Recordings

Default montages for EEG (sensor selection)
Sleep scoring wish list (Emily C):
- Configurable horizontal lines (for helping detecting visually some thresholds)
- Mouse ruler: Measure duration and amplitude by dragging the mouse.
- Automatic spindle detector
- https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/page-overlap-while-reviewing-raw-file-a-way-to-set-to-0/11229/13
RAW file viewer speed:
- Downsample before filtering? (attention to the filter design)
- Add parameter to make the visual downsampling more or less aggressive
- Pre-load next page of recordings
- Keep the filter specifications in memory instead of recomputing for every page
MEG/EEG registration: Apply the same transformation to multiple runs
Create heat maps: Maybe with matlab function heatmap?
BioSemi: Add menu "Convert naming system" to rename channels into 10-10 (A1=>FPz)

Interface

Add a warning when computing a forward model with > 100000 sources (check selection)
Snapshot: Save as image / all figures (similar to Movie/all figure)
Generalize the use of the units (field .DisplayUnits): Rewrite processes to save the units correctly
Colormaps:
- Allow brightness/contrast manipulations on the custom colormaps
- Global colormap max: Should get the maximum across all the open files
Copy figures to clipboard (with the screencapture function)
Contact sheets & movies: use average of time windows instead of single instants, for each picture.
Contact sheets: Allow explicit list of times in input (+ display as in MNE-Python with TS)
Display CTF coils: Show discs instead of squares
Progress bar: Add a "Cancel" button
Error message: Add a link to report directly the bug on the forum
Reorganize menus (Dannie's suggestion):

Connectivity

Thresholding and stat tests for connectivity matrices
Connectivity on unconstrained sources: "Default signal extraction for volume grids should be the time series of the first principal component of the triplet signals after each has been zero-meaned" (SB)
Connect NxN display:
- Graph on sensors: does not place the sensors correctly in space
- Display as image: Add legend of the elements along X and Y axis
- Display as time series: Display warning before trying to open too many signals
Time-resolved correlation/coherence: Display as time bands
Weighted Phase Lag Index (WPLI)
Coherence: Average cross-spectra instead of concatenating epochs (to avoid discontinuities)
Explore inter-trial approaches (Esther refers to chronux toolbox)
Granger: Check for minimum time window (Esther: min around 500-1000 data points)
PLV:
- Remove evoked
- Add time integration
- Unconstrained sources
- Add warning when running of short windows (because of filters)

Processes

Plugin manager:
- Export all the software environment to a .zip file (brainstorm + all plugins)
Generate fully reproducible scripts, including all the interactive/graphical parts:
- Saving all the interactive operations as process calls
- Improving the pipeline editor to handle loops over data files or subjects
- Keeping a better track of the provenance of all the data (History field, and maybe more uniform file names)
Add MNE-Python functions:
- scikit-learn classifiers
- https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/ica-on-very-long-eeg/23556/4
- https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/best-way-to-export-to-mne-python/12704/3

