Project description

The analytical brain connectivity toolbox (abct) seeks to develop and collect a set of robust, simple, and established analysis tools that are equivalent, or approximately equivalent, to complicated, speculative, or new analyses in network neuroscience. Collectively, this toolbox will thus help to unify analyses across network neuroscience, as well as in parts of human neuroimaging and network science.

Concerete goals with specific tasks for Brainhack Vanderbilt 2025

• Create Jupyter/Colab notebooks that illustrate use in Python and MATLAB (Octave).
• Unpack small functions inside notebooks to illustrate the simplicity of measures.
• Create interactive demonstrations of analytical equivalences between measures.
• Develop a website for the tools with tabs for showing source code in 2-3 languages.
• Package tools into an analytical brain connectivity toolbox to be placed in the BCT.

Good first issues

1. Create Jupyter/Colab notebooks for Python, MATLAB (Octave), +/- Julia.
2. Unpack provided MATLAB analysis scripts into computational notebooks.
3. Link provided data from Google Drive to analyses in these notebooks.
