Software package for functional imaging of human brain. Used to compute three dimensional distribution of electric neuronal activity from non-invasive measurements of scalp electric potential differences with high time resolution in millisecond range. Non-invasive intracranial time series are used for studying functional dynamic connectivity.. Current software version includes two new, improved variants of the original method: standardized (sLORETA) and exact (eLORETA). The new methods are characterized by exact localization when tested with point sources. Due to the fact that these methods are multivariate tomographies that are solutions to the inverse EEG problem, and that they are linear in nature, they will produce a low spatial resolution image for any distribution of activity. This property is not shared by naive one-at-a-time single dipole techniques.

http://www.pymvpa.org

A Python package intended to ease statistical learning analyses of large datasets. It offers an extensible framework with a high-level interface to a broad range of algorithms for classification, regression, feature selection, data import and export. While it is not limited to the neuroimaging domain, it is eminently suited for such datasets. PyMVPA is truly free software (in every respect) and additionally requires nothing but free-software to run. Decoding patterns of neural activity onto cognitive states is one of the central goals of functional brain imaging. Standard univariate fMRI analysis methods, which correlate cognitive and perceptual function with the blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) signal, have proven successful in identifying anatomical regions based on signal increases during cognitive and perceptual tasks. Recently, researchers have begun to explore new multivariate techniques that have proven to be more flexible, more reliable, and more sensitive than standard univariate analysis. Drawing on the field of statistical learning theory, these new classifier-based analysis techniques possess explanatory power that could provide new insights into the functional properties of the brain. However, unlike the wealth of software packages for univariate analyses, there are few packages that facilitate multivariate pattern classification analyses of fMRI data. This Python-based, cross-platform, open-source software toolbox software toolbox for the application of classifier-based analysis techniques to fMRI datasets makes use of Python's ability to access libraries written in a large variety of programming languages and computing environments to interface with the wealth of existing machine learning packages.

http://www.ppmi-info.org/

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.

The atlas shows the inter-subject anatomic variability of the fetal brain over the fetal brain growth period and is currently available between 27 weeks gestational age to 35 weeks. It has been constructed following an unbiased minimum distance template estimation approach which utilizes symmetric diffeomorphic deformation and the cross-correlation (CC) similarity metric integrated with kernel regression in age.

http://www.loni.usc.edu/Software/Debabeler

Software to manage the conversion of imaging data from one file format and convention to another. It consists of a graphical user interface to visually program the translations, and a data translation engine to read, sort and translate the input files, and write the output files to disk. The data translation engine: (1) Reads metadata from a set of image files on disk to identify the source that produced each file; (2) Groups the image files into user-defined collections using image metadata values; (3) Translates each image file collection by reading metadata and pixel data and mapping the data into the appropriate output file format through a programmable set of connected modules. The Debabeler uses the Java Image I/O Plugin Architecture to read and write a wide variety of common medical image file formats, including ANALYZE, MINC, and most variations of DICOM.

http://labs.nri.ucsb.edu/reese/benjamin/SA3D.html

A user-friendly, graphical user interface (GUI) that allows statistical and visual manipulations of real and simulated three-dimensional spatial point patterns. The analyses use files containing sets of X, Y, Z coordinates. These point patterns are frequently coordinates of cells of specific cell classes within in volumes of tissue derived from microscopy analyses. The analyses are scale independent so spatial analyses of coordinates from larger and smaller scale distributions are possible. The software can also generate sample sets of X, Y, Z coordinates for program exploration and modeling purposes.
