Nilearn Dev Days — 19-22 May 2020
Join online the Nilearn development community and shape what's next
Nilearn Dev Days: Science and Software
Nilearn is a Python tool that has historically focused on statistical learning with volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. With the recent merge Nistats, the Nilearn mission statement has been expanded:
Nilearn enables approachable and versatile analyses of brain volumes. It provides statistical and machine-learning tools, with instructive documentation & a friendly community.
In the 2020 Dev Days, we hope to increase the awareness of Nilearn’s development philosophy and onboard new contributors to our community. We also hope to highlight future directions where we are especially excited to see community-driven development efforts.
The talks for the Software Development and Scientific days will be freely available with public links shared below.
