Our Roadmap

NiMARE's primary goal is to consolidate coordinate- and image-based meta-analysis methods with a simple, shared interface. This should reduce brand loyalty to any given algorithm, as it should be easy to employ the most appropriate algorithm for a given project.

A secondary goal of NiMARE is to implement some of the more cutting-edge methods for analyses built on meta-analytic data. There are many tools or algorithms that use meta-analytic data, including automated annotation, meta-analytic functional characterization analysis, and meta-analytic parcellation. Many of these methods are either tied to a specific meta-analysis package or never make it from publication to useable code.

Ultimately, we plan to support all (or most) of the methods listed below in NiMARE:

  • Coordinate-based methods (nimare.meta.cbma)
    • Kernel-based methods
      • Activation likelihood estimation (ALE)
      • Specific coactivation likelihood estimation (SCALE)
      • Multilevel kernel density analysis (MKDA)
      • Kernel density analysis (KDA)
    • Model-based methods (nimare.meta.cbma.model)
      • Bayesian hierarchical cluster process model (BHICP)
      • Hierarchical Poisson/Gamma random field model (HPGRF)
      • Spatial Bayesian latent factor regression (SBLFR)
      • Spatial binary regression (SBR)
  • Image-based methods (nimare.meta.ibma)
    • Mixed effects general linear model (MFX-GLM)
    • Random effects general linear model (RFX-GLM)
    • Fixed effects general linear model (FFX-GLM)
    • Stouffer's meta-analysis
    • Random effects Stouffer's meta-analysis
    • Weighted Stouffer's meta-analysis
    • Fisher's meta-analysis
  • Automated annotation (nimare.annotate)
    • TF-IDF vectorization of text (nimare.annotate.tfidf)
    • Ontology-based annotation (nimare.annotate.ontology)
      • Cognitive Paradigm Ontology (nimare.annotate.ontology.cogpo)
      • Cognitive Atlas (nimare.annotate.ontology.cogat)
    • Topic model-based annotation (nimare.annotate.topic)
      • Latent Dirichlet allocation (nimare.annotate.topic.LDAModel)
      • Generalized correspondence latent Dirichlet allocation (nimare.annotate.topic.GCLDAModel)
      • Deep Boltzmann machines (nimare.annotate.topic.BoltzmannModel)
    • Vector model-based annotation (nimare.annotate.vector)
      • Global Vectors for Word Representation model (nimare.annotate.vector.Word2BrainModel)
      • Text2Brain model (nimare.annotate.vector.Text2BrainModel)
  • Database extraction (nimare.extract)
    • NeuroVault
    • Neurosynth
    • Brainspell
    • PubMed abstract extraction
  • Functional characterization analysis (nimare.decode)
    • BrainMap decoding
    • Neurosynth correlation-based decoding
    • Neurosynth MKDA-based decoding
