threebrainpy 0.1.1

Your Advanced Electrode Localizer Viewer for Python

WebGL-based 3D Brain for Python

The project is part of YAEL.

Installation

Install from pypi:

# Bare minimal
pip install threebrainpy

# to allow Jupyter support
pip install threebrainpy threebrainpywidget

Install from Github:

pip install pandas matplotlib
pip install git+https://github.com/dipterix/threebrainpy

Test the installation

Launch Python with your favorite editor, run the following Python commands. If you don't have FreeSurfer installed, replace path with any fs subject. If you don't have any, go to sample templates and download one.

import os
from threebrainpy.core import Brain

# You can replace `path` with any FreeSurfer-generated subject folder
path = os.path.join(os.environ["FREESURFER_HOME"], "subjects", "fsaverage")

brain = Brain(os.path.basename(path), path)
brain.add_slice("brain")
brain.add_slice("brain.finalsurf")
brain.add_surfaces("pial")
brain.render()
