SUITPy: Analysis and visualization of cerebellar imaging data.

The package provides some basic functionality of the original SUIT toolbox for Matlab (https://github.com/jdiedrichsen/suit). Currently, only mapping of volume data to the flatmap and display of the flatmap are implemented.

Dependencies

The required dependencies to use the software are:

  • python >= 3.6
  • setuptools
  • numpy >= 1.16
  • nibabel >= 2.5
  • pandas >= 0.24
  • matplotlib >= 1.5.1
  • scipy >=1.0
  • neuroimagingtools >= 1.1.1

Install

First make sure you have installed all the dependencies listed above. Then you can install SUITPy by running the following command in a command prompt:

pip install -U --user SUITPy
