Based on the MATLAB interactive development environment, we developed the GIG-ICA (Group information guided independent component analysis) toolbox, which integrated our previously proposed GIG-ICA method. We release the GIG-ICA toolbox here for use by researchers in the field of brain science. The toolbox can analyze the brain functional MRI data of multiple subjects at the same time, and can calculate the brain functional networks of individual subjects, the time series related to the brain functional networks, and the functional network connectivity (FNC). Using our toolbox, brain functional networks and related information can be visualized as well, and the estimated measures can be used by researchers for subsequent statistical analysis, clustering, and classification studies.

The GIG-ICA toolbox includes the following modules:

1)         Analysis of brain functional neuroimaging: The toolbox integrates GIG-ICA method, which can analyze the brain functional MRI data of multiple subjects at the same time, and can calculate the brain functional networks of individual subjects, the time series related to the brain functional networks, and the functional network connectivity (FNC).

2)         Visualization of resultsThe toolbox can display the outcomes of brain functional networks and related information.

The main interface of the toolbox and the results are as follows:
