Interesting. Seems to be the cohort/res combo. Can you share sub_reader403_wf/template_iterator_wf/select_xfm/_report/report.rst?

I see. So the issue is that we currently pass around template as if it's meaningful on its own, because resolutions are not considered distinct templates (you can register to 1 and resample to 2). But cohorts should be considered distinct templates, so we need to pass around cohort information.

Right now we pass template and template_spec out of register_template_wf:

https://github.com/nipreps/smriprep/blob/8830bf86c7ea9882b48a6d2de35c160dd342c921/smriprep/workflows/fit/registration.py#L205-L208

And this needs to be combined into {template}[:cohort-<cohort>]. Either that can be done in that workflow or in the fit workflow

https://github.com/nipreps/smriprep/blob/8830bf86c7ea9882b48a6d2de35c160dd342c921/smriprep/workflows/anatomical.py#L971-L1013

Another approach is to pass around template_spec everywhere we pass around template and decide what to do with the collection of keys.

One thing that seems clear to me is that we'll need to add cohort-<label> to the transform file, so that we can distinguish pre-computed transforms.

That will require updates to the path patterns in niworkflows: https://github.com/nipreps/niworkflows/blob/a0af2636521580d84b6b4eb1c32b0cfc4e1bff85/niworkflows/data/nipreps.json#L154-L184

As well as adding the cohort to the how we look up precomputed transforms in:

https://github.com/nipreps/smriprep/blob/8830bf86c7ea9882b48a6d2de35c160dd342c921/smriprep/utils/bids.py#L53-L63

Which is called here:

https://github.com/nipreps/smriprep/blob/8830bf86c7ea9882b48a6d2de35c160dd342c921/smriprep/workflows/base.py#L365-L369

If any changes are needed to the last part, they'll need to be propagated to fMRIPrep here:

https://github.com/nipreps/fmriprep/blob/7f4b302ab916de4d6257cd76f9eba7ef0931c948/fmriprep/workflows/base.py#L250-L263

@smeisler Do you have any time or interest in working into this? Would you need help getting set up with a dev environment? I'm working on another issue today, so I would be glad of any effort you're able to put at this.

cc also @mgxd as this will affect nibabies significantly.

[smeisler]

I can give it a shot. I shouldn't have trouble setting up a dev environment (changes will be happening in https://github.com/smeisler/smriprep/tree/fix/cohort_res) but will update here if I run into issues.

[smeisler]

Actually before I do too much, I should make sure the dev environment was set up correctly. Steps I took:

1. Fork the repo smeisler/smriprep
2. Start a new branch smeisler/smriprep/fix/cohort_res
3. Clone it to machine
4. Switch to my working branch:cd smriprep, git checkout fix/cohort_res
5. Create new conda environement mamba create -n smriprep_dev pip; mamba activate smriprep_dev
6. Install smriprep in that environment from the cloned repo pip install -e .

Anything I'm missing? I realize it's not containerized, so there might be some oddities with software versions I have on my computer, but hopefully I can at least make the changes to the workflow.

[effigies]

You're going to need to work with niworkflows and you'll at least want to test with fmriprep, so I think you'll want to install all of these:

for REPO in nipreps/{fmriprep,smriprep,niworkflows}; do
    git clone https://github.com/$REPO
done
mamba env create -f fmriprep/env.yml  # Can use -n to override the default name of fmriprep
mamba env config vars set -n fmriprep FSLDIR=$CONDA_PREFIX  # Make sure FSL tools can find each other
mamba activate fmriprep
pip install --no-deps -e ./fmriprep -e ./smriprep -e ./niworkflows

It's not hard to add additional repos after the fact.

You'll also need FreeSurfer, AFNI and Connectome Workbench installed in your PATH, but otherwise you should be good to go.

Edit: Note that I reordered one command. You want to set the environment variable before activating to make sure it gets loaded into your shell.

[effigies]

@smeisler Just checking in about how this is going for you.

[smeisler]

Haven't had much time to work on this yet, hope to get to it tomorrow.

[miltoncamachocamacho]

Hello @smeisler have you had any luck? I am facing the same issue but using MNIInfant:cohort-2. ValueError: 'MNIInfant:cohort-2' is not in list

[WangYunHong98]

Hi @effigies

I have the same issue: ValueError: 'MNIPediatricAsym:cohort-1' is not in list. Has this issue been solved or can I use other versions released before fmriprep 23.2.1.

Best, Yunhong

[fphsFischmeister]

Hi @effigies, hi @smeisler, is there any progress on that issue or workaround? We have the same issues with ValueError: 'MNIPediatricAsym:cohort-6' is not in list but would like to proceed with fmriprep 23.2 instead switching to an older version. Thanks in advance, Florian

[effigies]

If you use the :unstable tag, you can test the next version prior to release.

[fphsFischmeister]

Hi @effigies, I tested the current : unstable version with MNIPediatricAsym: res-2:cohert-6 . Everything worked fine for me and did not produce any errors, so I'm looking forward to the 22.2.3 release.

Thanks for all the effort,

Florian

[effigies]

The release that will be included in will be 24.0.0.
