NeuroRA
A Python Toolbox for Multimode Neural Data Representation Analysis - A Representational Analysis Toolbox for Neuroscience, including Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA), & Inter-Subject Correlation (ISC)
NeuroRA
A Python Toolbox of Representational Analysis from Multimodal Neural Data
Overview
Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) has become a popular and effective method to measure the representation of multivariable neural activity in different modes.
NeuroRA is an easy-to-use toolbox based on Python, which can do some works about RSA among nearly all kinds of neural data, including behavioral, EEG, MEG, fNIRS, sEEG, ECoG, fMRI and some other neuroelectrophysiological data. In addition, users can do Inter-Subject Correlation (ISC), Classification-based EEG Decoding and a novel cross-temporal RSA (CTRSA) on NeuroRA.
