Description

The scripts are primarily written in Python and R, and encompass three main packages: (1) a Python package for mutli-echo fetal brain fMRI preprocessing, (2) an R package for longitudinal modeling of brain network functional connecivity changes from fetal to neonatal perids, and (3) a Python package for R2* mapping from multi-echo fMRI data.
