Brainstorm is an open-source application. As such, the whole code is available as GitHub repositories. Our main objective is to provide open, free, high-quality tools and training material to the neuroimaging community. We are fierce supporters of open-science and believe that sharing tools, data and expertise is the best way to produce high-quality science that benefits everybody.

GitHub is a cloud based platform that facilitates the storage and sharing of repositories that use Git as version control system. This means everyone is able and encouraged to submit improvements and new features of the application themselves through the GitHub interface.
