Recordings

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:
- 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
Bad trials: When changing the status of bad to good: remove the bad segments as well, otherwise it is not processed by processes like the PSD.
Review clinical recordings: Reduce the dimensionality of the data with a simple inverse problem, similar to what we do for the magnetic extrapolation ("Regional sources" in BESA, cf S Rampp)
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)
Smooth display from figure_image (ERPimage, raster plot...)
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
Use boundary() instead of conhull() in all the display functions (ie. 2DDisc)
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 the 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)
Display of connectivity graphs:
- Display as straight lines
- Recode 2D graphs
- 3D display with anatomical constrains
- Display using real position of EEG electrodes
Use new band-pass filters in bst_connectivity ('bst-hfilter' instead of 'bst-fft-fir')
Matrix view of NxN graphs: Add legend of the elements along X and Y axis
Weighted Phase Lag Index (WPLI)
Graph view:
- Does not display negative values correctly (correlation or difference of coherence)
- Re-write using pure Matlab code and smoothed graphics
- Fixed scales for intensity sliders
- Text bigger
- Too much data in appdata
- Fixed scales for intensity sliders
- Add "=" shortcut for having graphs with similar configurations
- Disable zoom in one region (serious bugs)
- NxN on sensors: does not place the sensors correctly in space
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:
- Add p-values
- Remove evoked
- Optimize code
- Add time integration
- Unconstrained sources
- Add warning when running of short windows (because of filters)
Time-resolved correlation/coherence: Display as time bands
Tutorial coherence [1xN] : Reproduce FieldTrip results?
Connect NxN: Display as time series > Display warning before trying to open too many signals

Processes

Decoding/Classifiers: Implement Dimitrios and scikit-learn algorithms
Allow processes in Python and Java
Add MNE-Python functions:
- scikit-learn classifiers

  - 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

- 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)
- When computing sources from the pipeline editor: doesn't reselect the options if you click twice on "edit" (works for minnorm, but not for lcmv)
ITC: Inter-trial coherence (see MNE reports for group tutorial)
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811916304232
ICA:
- 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
- Use faster methods (MNE-Python?)
- 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
- S Makeig: Use ICA to select the IC of interest instead of only removing artifacts
- Display of spectrum for components (PSD/FFT)
- 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/
Other EEGLAB functions:
- Step function detection: https://github.com/lucklab/erplab/wiki/Artifact-Detection:-Tutorial
SSP:
- Display warning if changing the ChannelFlag while there is a Projector applied
Spectral flattening (John):
- ARIMA(5,0,1): Apply on the signal before any frequency/connectivity/PAC analysis
PSD:
- Rewrite to have the same input as coherence (frequency resolution instead of window length)
- Allow display of Avg+StdErr
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
- Matching pursuit: http://m.jneurosci.org/content/36/12/3399.abstract?etoc

- Bug: Difference of power displayed in log: problems (Soheila)
- 2D Layout in spectrum
- Make much faster and more memory efficient (C functions coded by Matti ?)
- TF scouts: should display average of TF maps
- Impossible to keep complex values for unconstrained sources
- Pad short epochs with zero values for getting lower frequencies
- 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.
- Extend clusters tab to display of TF to overlay TF signals (Svet)
- When normalizing with baseline: Propagate with the edge effects marked in TFmask
- Allow baseline normalization of files computed with time bands
- 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.
Artifact detection:
- Artifact rejection like SPM: if bad in 20%, bad everywhere
- Test difference between adjacent samples
Events detection: Add option "std" vs "amplitude"
Simulation:
- EEGSourceSim: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165027019302341
- Fix units in simulation processes => no *1e-9 in "simulate recordings"
- Use "add noise" process from Hui-Ling (in Work/Dev/Divers)
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

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:
- Set loose parameter from the interface
- Bug when displaying interpolated in MRI viewer
Volume grid:
- Optimize: 3D display (better than 9x9 cubes)
- Optimize: vol_dilate (with 26 neighbors)
Menu Sources > Simulate recordings:
- Do not close the 3D figures after generating a new file
- Add a process equivalent to this menu
Panel Get coordinates: Add button "find maximum"
BEM single sphere: Get implementation from MNE
Unconstrained sources:

