Moreover it provides some popular datasets and atlases within the same convenient package management system.</p> <h3>Software</h3> <p>Popular neuroscience-oriented packages include <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/afni.html">AFNI</a>, <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/fsl.html">FSL</a>, <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/python-mvpa2.html">PyMVPA</a> and <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs.html">many others</a>. In addition popular projects for generic (e.g. <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/python-pandas.html">pandas</a>, <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/xppaut.html">xppaut</a>) and distributed (e.g., <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/coop-computing-tools.html">coop-computing-tools</a>, <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/condor.html">condor</a>) computation needs are included. The <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs.html">entire list</a> is too long to cite here.</p> <h3>Data</h3> <ul> <li>Atlases provided by software such as <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/fsl.html">FSL</a> and <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/afni.html">AFNI</a></li> <li><a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/neurosynth-dataset.html">NeuroSynth dataset</a> and <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/fsl-neurosynth-atlas.html">its FSL atlas</a></li> <li><a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/haxby2001-faceobject.html">Haxby 2001</a> dataset</li> <li><a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/python-mvpa2-tutorialdata.html">PyMVPA tutorial</a> (including data and IPython notebook)</li> <li>See <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/pkglists/toc_pkgs_for_release_data.html">our website</a> for the exhaustive list</li> </ul> <h3>Installation</h3> <p>Majority of software packaged by NeuroDebian team is integrated are already available on any stock <a href="http://www.debian.org">Debian</a> or <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</a> system. In addition we maintain a dedicated <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/#get-neurodebian">NeuroDebian repository</a> which you could add to APT sources on your stock Debian/Ubuntu installation to obtain most recent versions and software we maintain AND data packages which are absent from official Debian and Ubuntu archives.</p> <h4>Personal virtualization</h4> <p>Pre-crafted <a href="http://neuro.debian.net/vm.html">NeuroDebian virtual appliance</a> allows to start using NeuroDebian and thousands of available software packages on any operating system in matter of minutes.</p> <h4>Cloud</h4> <p>NeuroDebian provides software for the NITRC-CE environment available for the hackathon participants.</p> <h3>Support</h3> <p><a href="mailto:team@neuro.debian.net">Email us directly</a> with any &#8220;private&#8221; communication.
