The pyNIBS documentation.¶
pyNIBS is a Pyhon package to work with non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) data, foremost from transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) experiments.
We created this package to allow the mapping of causal structure-function relationships with TMS. A lot of analyses is based on calculations of the induced electric fields (e-fields) – for this we rely on SimNIBS.
Install pyNIBS via pip:
pip install pynibs
or directly grab from our repository at gitlab.gwdg.de/tms-localization/pynibs
