MNE python project for MEG and EEG data analysis.

Project description

Travis

mne-python

This package is designed for sensor- and source-space analysis of M-EEG data, including frequency-domain and time-frequency analyses and non-parametric statistics. This package is presently evolving quickly and thanks to the adopted open development environment user contributions can be easily incorporated.

Get more information

This page only contains bare-bones instructions for installing mne-python.

If you’re familiar with MNE and you’re looking for information on using mne-python specifically, jump right to the mne-python homepage. This website includes a tutorial, helpful examples, and a handy function reference, among other things.

If you’re unfamiliar with MNE, you can visit the MNE homepage for full user documentation.

Get the latest code

To get the latest code using git, simply type:

git clone git://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python.git

If you don’t have git installed, you can download a zip or tarball of the latest code: http://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/archives/master

Install mne-python

As any Python packages, to install MNE-Python, go in the mne-python source code directory and do:

python setup.py install

or if you don’t have admin access to your python setup (permission denied when install) use:

python setup.py install --user

You can also install the latest release version with easy_install:

easy_install -U mne

or with pip:

pip install mne --upgrade

or for the latest development version (the most up to date):

pip install -e git+https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python#egg=mne-dev --user

Dependencies

The required dependencies to build the software are python >= 2.6, NumPy >= 1.6, SciPy >= 0.7.2 and matplotlib >= 0.98.4.

Some isolated functions require pandas >= 0.7.3 and nitime (multitaper analysis).

To run the tests you will also need nose >= 0.10. and the MNE sample dataset (will be downloaded automatically when you run an example … but be patient)

To use NVIDIA CUDA for FFT FIR filtering, you will also need to install the NVIDIA CUDA SDK, pycuda, and scikits.cuda. The difficulty of this varies by platform; consider reading the following site for help getting pycuda to work (typically the most difficult to configure):

Running the test suite

To run the test suite, you need nosetests and the coverage modules. Run the test suite using:

nosetests

from the root of the project.

Making a release and uploading it to PyPI

This command is only run by project manager, to make a release, and upload in to PyPI:

python setup.py sdist bdist_egg register upload
