I would recommend to add  to your apt-key call

|| { wget -q -O- http://neuro.debian.net/_static/neuro.debian.net.asc | sudo apt-key add -; }

also alternative to the "manual" setup of neurodebian I would recommend
you to just use the line

bash <(wget -q -O- http://neuro.debian.net/_files/neurodebian-travis.sh)

to which I have now added that wget line to robustify it.  Hopefully
this would improve it.  Use of this line instead of a custom setup
should help us to see how many projects use neurodebian repo in travis
setups, and also centralize such fixes as this one.

Cheers!
