Do you ever wish you could just use python to pull together the files and code for running FSL's randomise? Me too! I made this: github.com/jmumford/ran... It will even replace the numbers in the file outputs with contrast names of your choosing (and replace corrp with 1minusp).

Hi Bluesky, my first PhD project is finally out!
Cells in our bodies can talk to each other in multiple chemical languages, one of the better known being neurotransmitters. Here, we extensively looked at a language that also has its origin in the nervous system — neuropeptides.
