pubget makes it easy to downloads thousands of studies using a single command line operation. you also seamlesslyfit a neurosynth style meta-analysis to the results of your search.

We present a set of tools to facilitate mining biomedical texts, and apply it to neuroimaging as an example.
First up, we make it easy to download texts from the open-access subset of PubMedCentral using pubget
