Progress

Stable release, MIT license

The intent is to provide a set of tools that make it easier to use “deep” neural networks for data analysis in research — although it also has support for PyMVPA, in order to facilitate more conventional multivariate pattern analyses (MVPA) and make it easier to compare “deep learning” approaches to conventional MVPA. The primary intended use case is for analysis of neuroimaging datasets (e.g., fMRI, EEG, MEG), although there’s nothing to stop people from using it for all kinds of other classification tasks and data types. This is a Python toolbox.
