Project Description

We are working on developing a QA pipeline for simultaneously collected fMRI-EEG data so that the user can determine whether the data is denoised and clean enough for further analyses.

Preprocessing is a critical step in neuroimaging analysis, laying the foundation for accurate and meaningful scientific discoveries. We need help configuring a pipeline to quality check for multiple datasets. This project will allow attendees with or without experience handling fMRI/EEG data to get a chance to work with what we call the “raw data”. Working on a QC pipeline includes devising visuals of what the data looks like at various stages to make sure that the preprocessing is working as you expected and the data collected is good quality for future analyses. Toolboxes used include AFNI, FSL, ANTs, chronux, etc.

Goals for Brainhack Global

Good first issues

  1. issue one: organizing and deciding on best QA for both fMRI and EEG modalities
  2. issue two: experimenting with toolboxes to get various plots or figures for the QA step of interest
  3. issue three: develop an outline of a script that will output a clean, clear, and easy to use pdf or html of QA figures

What will participants learn?

Participants will:

Data to use

Public HCP dataset for deidentified fMRI data (https://www.humanconnectome.org/study/hcp-young-adult) .

Previously collected and deidentified EEG data from a home collected data where pieces have been made publicly available on https://github.com/neurdylab/fMRIAlertnessDetection .
