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:
- 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

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

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 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
- 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: Display logs as negative
- Bug: 3D figures: Colormaps with "log" option doesn't work
- 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
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)

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

- When linking multiple EEG recordings including 3D positions, do the registration only once and copy it to all the runs
- 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)
USCBrain: Add default electrodes positions
FEM templates for different ages:

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 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

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)
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

- * 2D topographies:
  * Nicer topographies with circle around 2DDisc (similar to EEGLAB plots)
  * Standardized plots (using FieldTrip .lay files?)
  * Aligned on the midline at least
  * Contour lines sometimes messed up with Elekta recordings
  * Make the surface on which the values are interpolated simpler
+ * 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:
  * 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)
-Line 31:

- * 2DLayout:
  * Use the same standard positions, too much space between sensors (Recordings + TF)
  * Overlay multiple conditions
  * RAW files: Doesn't work when changing page => need refresh of GlobalData.Preferences.TopoLayoutOptions.TimeWindow
  * Same shortcuts as the raw file viewer (right-click + move for gain)
 * RAW file viewer:
  * Pre-load next page of recordings
  * Events: advanced process for recombining.
  * Example:  http://www.erpinfo.org/erplab/erplab-documentation/manual/Binlister.html
 * Bad channels specified at the program level (for sites that have permanent bad channels: AS)
 * Images of amplitude: [sensor x time], [trial x time], scout: [trial x time]
  * Can be done with Matrix > View as image: extract cluster, concatenate for all trials
 * Filtering:
  * Use short FIR filters instead of IIR for bandpass, to limit the ringing

-  * (TF) Images are too far apart with EEG 20 channels
  * (time series) Sometimes the lines are not visible
  * (time series) Does not work when DC offset is not removed
+  * (TF) Units are weird with % values
  * (TF) Difficult to navigate in frequencies: Scaling+changing frequency resets the scaling
