Extensible Neuroimaging Archive Toolkit

The Extensible Neuroimaging Archive Toolkit (XNAT) is an open source software platform designed to facilitate management and exploration of neuroimaging and related data. XNAT includes a secure database backend and a rich web-based user interface (Go).

SenseLab

The SenseLab Project is a long term effort to build integrated, multidisciplinary models of neurons and neural systems, using the olfactory pathway as a model. This is one of a number of projects funded as part of the Human Brain Project whose aim is to develop neuroinformatics tools in support of neuroscience research. The project involves novel informatics approaches to constructing databases and database tools for collecting and analyzing neuroscience information, and providing for efficient interoperability with other neuroscience databases (Go).

EEGlab

EEGlab is an interactive Matlab toolbox for processing continuous and event-related EEG, MEG and other electrophysiological data using independent component analysis (ICA), time/frequency analysis, artifact rejection, and several modes of data visualization.
