Title

NiMARE: Adding and Documenting Extensions

Short description and the goals for the OHBM BrainHack

NiMARE covers a wide breadth of meta-analytic algorithms. However, the only constant is change. With new algorithms emerging from research across the globe, there is a need for integrating the latest trends in neuroimaging meta-analysis and making the process smooth for new contributors.

In order to kickstart the extension process the goals are twofold:

• integrate a new algorithm into NiMARE
• document the process and find pain points
