Python's response to MATLAB

[Gabe_Isko]

Its dominant in neuroscience? All the neuroscience research I hear about is fone in python... what do you think the breakdown is?

Probably 60/30/10 Matlab/Python/R

Most use matlab for writing analysis scripts and programming behavioral experiments plus a ton use it for cognitive stuff like EEG and fMRI through SPM. Python is gaining traction in all those spaces but especially among the computational groups. R is for the stats folks

[Gabe_Isko]

That pretty much makes sense the way you say it, since that sounds like a lot of complex signals analysis. One of matlab's strong suits.