Sources on surface: Display peak regions over time (time = color) => A.Gramfort
Process "Extract scouts time series": Add PCA option (replace isnorm with choice PCA/Norm)
Add eyes models to attract eye activity
Display source maps on a flat 2D cortex projection (Mollweide projection): https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/source-model-display-and-output/13940/5

Anatomy

CAT12: Optimize interpolation of atlases (import is super slow...)
SimNIBS: Replace HEADRECO with CHARM (headreco will be removed in SimNIBS 4)
Baby templates: Add electrodes positions (at least 10-10)
Keep ASEG volume + display region name in MRI viewer
Multi-Scale Brain Parcellator (Lausanne2008):
MNI transformation: Use SPM non-linear MNI transformation y_...
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)
- When linking multiple EEG recordings including 3D positions, do the registration only once and copy it to all the runs
- Compute non-linear MNI registration instead of linear
- 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
- Edit fiducials: Replace 6 text boxes with 1 for easy copy-paste (see fiducials.m)
- 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)
FEM templates for different ages:
- Pediatric head atlases: https://www.pedeheadmod.net/pediatric-head-atlases-v1-2/
- https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2057-1976/ab4c76
- https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2020/02/09/2020.02.07.939447.full.pdf
- John Richards: https://www.nitrc.org/frs/?group_id=1361
MRI to FEM mesh generation :
- Process the FEM cortex/source space (either from CAT or SimNibs) and fit all the dipoles within the grey matter (important in the case where white matter and scf are considered) to acheive the Venant condition (also for other source models
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
Bug: Hide scouts in the preview of the grid for volume head models
Geodesic distance calculations:
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/6110-toolbox-fast-marching

ECOG/SEEG

Electrodes models: Import / export
Contact positions: Import / set / detect
- New option: Align on none|inner|cortex to replace ECOG-mid
- Add history: Save modifications and transformations applied to the channel files (Marcel)
- Project contact positions across subjects or templates (Marcel)
- Add menu to import implantation channel file in imported recordings
SEEG/ECOG: Identify contacts in resected areas / identify ROIs for each contact
SEEG/ECOG: Identify contacts in a give 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:
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

Input / output

Bug import multiple files: use same "time" for all files
BIDS import:
- Read real fiducials
- Read associated empty room
- Test all the BIDS examples
BIDS Export:
- Add events ts, channel tsv, EEG, iEEG
XDF import: Use FieldTRip or the EEGLAB plugin, contact Martin Bleichner (Oldenburg)
https://github.com/sccn/xdf/blob/master/xdf_sample.xdf
DICOM converter:
- Add dcm2nii (MRICron)
- Add MRIConvert
FieldTrip: Import/Export time-frequency:

- Import: http://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/import-time-frequency-data-from-fieldtrip/2644
4D file format:
- Use reader from MNE-Python: mne.io.read_raw_kit (doesn't require Yokogawa slow library)
- 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
- The noise compensation is considered to be always applied on the recordings, not sure this assumption is always correct
- 4D phantom tutorial (JM Badier?)
EEG File formats:
- EEG CeeGraph
- EGI: Finish support for epoched files (formats 3,5,7)

- gTec EEG recordings: Read directly from the HDF5 files instead of the Matlab exports.
BCI2000 Input (via EEGLAB plugin)
BST-BIN: Add compression to .bst
Review raw on all the file formats (ASCII EEG and Cartool missing)
SPM .mat/.dat: Fix the import of the EEG/SEEG coordinates

- 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
in_bst_data_multi: If trials have different sizes, output is random (the one of the first file)
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)
Hide Java panels instead of deleting them
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)
Optimize bst_get:
- Now study and subject have necessarily the same folder name
- Replace big switch with separate functions
Fix all the 'todo' blocks in the code

  * 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

 * 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

 * 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
