tedana: TE Dependent ANAlysis

The tedana package is part of the ME-ICA pipeline, performing TE-dependent analysis of multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. TE-dependent analysis (tedana) is a Python module for denoising multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data.

About

tedana originally came about as a part of the ME-ICA pipeline. The ME-ICA pipeline originally performed both pre-processing and TE-dependent analysis of multi-echo fMRI data; however, tedana now assumes that you're working with data which has been previously preprocessed.

More information and documentation can be found at https://tedana.readthedocs.io/.

Installation

You'll need to set up a working development environment to use tedana. To set up a local environment, you will need Python >=3.5 and the following packages will need to be installed:

numpy
scipy
scikit-learn
nilearn
nibabel>=2.1.0

You can then install tedana with

pip install tedana

Creating a miniconda environment for use with tedana

In using tedana, you can optionally configure a conda environment.

We recommend using miniconda3. After installation, you can use the following commands to create an environment for tedana:

conda create -n ENVIRONMENT_NAME python=3 pip mdp numpy scikit-learn scipy 
source activate ENVIRONMENT_NAME
pip install nilearn nibabel
pip install tedana

tedana will then be available in your path. This will also allow any previously existing tedana installations to remain untouched.

To exit this conda environment, use

source deactivate
