Introduction

This is a collection of handy small tools for analyzing neuroimaging data (esp. high resolution fMRI), which can be used both as a Python package and a set of command line tools. It is a useful augmentation to the AFNI tool chain.

Documentation

The latest mripy documentation is available online.

Installation (in linux/mac)

Install AFNI and FreeSurfer

Please follow the instructions in their official websites (AFNI, FreeSurfer).

Install mripy

Download and install the mripy package:

Set $PATH for using the package scripts in the terminal. For bash, the commands look like:

$ export PATH="path/to/mripy/scripts":$PATH

The path could be something like "~/anaconda3/lib/Python3.8/site-packages/mripy/scripts".
