Project Description

The goal of this project is to combine tools in a pipeline for surface-based analysis of fMRI data. Surface-based analysis is a powerful way to align data from different subjects and datasets (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-62832-z, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1361841512000357). Join us to test tools that will help you to analyze your own fMRI data at the whole-brain level!

The pipeline will combine open-science tools like fMRIprep, Workbench (from HCP), nilearn (Python library). We will provide a couple of subject data to benchmark the tools; they will be formatted in the BIDS format (https://bids.neuroimaging.io/), which is a standard to share data. Experience in Python is recommended. You should install a Python distribution like Anaconda beforehand (https://anaconda.org/), we may also use MRI viewer like mango (https://mangoviewer.com/) and tools from Workbench (https://humanconnectome.org/software/connectome-workbench).
