The User-Friendly Functional Connectivity (UF2C) software provides researchers with a platform to analyze functional magnetic resonance neuroimages from the initial preprocessing steps to the generation of manuscript-quality figures. UF2C is implemented in Matlab language and falls within the FreeBSD license. Our toolbox builds on a combination of existing methods to increase the user’s power to perform different types of resting-state functional connectivity, event-related, and task activation analyses. To keep up with ongoing advances in this field, UF2C is regularly updated to reflect these advances and incorporate user demands.
