Pyneal Real-Time fMRI Analysis Software

Note: Pyneal was designed to work with the GE MRI scanning environment at Duke University. Different environments at different institutions may require aspects of the code to be modified, particularly the steps related to accessing dicom images and sending to the real-time analysis machine.
