+NIPY
+====
+
+Neuroimaging tools for Python.
+
+The aim of NIPY is to produce a platform-independent Python environment for the
+analysis of functional brain imaging data using an open development model.
+
+In NIPY we aim to:
+
+1. Provide an open source, mixed language scientific programming
+    environment suitable for rapid development.
+
+2. Create sofware components in this environment to make it easy
+    to develop tools for MRI, EEG, PET and other modalities.
+
+3. Create and maintain a wide base of developers to contribute to
+    this platform.
+
+4. To maintain and develop this framework as a single, easily
+    installable bundle.
+
+NIPY is the work of many people. We list the main authors in the file ``AUTHOR``
+in the NIPY distribution, and other contributions in ``THANKS``.
