CONN (functional connectivity toolbox)


CONN is a Matlab-based cross-platform imaging software for the computation, display, and analysis of functional connectivity in fMRI in the resting state and during task.
CONN is available as a SPM toolbox and it is freely available for non-commercial use.

Usage

CONN offers a user-friendly GUI to manage all aspects of functional connectivity analyses, including preprocessing of functional and anatomical volumes, elimination of subject-movement and physiological noise, outlier scrubbing, estimation of multiple connectivity and network measures, and population-level hypothesis testing. In addition the processing pipeline can also be automated using batch scripts

History

CONN is written by Alfonso Nieto-Castanon. It has been supported by the at MIT, at Boston University, and at Northeastern University. The first release of CONN was in 2011 and there has been approximately one major new release each year to date.

Impact

Since its release CONN has been downloaded over 50,000 times to date, it has been used in over 1,000 publications, and it is included in the NIH funded Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse list of top-10 tools and resources in neuroimaging
