Dear HCP community, Many researchers want to run HCP Pipelines on their own datasets, but run into problems with software dependencies and different organization of data and metadata. To help with this issue I have created an HCP Pipelines BIDS App. Like all other BIDS Apps <http://bids-apps.neuroimaging.io/> the HCP Pipelines one has the following features:
- It's portable (meaning comes with all of the dependencies with the correct versions - no need to install FSL or Freesurfer). - Runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (as well as HPCs or clusters via Singularity <http://bids-apps.neuroimaging.io/tutorial/>). - No need to specify any metadata - all you need as an input is a BIDS <http://bids.neuroimaging.io/>dataset . - The only software required (across all three platforms) is Docker <https://www.docker.com/>. - The App (which includes all dependencies) is versioned and all historical versions are preserved. This allows you to keep the same software stack intact during a longitudinal study spread over years. The App was designed to parse the input datasets, figure out which scans are available and run HCP pipelines with optimal parameters. I have tested it with the HCP example subject, but if you have data you would like to provide for testing purposes I would be very happy to take advantage of it. I hope this will make HCP pipelines accessible to more researchers. Please let me know what you think! More information how to use the HCP Pipeline App can be found here: https://github.com/BIDS-Apps/HCPPipelines Best, Chris Gorgolewski _______________________________________________ HCP-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.humanconnectome.org/mailman/listinfo/hcp-users
