brainglobe 0.1.0

Python-based tools for computational neuroanatomy.

brainglobe

The BrainGlobe Initiative exists to facilitate the development of interoperable Python-based tools for computational neuroanatomy.

We have three aims:

• Develop specialist software for specific analysis and visualisation needs, such as cellfinder and brainrender.

• Develop core tools to facilitate others to build interoperable tools in Python, e.g. the BrainGlobe Atlas API.

• Build a community of neuroscientists and developers to share knowledge, build software and engage with the scientific, and open-source community (e.g. by organising hackathons).

Funding Information

The BrainGlobe project is only possible due to grant funding and the generous support of host institutions, whose information can be found on this website.

Installation

The brainglobe package can be installed from PyPI into a Python environment by running

pip install brainglobe

If you want to install the additional packages morphapi and cellfinder, you can specify them as optional dependencies:

pip install brainglobe[morphapi] # Include morphapi
pip install brainglobe[cellfinder] # Include cellfinder
pip install brainglobe[morphapi,cellfinder] # Include both morphapi and cellfinder

Alternatively, you can download the source from PyPI here.

Contributing

Contributors to BrainGlobe are absolutely encouraged, whether to fix a bug, develop a new feature, or add a new atlas. If you would like to contribute, please take a look at our developer documentation.
