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.localizer — load the Pinel Localizer dataset from the Hugging Face Hub. The same API is re-exported at dartbrains_tools.data for back-compat.
  • dartbrains_tools.data.sherlock — load the Sherlock naturalistic-fMRI dataset (Chen et al. 2017).
  • dartbrains_tools.data.paranoia — load the Paranoia naturalistic-fMRI dataset (Finn et al. 2018).
  • 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.
# Localizer (default; back-compat — also works as dartbrains_tools.data.localizer)
from dartbrains_tools.data import get_subjects, get_file, load_events

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

# Sherlock
from dartbrains_tools.data import sherlock

bold = sherlock.get_file("sub-01", task="sherlockPart1", suffix="bold")
onsets = sherlock.load_onsets("watch")

# Paranoia
from dartbrains_tools.data import paranoia

bold = paranoia.get_file("sub-tb2994", run=1, suffix="bold")
participants = paranoia.load_participants()
