PD) progression and provide easy and open web-based access to the comprehensive set of correlated clinical data and biospecimens, information, and biosamples acquired from PD and age and gender matched healthy control subjects to the research community. The data and specimens have been collected in a standardized manner under strict protocols and includes clinical (demographic, motor and non-motor, cognitive and neurobehavioral), imaging (raw and processed MRI, SPECT and DAT), and blood chemistry and hematology subject assessments and biospecimen inventories (serum, plasma, whole blood, CSF, DNA, RNA and urine). All data are de-identified to protect patient privacy. PPMI will be carried out over five years at 21 clinical sites in the United States and Europe and requires the participation of 400 Parkinson's patients and 200 control participants. The PPMI database provides researchers with access to correlated clinical and imaging data, along with annotated biospecimens, all available within an open access system that encourages data sharing (http://www.ppmi-info.org/access-data-specimens/). The website hosts an Ongoing Analysis section to keep the scientific community apprised of analyses being completed, in hopes of stimulating collaborations between researchers who are using PPMI data and specimens.

Matlab toolbox for testing hypotheses about the human connectome. NBS has been widely used to identify connections and networks comprising the connectome that are associated with an experimental effect or a between-group difference. User provides a series of connectivity matrices from different cohorts, or from the same subject during different experimental conditions. Connectivity matrices are inferred from neuroimaging data using other packages that, for example, count the number of tractography streamlines that interconnect each pair of regions (diffusion-MRI), or measure the extent of inter-regional correlation in BOLD response (fMRI). User specifies hypothesis to be tested at every connection with the general linear model. Features include: graphical user interface; NBSview, a basic network viewer modeled on SPMresults; exchange blocks for repeated measures; options to measure network size with intensity or extent; false discovery rate (FDR) option. Developed by Zalesky, Fornito, Cocchi and Bullmore.
