NeuroDebian: The Ultimate Neuroscience Software Platform
Here in DesdeLinux As in many other similar Linux websites, we tend to constantly address and publish guides, tutorials, news and information, about releases and news related to free and open projects associated mainly with distributions, applications, games and systems, useful for common users (home and office) and professional users (SysAdmins, DevOps and Software Developers).
However, from time to time we like to give space to those free and open projects related to the scientific and high-tech world. Since, these are usually just as important or more, only logically, they are usually better known by personnel from the university educational sector and from public and private organizations, from the scientific, medical and technological sectors. Therefore, this time we will give a small space to another great free and open scientific project called "NeuroDebian".
Dataverso Project: Research data repository SW
But, before reading this post about this interesting free and open scientific project based on Debian GNU/Linux, called "NeuroDebian", we recommend the previous related post:
NeuroDebian: Debian-based neuroscience software
What is the NeuroDebian project?
According to his Official website, the scientific project "NeuroDebian" It is described as follows:
NeuroDebian provides a large collection of popular neuroscience research software for the operating system. Debian , as well as for Ubuntu and other derivatives. Popular packages include AFNI , F.S.L. , PyMVPA y much others .
While, in his official section on GitHub add to it the following:
NeuroDebian is a popular turnkey platform for Neuroscience, where software is integrated, tested and delivered in a convenient and reliable way so you can focus on your research and not "OS maintenance".
Consequently, NeuroDebian (package repositories y programs developed and included), facilitates knowledge and management of the tools of this scientific field. In addition, it allows the consolidation of Neuroscience development efforts on an open and community-driven platform.
Platform that not only provides a easy access, installation and maintenance for the required research programs, but rather helps to to improve and increase the effort of software engineering on a stable and reliable operating system. Since, andhe use of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system as the foundation for these efforts offers unique advantages for both end users and developers.
What programs are included in this scientific project?
Between the programs (applications and software packages) under the coverage of the NeuroDebian project, the following stand out:
- AFNI: A toolkit for analyzing and visualizing fMRI data.
- F.S.L.: An analysis toolkit for FMRI, MRI and DTI brain imaging.
- PyMVPA: A toolkit for multivariate pattern analysis with Python.
Finally, if you are interested in learning more about GNU/Linux distros at the service of science and high technology and research you can click the following link.
NeuroDebian it is not a distribution Linux in a traditional sense because we are working within the project Debian, for the that we do not provide our own custom installer for Debian. However, dBecause of Debian's openness and modularity, other enthusiasts develop custom derivative solutions to address their particular needs. Distros derived from and similar to NeuroDebian
Summary
In summary, "NeuroDebian" is one of many scientific projects supported by philosophy and free and open developments Free Software, Open Source and GNU/Linux to achieve important benefits for all humanity. Therefore, without a doubt, it is worth supporting them by spreading their existence and importance so that they are more valued, and can get more support, members, collaborators and users that contribute to their expansion and improvement. Consequently, we invite you to get to know it in greater depth, and to collaborate in its dissemination.
