Many of the packages developed for analyzing graphs of social networks are equally of use in analyzing connectivity in neural systems. There are also packages for analysing psychophysical data which are relevant for behavioral neuroscience, psyphy, MLDS, sdtalt, etc. Would there be enough for CRAN TASK VIEW?
