A lightweight Python library for reading & writing BrainVoyager file formats.
bvbabel is a spiritual successor of Jochen Weber's Neuroelf's xff function and Thomas Emmerling's currently unmerged Nibabel pull request. I have been inspired by these earlier projects, but ended up deciding to implement from scratch based on BrainVoyager file formats documentation.
