Tutorials

Quickstart​

Neurosynth Compose supports a range of workflows, from exploratory large-scale automated analyses to highly rigorous manual analyses.

The choice of workflow depends on your research question and resources available for manual curation. We reccomend starting with the manual meta-analysis tutorial if you are new.

Manual

Most stringent and rigorous.

  • Search across multiple sources, such as: PubMed, Web of Science, NeuroStore
  • Careful curation for inclusion/exclusion criteria
  • Extract coordinates from studies not already indexed
  • Meets PRISMA guidelines

Automated

Fast exploratory analysis.

  • Query studies at scale
  • Search using terms, topics or activation coordinates
  • Replicate results from original Neurosynth
  • Immediate results, ideal for a exploratory analysis
