This is the BrainSpace repo for the BrainWeb BrainHack. Our goal for this BrainHack is to improve BrainSpace's handling and visualization of volumetric data. BrainSpace is implemented in both MATLAB and Python, so we hope users of both languages will join us! Don't have a lot of experience with those? Help us make our toolbox easy to use for non-programmers! Join us on mattermost.
BrainSpace is a lightweight cross-platform toolbox primarily intended for macroscale gradient mapping and analysis of neuroimaging and connectome level data. The current version of BrainSpace is available in Python and MATLAB, programming languages widely used by the neuroimaging and network neuroscience communities. The toolbox also contains several maps that allow for exploratory analysis of gradient correspondence with other brain-derived features, together with tools to generate spatial null models.
For installation instructions, examples and documentation of BrainSpace see our documentation.
Happy gradient analysis!
