+Nistats is a Python module for fast and easy modeling and statistical analysis
+of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging data.
+
+It leverages the nilearn Python toolbox for neuroimaging data manipulation
+(data downloading, visualization, masking).

+This work is made available by a community of people, amongst which the INRIA
+Parietal Project Team and D'esposito lab at Berkeley.
+
+It is based on developments initiated in the nipy project.}
