neurora 1.1.0

A Python Toolbox for Multimode Neural Data Representation Analysis


#NeuroRA

A Python Toolbox of Representational Analysis from Multimode Neural Data

## Overview Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) has become a popular and effective method to measure the representation of multivariable neural activity in different modes.

NeuroRA is an easy-to-use toolbox based on Python, which can do some works about RSA among nearly all kinds of neural data, including behavioral, EEG, MEG, fNIRS, ECoG, electrophysiological and fMRI data.

## Installation > pip install neurora
