http://code.google.com/p/panda-tool/

Software matlab toolbox for pipeline processing of diffusion MRI images. For each subject, PANDA can provide outputs in 2 types: i) diffusion parameter data that is ready for statistical analysis; ii) brain anatomical networks constructed by using diffusion tractography. Particularly, there are 3 types of resultant diffusion parameter data: WM atlas-level, voxel-level and TBSS-level. The brain network generated by PANDA has various edge definitions, e.g. fiber number, length, or FA-weighted. The key advantages of PANDA are as follows: # fully-automatic processing from raw DICOM/NIFTI to final outputs; # Supporting both sequential and parallel computation. The parallel environment can be a single desktop with multiple-cores or a computing cluster with a SGE system; # A very friendly GUI (graphical user interface).

http://brainmap.org/

A community database of published functional and structural neuroimaging experiments with both metadata descriptions of experimental design and activation locations in the form of stereotactic coordinates (x,y,z) in Talairach or MNI space. BrainMap provides not only data for meta-analyses and data mining, but also distributes software and concepts for quantitative integration of neuroimaging data. The goal of BrainMap is to develop software and tools to share neuroimaging results and enable meta-analysis of studies of human brain function and structure in healthy and diseased subjects. It is a tool to rapidly retrieve and understand studies in specific research domains, such as language, memory, attention, reasoning, emotion, and perception, and to perform meta-analyses of like studies. Brainmap contains the following software: # Sleuth: database searches and Talairach coordinate plotting (this application requires a username and password) # GingerALE: performs meta-analyses via the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method; also converts coordinates between MNI and Talairach spaces using icbm2tal # Scribe: database entry of published functional neuroimaging papers with coordinate results

https://vpixx.com/products/viewpixx-3d/

VIEWPixx /3D (VPixx Technologies) is a 1920x1080 resolution, 120 Hz, calibrated research-grade LCD monitor. It is designed for stereoscopic (3D) stimulus presentation and other high-dynamic vision-science paradigms where deterministic timing and synchronized I/O are critical. It pairs fast-response industrial TN LCD glass with a custom VPixx panel/video controller and a scanning direct-RGB LED backlight engineered to reduce motion artifacts/ghosting/crosstalk, and to improve spatial uniformity, while bypassing consumer “enhancement” processing for predictable experimental output. For stereoscopic workflows, VIEWPixx /3D supports 120 Hz frame-sequential 3D (60 Hz/eye) when used with 3DPixx active shutter glasses (RF emitter + glasses kit), and it can provide a dual-link DVI console output to mirror the participant's view without adding GPU load. The system is also a synchronized display + acquisition toolbox: integrated button-box interface, 24-channel TTL triggers, stereo audio I/O, and a full analog I/O subsystem are implemented on the same board as video control to enable microsecond-precision synchronization to video refresh—useful for EEG triggers, reaction-time tasks, and other timing-sensitive paradigms.In terms of bit depth, the VIEWPixx /3D is native 8 bits per colour, with support fot 10-bit resolution per RGB channel via custom video modes.

http://cobre.mrn.org/megsim/

Realistic simulated MEG datasets ranging from basic sensory to oscillatory sets that mimic functional connectivity; as well as basic visual, auditory, and somatosensory empirical sets. The simulated sets were created for the purpose of testing analysis algorithms across the different MEG systems when the truth is known. MEG baseline recordings were obtained from 5 healthy participants, using three MEG systems: VSM/CTF Omega, Elekta Neuromag Vectorview, 4-D Magnes 3600. Simulated signals were embedded within the CTF and Neuromag 306 baseline recordings (4-D to be added). Participant MRIs are available. Averaged simulation files are available as netcdf files. Neuromag 306 averaged simulations are also available in fif format. Also available: single trials of data where the simulated signal is jittered about a mean value, continuous fif files where the simulated signal is marked by a trigger, and simulations with oscillations added to mimic functional connectivity.

So far there is a lack for Random Field Theory (RFT) -based multiple comparison correction for surfaces generated in Freesurfer software package. This set of Matlab-based functions can be used for that purpose. They are based on Worsley?s SurfStat toolbox. You also need to have installed Freesurfer software package and included the Freesurfer?s matlab subdirectory in the Matlab?s search path. In addition, this tool implements the RFT-FDR hierarchical correction that can be used for optimizing the amount of smoothing in cortical thickness analyses (Neuroimage 52, 158-171).

