Version 3.0.0
This file describes the installation and usage of the software. Full details can be found on the TNU website: http://www.translationalneuromodeling.org/tapas/
TAPAS is a collection of algorithms and software tools developed by the Translational Neuromodeling Unit (TNU, Zurich) and collaborators. The goal of these tools is to support clinical neuromodeling, particularly computational psychiatry, computational neurology, and computational psychosomatics.
Currently, TAPAS includes the following packages:
- HGF: The Hierarchical Gaussian Filter; Bayesian inference on computational processes from observed behaviour.
- HUGE: Variational Bayesian inversion for hierarchical unsupervised generative embedding (HUGE).
- MICP: Bayesian Mixed-effects Inference for Classification Studies.
- MPDCM: Massively Parallel DCM; Efficient integration of DCMs using massive parallelization.
- PhysIO: Physiological Noise Correction for fMRI.
- rDCM: DCM based, efficient inference on effective brain connectivity for fMRI.
- SEM: SERIA Model for Eye Movements (saccades and anti-saccades) and Reaction Times.
- VBLM: Variational Bayesian Linear Regression.
TAPAS is written in MATLAB and distributed as open source code under the GNU General Public License (GPL, Version 3).
TAPAS is a collection of toolboxes written in MATLAB (Version R2016b). The key
requirement is the installation of MATLAB (produced by The MathWorks, Inc.
Natick, MA, USA. http://www.mathworks.com/).
Please download TAPAS from our Github Release Page.
To add the TAPAS directory to the MATLAB path, run the script tapas_init.m in
the directory where tapas is installed/extracted.
For the individual toolboxes included in TAPAS, please refer to their documentation (s.b.) for specific installation instructions.
To download the example data please use tapas_download_example_data() from
the matlab console.
- The latest documentation of TAPAS can be found in this README and on the GitHub Wiki of the TAPAS GitHub page
- In general, each toolbox comes with their own documentation as Wiki, PDF, matlab tutorials etc.
- Documentation for older versions (<= 2.7.0.0) is provided on the TNU page
- Please submit bug reports, feature requests, code improvements etc. via the
Issues Forum pages on GitHub (you will need a GitHub account. - This issue forum is searchable, so please have a look if your question has been asked before.
- For older versions or more general questions, please also have a look at our now deprecated E-Mail List, which has a searchable Archive
Information about citations and current version can be printed from matlab with
the command: tapas_version(1);
Information about changes in the current release can be found in the CHANGELOG.md file.
All recent stables releases can be downloaded from our TAPAS Github Release Page.
