Talk/Paper Abstract

+ + +

Programming is becoming increasingly important to scientific activity. As its +importance grows, the need for better software tools becomes more and more +central to scientific practice. However, many fields of science rely on +badly written, poorly documented, and insufficiently tested codebases. +Moreover, scientific software packages often implement only the approaches +and algorithms needed or promoted by the specific lab where the software +was written.

+ +

In this talk, I will illustrate this situation by discussing some of the +weaknesses of the software ecosystem for neuroimaging analysis circa 2004. +I will then describe how several of my colleagues and I are attempting +to rectify this situation with a project called Neuroimaging in Python +(http://nipy.org). Specifically, I will discuss the approach we've taken +(e.g., using Python) and the lessons we've learned. +
