NeuroDebian Projects

We share a lot of common interests with other teams in Debian. So we are actively collaborating with Debian Med and Debian Science projects to improve Debian infrastructure and software coverage to fulfil our goals.

This page provides an overview of current and planned NeuroDebian projects. Each description lists a couple of tasks remaining to reach the goal of a particular project. If you want to contribute, take a look at them and email the neurodebian-devel mailing list with your intention to help.

Expanding coverage

• Integrating Matlab-based software

• Neuroimaging

  • Packaging AFNI

  • Packaging SPM8

  • Packaging FreeSurfer

• Psychophysics