- Spatial resolution metrics in source space:
  https://mne.tools/stable/auto_examples/inverse/plot_resolution_metrics.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-inverse-plot-resolution-metrics-py
- Change the graphic renderer from Matlab
Add FieldTrip functions:
- ft_sourceanalysis:
  - Check noise covariance
  - Check all the options of all the methods
  - Single trial reconstructions + noise covariance?
  - Filters?? http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/example/common_filters_in_beamforming
  - Beamformers: Save ftSource.avg.mom
    http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/workshop/meg-uk-2015/fieldtrip-beamformer-demo
  - http://www.natmeg.se/ft_beamformer/beamformer.html
  - http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/beamformingextended
  - Baseline? Two inputs?
- ft_prepare_heamodel: Add support from BEM surfaces from the Brainstorm database
- Freqanalysis: ITC
- ft_volumereslice: http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/faq/how_change_mri_orientation_size_fov
- ft_freqanalysis
- ft_combineplanar
Optimization:
- Use CUDA for speeding up some operations (filtering, wavelets, etc)
- Use Matlab Coder to optimize: Wavelets, bandpass filter, sinusoid removal
Pipeline editor:
- Bug: After "convert to continuous", the time of the following processes should change
- Add loops over subjects/conditions/trial groups
- Events: Allow selection from a drop-down list (similar to option "channelname" in panel_process_selection)
ITC: Inter-trial coherence (see MNE reports for group tutorial)
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811916304232
ICA:
- Add Alex's suggestions: https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/ica-on-very-long-eeg/23556/4
- Add methods: SOBI, Fastica, AMICA/CUDICA/CUDAAMICA (recommended by S Makeig)
- Why doesn't the ICA process converge when using 25 components in the EEG tutorial?
- Add an option to resample the signals before computing the ICA decomposition
- Exploration: Add window with spectral decomposition (useful for muscle artifacts)
- Export IC time series (and then compute their spectrum): solves the problem above
- Comparison JADE/Infomax:
  http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0030135
- Dimension reduction with PCA adds artifacts: Not done by default in EEGLAB
  Contact: Stephen Shall Jones ( shall-jones@infoscience.otago.ac.nz )
  Student Carl Leichter detailed this in his thesis
- Import ICA matrices available in EEGLAB .set files
- EEGLAB recommends ICA + trial rejection + ICA again: Impossible right now with Brainstorm
  (http://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/Chapter_09:_Decomposing_Data_Using_ICA)
- ICA+machine learning: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28497769
- Automated artifact rejection: https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.08194
- Use EYE-EEG: EEGLAB toolbox for eye-tracker guided ICA (Olaf Dimigen): http://www2.hu-berlin.de/eyetracking-eeg/
SSP:
- Display warning if changing the ChannelFlag while there is a Projector applied
Remove line noise: http://www.nitrc.org/projects/cleanline
Time-frequency:
- Optimization: bst_timefreq (around l.136), remove evoked in source space: Average should be computed in sensor space instead of source space (requested by Dimitrios)
- Short-time Fourier transform: http://www.mikexcohen.com/lectures.html
- Bug: Display logs as negative
- Bug: 3D figures: Colormaps with "log" option doesn't work
- Bug: Difference of power displayed in log: problems (Soheila)
- TF scouts: should display average of TF maps
- Impossible to keep complex values for unconstrained sources
- Hilbert with time bands very slow on very long files (eg. 3600s at 1000Hz) because the time vector is still full (10^7 values): save compressed time vector instead.
- When normalizing with baseline: Propagate with the edge effects marked in TFmask
- Allow running TF on montages
- Review continuous files in time-frequency space (for epilepsy)
- Bug when computing TF on constrained and unconstrained scouts at the same time (in mixed head models for instance): uses only the constrained information and doesn't sum the 3 orientations for the unconstrained regions.
Use field process field "Group" to separate Input/Processing/Output options
Use new Matlab functions: movmean, movsum, movmedian, movmax, movmin, movvar, movstd

Database

MEG protocols: More flexible organization of the database; sub-conditions to allow different runs X different conditions.
Matrix files: Allow to be dependent from other files
Rename multiple files
Default headmodel lost when reloaded: Keep selection on the hard drive (in brainstormstudy.mat)
Auto-save:
- protocol.mat can be too big: do not store the results links in it (and recreate when loading)- http://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/abnormally-slow-behavior/2065/10
- Improve auto-save: add tracking file next to protocol.mat, do not save all the time, only when closing app, and reload protocol at stratup if tracking file is still there

Distributed computing

Dipoles:
- Project individual dipoles files on a template
- panel_dipoles: Doesn't work with multiple figures
Project sources: Very poor algorithm to project sub-cortical regions and cerebellum (algorithm to fit surfaces should be imrpoved)
Menu head model > Copy to other conditions/subjects (check if applicable first)
Menu Sources > Maximum value: Doesn't work with volume or mixed head models
Mixed head models:
- Bug when displaying interpolated in MRI viewer
Volume grid:
- Optimize: 3D display (better than 9x9 cubes)

Multi-Scale Brain Parcellator (Lausanne2008):
Registration:
- Getting electrode positions from 3D scanners: https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/Get_chanlocs
- GARDEL: http://meg.univ-amu.fr/wiki/GARDEL:presentation
- Use the same registration for multiple recording sessions that have already re-registered previously (eg. with MaxFilter)

- Select and remove bad digitized head points before automatic coregistration
- Load the MNE -transf.fif: http://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/showthread.php?2830
MRI Viewer:
- Pan in zoomed view (shift + click + move?)
- Zoom in/out with mouse (shift + scroll?)
- Ruler tool to measure distances
- Display scouts as additional volumes
- Render surface envelope in the MRI as a thin line instead of the full interpolation matrix
  Or use inpolyhedron to get a surface mask and then erode it to get the volume envelope
- Optimize computation interpolation MRI-surface (tess_tri_interp) => spm_mesh_to_grid
BrainSuite:
- Add new labels to all BrainSuite anatomy templates
- Use same colors for left and right for anatomical atlases
- Use for volume coregistration (rigid / non-rigid)
USCBrain: Add default electrodes positions

