Title

FLUX: A pipeline for MEG analysis and beyond

Short description and the goals for the OHBM BrainHack

FLUX is a pipeline for analysing magnetoencephalography (MEG) data. By making the analyses steps and setting explicit, it aims to facilitate open science with the larger goal of improving the replicability of MEG research. So far, the FLUX pipeline has been developed for MNE-Python and FieldTrip with a focus on the MEGIN/Elekta system. The goal of this Brainhack project is to make the FLUX pipeline more flexible by making it fully BIDS compatible, as well as expanding its application to other systems, for instance CTF, optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) and electroencephalography (EEG).

Thank you for submitting the project! We have 35 projects right now, woohoo! But that means the projects pitches will have to be short. We will give you tomorrow 2 minutes to pitch your project, you can have one slide or no slides! If you decide to use a slide, please include the link to the slide here.

And don't worry, you will still have more time to talk about your project during the BrainHack :-)
