**MNE-NIRS** is an `MNE-Python <https://mne.tools>`_ compatible near-infrared spectroscopy processing package.

MNE-Python provides support for fNIRS analysis, this package extends that functionality and adds GLM analysis, helper functions, additional algorithms, data quality metrics, plotting, and file format support.


Documentation
-------------

Documentation for this project is hosted `here <https://mne-tools.github.io/mne-nirs>`_.

You can find a list of  `examples within the documentation <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/index.html>`_.


Features
--------

.. features-start

MNE-NIRS and MNE-Python provide a wide variety of tools to use when processing fNIRS data including:

* Loading data from a `wide variety of devices <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_01_data_io.html>`_, including `SNIRF files <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_19_snirf.html>`_.
* `Apply 3D sensor locations <https://mne.tools/stable/overview/implementation.html#supported-formats-for-digitized-3d-locations>`_ from common digitisation systems such as Polhemus.
* Standard preprocessing including `optical density calculation and Beer-Lambert Law conversion <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_15_waveform.html#id2>`_, filtering, etc.
* Data quality metrics including `scalp coupling index <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_15_waveform.html#id3>`_ and `peak power <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_22_quality.html#peak-power>`_.
* GLM analysis with a wide variety of customisation including `including FIR <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_13_fir_glm.html>`_ or `canonical HRF <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_11_hrf_measured.html>`_ analysis, higher order `autoregressive noise models <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_10_hrf_simulation.html#using-autoregressive-models-in-the-glm-to-account-for-noise-structure>`_, `short channel regression, region of interest analysis <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_11_hrf_measured.html>`_, etc.
* Visualisation tools for all stages of processing from raw data to processed waveforms, GLM result visualisation, including both sensor and cortical surface projections.
* Data cleaning functions including popular short channel techniques and negative correlation enhancement.
* Group level analysis using `(robust) linear mixed effects models <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_12_group_glm.html>`_ and `waveform averaging <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/general/plot_16_waveform_group.html>`_.
* And much more! Check out the documentation `examples <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/auto_examples/index.html>`__ and the API `for more details <https://mne.tools/mne-nirs/stable/api.html>`_.

Docker
------

To start a jupyter lab server with a specified MNE-NIRS version, and mount a local directory on a mac or nix computer use:

.. code-block:: console

   docker run -p 8888:8888 -v `pwd`:/home/mne_user ghcr.io/mne-tools/mne-nirs:v0.1.2 jupyter-lab --ip="*"

Or on windows:

.. code-block:: console

   docker run -p 8888:8888 -v %cd%:/home/mne_user ghcr.io/mne-tools/mne-nirs:v0.1.2 jupyter-lab --ip="*"
