[ENH] Implement bigbrain context decoding #151

Closed ReinderVosDeWael closed 3 years ago

ReinderVosDeWael commented 3 years ago

Implement decoding of Casey's MPC maps. This would be very helpful to have done before OHBM.

Could you please give some more details about Casey's MPC maps? What is it?

Hi, thanks for the link! Nice paper reporting gradients of different modalities (histology, microstructural covariance and functional connectivity) + the meta-analytic decoding of their differences.

However, what I don't understand, why do we want to have this all in brainstat?

Is it just to replicate Paquola et al. 2019, ie with histological gradients with plot_tutorial_02_context.py:

tutorial2figure

Apparently, the whole effort requires:

brainstat/context/histology.py test_histology.py get_home_dir.m brainstat_matlab/context/histology/* and so on.

Or, is the rationale actually to illustrate an example for the whole context decoding, and this module needs a set of reasonable data set, and you choose Paquola et al. 2019 for this reason?

Thanks for the reply in advance.

Same reason as we use nimare and allen human brain atlas; contextual decoding of other data.

Will close this issue as the PR is already implemented; can continue this on slack if you want.