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/ukftractography/

Software framework which uses an unscented Kalman filter for performing tractography. At each point on the fiber the most consistent direction is found as a mixture of previous estimates and of the local model. It is very easy to expand the framework and to implement new fiber representations for it. Currently it is possible to tract fibers using two different 1-, 2-, or 3-tensor methods. Both methods use a mixture of Gaussian tensors. One limits the diffusion ellipsoids to a cylindrical shape (the second and third eigenvalue are assumed to be identical) and the other one uses a full tensor representation. The project is written in C++. It could be used both as a Slicer3 module and as a standalone commandline application.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/shape_mancova/

shapeAnalysisMANCOVA offers statistical shape analysis based on a parametric boundary description (SPHARM) as the point-based model computing method. The point-based models will be analyzed with the methods here proposed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Here, the number of variates being tested is the dimensionality of our observations. Each point of these observations is a three dimensional displacement vector from the mean. The number of contrasts is the number of equations involved in the null-hypothesis. In order to encompass varying numbers of variates and contrasts, and to account for independent variables, a matrix computation is performed. This matrix represents the multidimensional aspects of the correlation significance and it can be transformed into a scalar measure by manipulation of its eigenvalues. Details of the methods can be found in its Insight Journal publication: http://hdl.handle.net/10380/3124

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/segadapter/

An open source learning-based software that automatically learns how to transfer the output of a host segmentation tool closer to the user's manual segmentation using the image data and manual segmentation provided by the user. The motivation of this project is to bridge the gap between the segmentation tool developer and the tool users such that the existing segmentation tools can more effectively serve the community. More and more automatic segmentation tools are publicly available to today's researchers. However, when applied by their end-users, these segmentation tools usually can not achieve the performance that the tool developer reported. Discrepancies between the tool developer and its users in manual segmentation protocols and imaging modalities are the main reasons for such inconsistency.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/pestica/

Software tool to detect physiologic signals from the data itself as well as an adaptive physiologic noise removal tool (Impulse Response Function or IRF-RETROICOR) that zooms in on noise with only 6 regressors, getting all the noise that 5th order RETROICOR gets. These tools will allow you to correct your data for physiologic noise with what you currently have. These signals are equivalent to a parallel monitored pulse signal and a respiratory chest-bellows signal. Do you have 3D+time EPI data (BOLD or perfusion) but no usable physio signals for pulse and respiration? Are you concerned about the effect of physio noise on your data but don't know what to do but regress data-derived signals that mix unknown functional signal with possible physio noise signal? Are you concerned about the number of regressors you're incorporating once you add 5th order RETROICOR (20 more regressors!)? This is for you.

http://nipy.org/nipype/

A package for writing fMRI analysis pipelines and interfacing with external analysis packages (SPM, FSL, AFNI). Current neuroimaging software offer users an incredible opportunity to analyze their data in different ways, with different underlying assumptions. However, this has resulted in a heterogeneous collection of specialized applications without transparent interoperability or a uniform operating interface. Nipype, an open-source, community-developed initiative under the umbrella of Nipy, is a Python project that solves these issues by providing a uniform interface to existing neuroimaging software and by facilitating interaction between these packages within a single workflow. Nipype provides an environment that encourages interactive exploration of algorithms from different packages (e.g., SPM, FSL), eases the design of workflows within and between packages, and reduces the learning curve necessary to use different packages. Nipype is creating a collaborative platform for neuroimaging software development in a high-level language and addressing limitations of existing pipeline systems.

http://www.biological-networks.org/p/outliers/

Software that performs a morphology-based approach for the automatic identification of outlier neurons based on neuronal tree structures. This tool was used by Zawadzki et al. (2012), who reported on and its application to the NeuroMorpho database. For the analysis, each neuron is represented by a feature vector composed of 20 measurements, which are projected into lower dimensional space with PCA. Bivariate kernel density estimation is then used to obtain a probability distribution for cells. Cells with high probabilities are understood as archetypes, while those with the small probabilities are classified as outliers. Further details about the method and its application in other domains can be found in Costa et al. (2009) and Echtermeyer et al. (2011). This version requires Matlab (Mathworks Inc, Natick, USA) and allows the user to apply the workflow using a graphical user interface.
