Brain Surrogate Maps with Autocorrelated Spatial Heterogeneity.

BrainSMASH

BrainSMASH (Brain Surrogate Maps with Autocorrelated Spatial Heterogeneity) is a Python-based computational platform for statistical testing of spatially autocorrelated brain maps. At the heart of BrainSMASH is the ability to simulate surrogate brain maps with spatial autocorrelation that is matched to spatial autocorrelation in a target brain map. Additional utilities are provided for users using Connectome Workbench style surface-based neuroimaging files.

Exhaustive documentation can be found here.

Dependencies

Installing BrainSMASH requires:

• Python 3+
• numpy
• scipy
• pandas
• nibabel
• matplotlib
• scikit-learn

If you wish to use the additional utilities provided for Connectome Workbench users, you must have Connectome Workbench installed with the wb_command executable locatable in your system PATH environment variable.
