### NeuroCAPs
NeuroCAPs is an open-source Python package that performs Co-Activation Patterns analysis on BIDS-compliant fMRI data.
### OARscRNA
The OAR (observed at random) score reveals cellular transcriptional shifts, allowing cell prioritization for downstream applications. For best results, apply the test to group of cells where you expect some common transcriptional programs - i.e. one cell type across various biological samples or conditions. OAR scores are cluster agnostic (no cluster labels are required) and are robust across: Technologies, Technical batches/library preparations, and Organisms.
