Octave vs Matlab vs Python for Neuroimaging research
Most EEG and fMRI Neuroimaging analysis software still run on Matlab (SPM, EEGLAB, Fieldtrip). Matlab is great, except it is not free. Octave, a free alternative to Matlab, has made a great effort to develop compatible graphics compatible with Matlab (for example EEGLAB scripts runs on Octave https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/Running_EEGLAB_on_Octave). Python usage is still rising and a language of choice for Cloud computing.

Where do you think the field is going and will look 10 years from now?
