[Neuroimaging] New to coding, looking for ways to practice and improve

Tue Nov 14 03:32:19 EST 2017

Hi all,

Thank you very much for your advice! It's much appreciated. I already
checked the brainhack and MNE projects, I'll sure have a look on that
"easy" tagged requests soon!

Also, thank you for suggesting frequently used toold and useful textbooks.
I would like to get into computational anatomy too, where could I start?

Thank you very much again,

Juan
