PyCortexEdu is a Neurohackademy 2019 project. The goal of PyCortexEdu is to visualize different brain atlases, parcellations and associated terms and variance components of the neuroimaging literature from Neurosynth on a 3D brain. This can be used as educational resource and potentially for researchers to evaluate functional and structural probabilities of selected brain regions. The PyCortex software library is used for visualisation.
PyCortexEdu can be accessed without installation as an online webviewer, see PyCortexEduViewer.
If you want to use PyCortexEdu locally, take the following steps:
1. Install pycortex (see also instructions here)
git clone https://github.com/gallantlab/pycortex.git
cd pycortex
python setup.py developpip install
You require different dependencies. If using Anaconda use pip install:
pip install numpy Cython scipy h5py nibabel matplotlib Pillow numexpr tornado lxml networkx
If you are running Ubuntu without Anaconda, use the following commands:
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib python-h5py python-nibabel python-lxml python-shapely python-html5lib inkscape
