neurora2 2.0.0.2

A Python Toolbox for Multimodal Neural Data Representation Analysis

#NeuroRA2

A Python Toolbox of Representational Analysis from Multimodal 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.

NeuroRA2(an updated version of 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, sEEG, ECoG, fMRI and some other neuroelectrophysiological data. In addition, users can do Inter-Subject Correlation (ISC), Classification-based EEG Decoding and a novel cross-temporal RSA (CTRSA) on NeuroRA.

Installation

pip install neurora2
