nilearn.datasets.fetch_haxby¶
- nilearn.datasets.fetch_haxby(data_dir=None, subjects=(2,), fetch_stimuli=False, url=None, resume=True, verbose=1)[source]¶
Download and loads complete haxby dataset.
See Haxby et al.[1].
- Parameters:
- data_dir
pathlib.Path
orstr
, optional Path where data should be downloaded. By default, files are downloaded in a
nilearn_data
folder in the home directory of the user. See alsonilearn.datasets.utils.get_data_dirs
.- subjectslist or int, default=(2,)
Either a list of subjects or the number of subjects to load, from 1 to 6. By default, 2nd subject will be loaded. Empty list returns no subject data.
- fetch_stimuliboolean, default=False
Indicate if stimuli images must be downloaded. They will be presented as a dictionary of categories.
- url
str
, default=None URL of file to download. Override download URL. Used for test only (or if you setup a mirror of the data).
- resume
bool
, default=True Whether to resume download of a partly-downloaded file.
- verbose
int
, default=1 Verbosity level (0 means no message).
- data_dir
- Returns:
- datasklearn.datasets.base.Bunch
Dictionary-like object, the interest attributes are :
‘session_target’:
list
ofstr
. Paths to text file containing run and target data.‘mask’:
str
. Path to fullbrain mask file.‘mask_vt’:
list
ofstr
. Paths to nifti ventral temporal mask file.‘mask_face’:
list
ofstr
. Paths to nifti with face-reponsive brain regions.‘mask_face_little’:
list
ofstr
. Spatially more constrained version of the above.‘mask_house’:
list
ofstr
. Paths to nifti with house-reponsive brain regions.‘mask_house_little’:
list
ofstr
. Spatially more constrained version of the above.
