What is nilearn 1.0 ?¶

nilearn is a python way of doing work (statistical analysis) with Neuro Imaging in Python using machine learning. It uses scikit-learn Python toolbox.
It is a subset of a family of work done in python language related with Neuro Imaging.
It is not a new technique or new science but provides modern pythonic way of dealing with old analysis done on neuro imaging data such as MVPA, decoding, predictive modelling, functional connectivity, brain parcellations, connectomes.
It can also be used on different modalaties of fMRI such as task fMRI, resting fMRI, or VBM data
nilearn makes the work of neuro imaging with machine learning a specific domain, or feature engineering construction.
