I've updated this in v1.1.0 of the phantom database to simply "phantom". Is this fine?
Is there a BIDS term for phantom? can you please look into it and/or post on BIDS/neurostars forum?
There doesn't seem to be any information in the BIDS specification; the only part of the spec that mentions phantoms is this block about examples on dataset_description.json, which doesn't mention anything about the species
field.
The page that explains what the values for the species
value should be in participants.tsv
states that it should be a binomial species name from the NCBI Taxonomy, which is why I initially set it as homo sapiens
(since SpinozaV6 is a phantom of a human). Maybe the solution would be to set it as homo sapiens
but mention in the README that it's a database of phantom scan data?
In any case, I will make a post on the BIDS/neurostars forum asking about this.
I made a post on the BIDS/neurostars forum: https://neurostars.org/t/bids-species-name-for-phantom-subject/29149
We haven't received any responses on the post I made.
Are there any thoughts on my proposed solution of setting the species as homo sapiens
(since the BIDS documentation says it must be a valid binomial species name from the NCBI taxonomy) and adding a README that states that all these scans are from a phantom subject?
I am fine with doing that, we can change it if we ever get a reply.
I'm not a big fan of setting it to homo sapiens
because, well, it is not homo sapiens but a phantom. I would rather call it phantom
.
