==== MEG Core pyctf tools ported to Python 3====
==== MEG Data Analysis ====
pyctf tools are a collection of Python scripts useful in the analysis of data sets collected from the CTF scanner.
These tools have been rewritten using modern Python 3 syntax following standard coding conventions. Most of these programs will run unmodified under MacOS, Windows, and the various versions of Linux with a Python 3.4 distribution or later installed. Python programs requiring modules not included in the standard Python library are indicated.

MEG Data Analysis

This section covers all aspects of MEG data analysis. The following pages assume that you have AFNI installed and have a reasonably good idea of how to use it.

Python is a more powerful programming language, and Tom and Jeff have written some of our scripts in Python, but you don't really need to know how they work, just what they do. The AFNI tutorial below is geared towards fMRI/BOLD analysis.

Stimulus Presentation Software

PsychoPy: Psychology software in Python PsychoPy is an open-source application that allows you to run a wide range of neuroscience, psychology and psychophysics experiments. It’s a free, powerful alternative to Presentation™ or to e-Prime™, written in Python (a free alternative to Matlab™ ).

Presentation: NeuroBehavioral Systems (NBS), Inc. Presentation® is a stimulus delivery and experiment control program for neuroscience written for Microsoft Windows.

E-prime 3: Psychology Software Tools E-Prime® 3.0 software for behavioral research. Build your own experiments using E-Prime’s easy-to-use graphical interface. Design, collect, and analyze data – all within a few hours!
