Best Practices for Robust and Reproducible Neuroimaging Meta-Analysis#

Welcome!

The goal of this course is to introduce the rationale and basic concepts of neuroimaging meta-analysis, paired with a detailed tutorial using the Neurosynth Compose platform. This book has two main sections: a set of video lectures, and an interactive tutorial , where you will follow Dr. Anna Lytical on her journey to run a meta-analysis.

This was original taught as a half day course. Feel free to browse at your leisure, or complete the whole course in 2-3 hours.

Note

After following this tutorial visit the official documentation for up to date documentation on the Neurosynth Compose platform.
