favorite tools
Experiment builder in Python, great tool for scripting Psychology/Cognitive Neuroscience experiments (e.g. visual stimulus presentation).
(Analysis of Functional NeuroImages) Brilliant software for MRI analysis from the NIH. Including C, Python, R programs and shell scripts. Also offers cortical reconstruction and visualization with its sister program SUMA.
Excellent MATLAB toolbox for decoding and multivariate analysis of fMRI data. Interfaces with AFNI!
Comprehensive MATLAB toolbox for multivariate analysis of fMRI & EEG/MEG data.
MATLAB toolbox for straightforward implementation of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).
Amazon Mechanical Turk is a platform for running crowdsourced online behavioral experiments with large sample sizes. Like many people, I first learned how to use it via Timothy Brady’s useful introductory tutorial.
