Build Status

quickflat demo

Pycortex is a software library that allows you to visualize fMRI or other volumetric neuroimaging data on cortical surfaces.

Quickstart

python3 -m venv env  # use `virtualenv env` for python 2
source env/bin/activate
pip install -U setuptools wheel numpy cython
pip install -U git+git://github.com/gallantlab/pycortex.git

This command creates a new virtualenv for pycortex to resolve dependencies. Run source env/bin/activate whenever you need pycortex.

Documentation

NEW: Massively updated documentation for pycortex is available at https://gallantlab.github.io/. You can find many examples of pycortex features in the pycortex example gallery.

To build the documentation locally:

pip install sphinx_gallery
pip install numpydoc
cd docs
make html
# open `docs/_build/html/index.html` in web browser

Demo

Pycortex is best used with IPython. Install it in your virtualenv using

source env/bin/activate
pip install ipython

To run the pycortex demo,

$ ipython
In [1]: import cortex
In [2]: cortex.webshow(cortex.Volume.random("S1", "fullhead"))
