#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

## Website & How to use See more details at the [NeuroRA website](https://zitonglu1996.github.io/NeuroRA/).

You can read or download the [Tutorial here](https://zitonglu1996.github.io/NeuroRA/neurora/Tutorial.pdf) to know how to use NeuroRA.

## Required Dependencies:

  • [Numpy](http://www.numpy.org): a fundamental package for scientific computing

  • [SciPy](https://www.scipy.org/scipylib/index.html): a packages that provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines.

  • [Matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org): a Python 2D plotting library

  • [NiBabel](https://nipy.org/nibabel/): a package prividing read +/- write access to some common medical and neuroimaging file formats

  • [Nilearn](https://nilearn.github.io/): a Python module for fast and easy statistical learning on NeuroImaging data

  • [MNE-Python](https://mne.tools/): a Python software for exploring, visualizing, and analyzing human neurophysiological data

## Features

  • Calculate the Neural Pattern Similarity (NPS)

  • Calculate the Spatiotemporal Neural Pattern Similarity (STPS)

  • Calculate the Representational Dissimilarity Matrix (RDM)

  • Calculate the Representational Similarity based on RDMs

  • One-Step Realize Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA)

  • Save the RSA result as a NIfTI file for fMRI

  • Visualization for RSA results
