Hi Caio, Ideally you would share the data both ways, as your original arbitrary files and converted and visually displayed as parcel x parcel pconn CIFTI files on the cortex and/or in matrices in Workbench scene files. Alternatively (or additionally), you could just create scenes of your figure images from your paper, by loading image files into Workbench and display them -- I can give you further instructions on how to do this.
Either way you would then have a scene file that you can upload to BALSA along with your arbitrary files. BALSA could then display one of your scenes and have your study dataset be searchable on the BALSA homepage. If you have any questions on how to put together your dataset for BALSA, please let me know.

It is assumed that extra files are there to serve as documentation or additional figures, so currently the uploader accepts files with the following extensions: zip, txt, rtf, pdf, odt, odp, wpd, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, jpg, png, fig, m, gif, csv. A file of any type can be uploaded so long as it is in a directory contained in a zip file. Within that base directory, such files can be nested into other directories, and that is where they will appear when the dataset as a whole is downloaded. Any files uploaded outside of a zip will be assumed to exist at the base directory for the study. As a final note, files that are not directly used by a scene will not be downloaded unless the user has selected to download the entire study or has specifically selected those files for download. -John On Thu, Feb 7, 2019 at 5:08 PM Timothy Coalson <tsc...@mst.edu<mailto:tsc...@mst.edu>> wrote: As I recall, BALSA also allows arbitrary additional files to be uploaded to studies. I'm not sure about the details of how to do this, though (there is an "upload files" button in the "files" modal for a study you own, but I'm not sure where those files end up).

Most of the files are NxN connectivity matrices, where N could denote, for instance, ROIs from different parcellation schemes or resting-state functional networks. Ok, so one option is to transform these matrices into cifti files and share them through BALSA. On the one hand, this is a nice solution for it solves the user term uses. On the other, it is a bit of a roundabout way to store these files in the context of my manuscript. The matrices are used to derive graph-theoretic measures about brain organization (rather than for visualization purposes), so researchers interested in that would need to convert the cifti files back to CSV. More generally, do you suggest any methods to share HCP-derived files in an arbitrary format? Thanks in advance for the help.

See wb_command -cifti-parcellate (to make a template parcellated cifti file you can use to import data into), -cifti-label-import (to get your network ROIs into the format -cifti-parcellate wants), and -cifti-convert (and its -from-text option, to read csv or other text data and output cifti).

I used the connectomes to computed graph-theoretic measures that are part of a manuscript I am working on. My question concerns the sharing of these connectomes and graph-theoretic measures. My current understanding is that sharing this data is ok as long as I make sure users abide to the HCP data usage terms. What are your suggestions on how to do this? I've seen BALSA proposed to this end, since it provides a built-in mechanism of user terms, but my files are CSV or .mat files rather than WB scenes. Thanks in advance for your help.
