An introduction to nilearn

An introduction to nilearn

In this tutorial, we’ll see how the Python library nilearn allows us to easily perform machine learning analyses with neuroimaging data, specifically MRI and fMRI.

Structure of the workshop

This workshop is divided into two main topics:

  1. Extracting meaningful features from neuroimaging data

  2. Performing classification analyses and visualizing results

Although we highlight a small subset of the available functionality here, please see the Nilearn documentation for an in-depth review of the many different kinds of analyses that can be run using Nilearn. For example, in addition to classification analyses, Nilearn can also be used to conduct Multi-Voxel Pattern (MVP) decoding and General Linear Model (GLM) analyses.
