- Automatic spindle detector
https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/page-overlap-while-reviewing-raw-file-a-way-to-set-to-0/11229/13

Simulations: https://github.com/lrkrol/SEREEGA
Coregistration
- Template channel file on a subject anatomy: Apply the MNI transform
- MEG/EEG registration: Apply the same transformation to multiple runs
Pre-processing
- Integrate with EYE-EEG (Olaf Dimigen)
Reproduce tutorial: https://www.eyetracking-eeg.org/tutorial.html
- Create EYE-EEG plugin + processes (Raphael Lambert)
- Process: Detect sacades (extended events) + fixations

- 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)

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

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
Reproducibility toolbox
- Generate fully reproducible scripts, including all the interactive/graphical parts
- Record all GUI actions as script calls
- Import window: Add button to create the corresponding processing pipeline (to generate script or to edit additional options)
- Adding the list of plugins to the reports (optionnal or foldable)
- Better provenance: History fields, uniform file names...
- Improving the pipeline editor to handle loops over data files or subjects
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)
- 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
- Error message: Add a link to report directly the bug on the forum
- Reorganize menus (Dannie's suggestion
Database
- Save iHeadModel somewhere in the datbase structure
Generalize the use of the units (field .DisplayUnits)
Connectivity
- Thresholding and stat tests for connectivity matrices:
- Panel Display: Show only the top N% measures
- 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
- Optimize display: use surface() instead of line() for links? (as in figure_3d/PlotFibers)
- Time-resolved correlation/coherence: Display as time bands
- Add 1xN and NxN submenus (Sylvain's request)
Processes
- Add MNE-Python functions:
- scikit-learn classifiers

ITC: Inter-trial coherence (see MNE reports for group tutorial)
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811916304232Remove 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
- 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.
