Nipype

Welcome to the Nipype portion of the workshop! It covers the basic concepts and most common use cases of Nipype and will teach you everything so that you can start creating your own workflows in no time. We recommend that you start with the introduction section to familiarize yourself with the tools used in this tutorial and then move on to the basic concepts section to learn everything you need to know for your everyday life with Nipype. The workflow examples section shows you a real example of how you can use Nipype to analyze an actual dataset. For a very quick non-imaging introduction, you can check the Nipype Quickstart notebooks in the introduction section.

All of the notebooks used in this tutorial can be found on github.com/miykael/nipype_tutorial. Please note that this is an adapted version of the Nipype tutorial overview page that was slightly changed to work within the jupyter book, as well as workshop setting. The tutorial is divided into 4 distinct parts as noted below: Introduction, Basic concepts, Workflow examples and Advanced concepts. To get more information and go through the respective sections, please navigate via the ToC on the left.

Please note, that Binder provides between 1G and 4G RAM memory and thus some notebooks from Workflow Examples might not work. All notebooks from Introduction and Basic Concepts parts should work.

For everything that isn’t covered in this tutorial, check out the main homepage. And if you haven’t had enough and want to learn even more about Nipype and Neuroimaging, make sure to look at the detailed beginner’s guide.
