Building an open development community for neuroimaging analysis

Talk/Paper Abstract

+ + +

Programming is becoming increasingly important to scientific activity. +As its importance grows, the need for better software tools becomes more +and more central to scientific practice. However, many fields of science +rely on badly written, poorly documented, and insufficiently tested +codebases. Moreover, scientific software packages often implement only the +approaches and algorithms needed or promoted by the specific lab where the +software was written. + +In this talk, I will illustrate this situation by discussing some of the +weaknesses of the software ecosystem for neuroimaging analysis circa 2004. +I will then describe how several of my colleagues and I are attempting +to rectify this situation with a project called Neuroimaging in Python +(http://nipy.org). Specifically, I will +discuss the approach we've taken (e.g., using Python) and the lessons +we've learned. +
