tedana: TE Dependent ANAlysis

About

TE-dependent analysis (tedana)is a Python library for denoising multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. tedana originally came about as a part of the ME-ICA pipeline, although it has since diverged. An important distinction is that while the ME-ICA pipeline originally performed both pre-processing and TE-dependent analysis of multi-echo fMRI data, tedana now assumes that you’re working with data which has been previously preprocessed.
