Nistats is a Python module for fast and easy modeling and statistical analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging data.
It leverages the nilearn Python toolbox for neuroimaging data manipulation (data downloading, visualization, masking).
This work is made available by a community of people, amongst which the INRIA Parietal Project Team and D'esposito lab at Berkeley, in particular G. Varoquaux, B. Thirion, J.B. Poline and M. Brett.
It is based on developments initiated in the nipy nipy project.