Scouts:
- Display edges in the middle of the faces instead of the vertices
- Display scouts in a tree: hemisphere, region, subregion
- Sort scouts by region in process options
- Downsample to atlas: allow on timefreq/connect files
- Project from one hemisphere to the other using registered spheres/squares (http://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/how-to-create-mirror-roi-in-the-other-hemisphere/5910/8)
Parcellating volume grids: scikit-learn.cluster.Ward
Major bug when importing surfaces for an MRI that was re-oriented manually
Surface>Volume interpolation: Use spm_mesh_to_grid

SEEG/ECOG: Identify contacts in resected areas / identify ROIs for each contact
SEEG/ECOG: Identify contacts in a given anatomical region (volume scout, surface mesh, or label in a volume atlas) / allow extracting the signals from all the contacts in an ROI
Automatic segmentation of CT:
- GARDEL: http://meg.univ-amu.fr/wiki/GARDEL:presentation
- SEEG DEETO Arnulfo 2015: https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-015-0511-6
  - Used routinely at Niguarda Hospital + other hospitals worldwide, reliable tool.
  - To be used with SEEG-assistant/3DSlicer: https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-017-1545-8

- SEEG Granados 2018 (no code shared): https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11548-018-1740-8.pdf
ECOG:
- Project and display contacts on cortex surface should consider the rigidity of the grids: Contacts cannot rotate, and distance between contacts should remain constant across runs
- Method for contacts projection: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f10d/6b899d851f3c4b115404298d7b997cf1d5ab.pdf
- ECOG: Brain shift: When creating contact positions on a post-implantation image, the brain shift should be taken into account for creating images of the ECOG contacts on the pre-op brain => iELVis (http://ielvis.pbworks.com/w/page/116347253/FrontPage)
Display:
- Bad channels: Contacts greyed out instead of ignored (Marcel)
- Display time in H:M:S
- Display curved SEEG electrodes
Export list of contacts with a probability of anatomical regions from various atlases: https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/seeg-contacts-anatomical-location/14756
Detection CEEP stim artifacts: Use ImaGIN code ImaGIN_StimDetect

Statistics

ANOVA:
- Which functions to use?
- Write panel similar to Process1 and Process2 to allow the
- Output = 1 file per effect, all grouped in a node "ANOVA"
- Display several ANOVA maps (from several files) on one single figure, using a "graphic accumulator", towards which one can send any type of graphic object
Quality control before statistics, on condition averages across subjects:
mean(baseline)/std(baseline): shows bad subject quickly.
Use SurfStat: Impements interesting things, like an analytical cluster-based p-value correction (Random-field theory which is used in SPM) - Peter
Export to R or SPSS for advanced stat

- Reference gradiometers: Keep the orientation of the first or second coil?
- Reference gradiometers: Add the sensor definition from coil_def.dat
- Validate with phantom recordings that noise compensation is properly taken into account

Current bugs

MacOS 10.14.5 (Mojave):
- Toggle buttons do not show their status
- Panel Record: Text is too large for text boxes
Image viewer:
- Difficult to get to 100%
- Buggy on some systems
2DLayout:
- (TF) Units are weird with % values
- (TF) Difficult to navigate in frequencies: Scaling+changing frequency resets the scaling
Progress bar:
- Doesn't close properly on some Linux systems
- Focus requests change workspace when processing constantly (Linux systems)
MacOS bugs:
- Buttons {Yes,No,Cancel} listed backwards
- Record tab: Text of epoch number is too big
- Colormap menus: Do not work well on compiled MacOSX 10.9.5 and 10.10
Canolty maps computation: Fix progress bar

Geeky programming details

Replace all calls to inpolyhd.m with inpolyhedron.m
bst_bsxfun: After 2016b, we can use directly the scalar operators (./ .* ...) instead of bsxfun. Update bst_bsxfun to skip the use of bsxfun when possible.
Interface scaling: Rewrite class IconLoader to scale only once the icons at startup instead of at each request of an icon (might improve the speed of the rendering of the tree)
Processes with "radio" and "radio_line" options: Replace with "radio_label" and "radio_linelabel"
Interpolations: Use scatteredInterpolant, griddedInterpolant, triangulation.nearestNeighbor (2014b)
bst_warp and channel_project: Use tess_parametrize_new instead of tess_parametrize
Shared kernels: "get bad channels" operation in a different way (reading all the files is too slow)

