scitex-dataset is a unified Python interface for fetching neuroscience datasets from multiple sources including OpenNeuro, DANDI Archive, and PhysioNet.

Key Features

  • Unified Interface: Single API for multiple neuroscience data repositories

  • Multiple Sources: OpenNeuro, DANDI Archive, PhysioNet, and more

  • CLI & Python API: Use from command line or import as a library

  • BIDS/NWB Support: Works with standard neuroimaging data formats

  • MCP Integration: AI agents can fetch datasets via MCP server

Supported Sources

  • OpenNeuro: BIDS-formatted neuroimaging datasets

  • DANDI Archive: NWB-formatted neurophysiology data

  • PhysioNet: Physiological signal databases

  • Zenodo: General scientific datasets

Quick Example

Python API:

from scitex_dataset import fetch

# Fetch from OpenNeuro
data = fetch("ds000001", source="openneuro")

# Search across sources
results = search("EEG epilepsy")

CLI:

# Fetch a dataset
scitex-dataset fetch ds000001 --source openneuro

# Search for datasets
scitex-dataset search "fMRI visual"
