dartbrains-tools 0.1.3

Helper library and interactive anywidgets for the DartBrains fMRI course

dartbrains-tools

Helper library and interactive anywidgets for the DartBrains fMRI course. Extracted from the book repo so the widgets and helpers can be installed standalone — including in molab and pyodide/WASM marimo notebooks.

Install

pip install dartbrains-tools

# Optional: include marimo for notebook_utils.youtube()
pip install "dartbrains-tools[notebook]"

Modules

• dartbrains_tools.data — load the Pinel Localizer dataset from the Hugging Face Hub.
• dartbrains_tools.mr_simulations — Bloch equation solvers, signal generators, HRF, and Plotly visualization helpers.
• dartbrains_tools.mr_widgets — 10 anywidgets for interactive MR physics teaching (PrecessionWidget, SpinEnsembleWidget, KSpaceWidget, ConvolutionWidget, EncodingWidget, CompassWidget, NetMagnetizationWidget, TransformCubeWidget, CostFunctionWidget, SmoothingWidget).
• dartbrains_tools.notebook_utils — small marimo helpers (youtube).

Quick start

from dartbrains_tools.mr_widgets import PrecessionWidget

w = PrecessionWidget(b0=3.0, flip_angle=90.0)
w  # Interactive 3D Three.js animation in any anywidget host.

from dartbrains_tools.data import get_subjects, get_file, load_events

subjects = get_subjects()
bold = get_file("S01", "bold")
events = load_events("S01")