- * Workshops:
  * Create scouts doesn't work: scout created on the other side of the brain
  * Import anatomy folder: Out of memory sometimes (restart Matlab)
  * Bandpass filter: Out of memory (Auditory workshop)
 * Bug workshop Michael (Mint 12/gnome3/linux 3.0.0-12, KWin/Mutter/Compiz)
  * Cannot import two .ds folders at once
  * Colors inverted in the PSD/TF plots (power vs. log)
  * Cannot type the name of a channel in "Detect ECG"
 * Image viewer: Difficult to get to 100%
+ * MacOS 10.14.5 (Mojave):
  * Toggle buttons do not show their status
  * Panel Record: Text is too large for text boxes
 * Image viewer:
  * Difficult to get to 100%
  * Buggy on some systems
 * 2DLayout:
  * (TF) Units are weird with % values
  * (TF) Difficult to navigate in frequencies: Scaling+changing frequency resets the scaling
 * Progress bar:
  * Doesn't close properly on some Linux systems
  * Focus requests change workspace when processing constantly (Linux systems)
 * MacOS bugs:
  * Buttons {Yes,No,Cancel} listed backwards
  * Record tab: Text of epoch number is too big
  * Colormap menus: Do not work well on compiled MacOSX 10.9.5 and 10.10
-Line 306:

- * Smooth TF windows that contain multiple plots
 * Record tab: Text of epoch number is too big on MacOS
 * in_bst_data_multi: If trials have different sizes, output is random (the one of the first file)
 * tree_dependencies: sources files, reprojected on default anatomy; If  based on data files that are bad trials, they should be ignored by  tree_dependencies, and they are not
 * Image viewer has some bugs on some systems
 * Screen capture when there is a fading effect in the window manager: captures the window
 * Close figure with coherence results should hide the "frequency" slider
 * Edit scout in MRI: small modifications cause huge increase of the scout size
 * Reports: Text size is too small with Java 1.5 (2006b-2007a)
 * Optimize MRI viewer with patch() instead of image()
 * Matlab 2014b bug with rmdir/movefile: Enter but never returns from the call
 * 2DLayout (time series):
  * Sometimes the lines are not visible
  * Does not work when DC offset is not removed
 * 2DLayout (TF): Images are too far apart with EEG 20 channels
-Line 323:
+Line 348:
- * Removing all the CTRL and SHIFT in the keyboard shortcuts
 * Hide Java panels instead of deleting them
 * mri2scs: convert arguments to meters
 * Interpolations: Use scatteredInterpolant, griddedInterpolant, triangulation.nearestNeighbor (Matlab 2014b)
+ * Replace all calls to inpolyhd.m with inpolyhedron.m
 * bst_bsxfun: After 2016b, we can use directly the scalar operators (./ .* ...) instead of bsxfun. Update bst_bsxfun to skip the use of bsxfun when possible.
 * Interface scaling: Rewrite class IconLoader to scale only once the icons at startup instead of at each request of an icon (might improve the speed of the rendering of the tree)
 * Processes with "radio" and "radio_line" options: Replace with "radio_label" and "radio_linelabel"
 * Interpolations: Use scatteredInterpolant, griddedInterpolant, triangulation.nearestNeighbor (2014b)

+Line 354:
- * Shared kernels: do the "get bad channels" operation in a different way (reading all the files is too slow)
 * Optimize bst_get:
  * Now study and subject have necessarily the same folder name
  * Replace big switch with separate functions
 * Progress bar:
  * Add different levels (to handle sub-processes)
  * Make work correctly with RAW on resting tutorial
  * Uniformize calls in bst_process/Run
  * Add a "Cancel" button
 * Line smoothing / anti-aliasing (time series figures)
 * Fix all the 'todo' blocks in the code
 * Replace handle "0" with bst_get('groot')
 * At the end of bst_startup in compiled mode, replace loop with waitfor(jFrame)
 * Error message: Add a link to report directly the bug on the forum
 * in_bst_results (isFull=1): DataFile should be relative
+ * Shared kernels: "get bad channels" operation in a different way (reading all the files is too slow)
