What's next
A roadmap to the future developments of Brainstorm.
Contents
Current topics
Electrophysiology
Spike sorting interface based on WaveClus
Source modeling
- Implementation of a new unified minimum norm/beamformer framework (almost finished)
Computation
- Removing the dependence to the Java interface to run in headless mode (not started)
Call MNE-Python and FieldTrip functions from Brainstorm GUI (work in progress)
Recordings

Example: http://www.erpinfo.org/erplab/erplab-documentation/manual/Binlister.html
- EEG: Laplacian montage (see doc sent by Jeremy)
- 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
- 2DLayout:
- Overlay multiple conditions
- Does not work when DC offset is not removed
- Add a proper amplitude scale that gets updated when shift+scroll, to compare figures

- Display CTF coils: Show discs instead of squares
- Use boundary() instead of conhull() in all the display functions (ie. 2DDisc)
Connectivity

- 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 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"
- Co-registration of MEG runs:
- SSP: Group projectors coming from different files
- Finish validation of the method
- Apply to continuous recordings for correcting head movements
- Simulation:
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
- Process ft_prepare_heamodel: Add support from BEM surfaces from the Brainstorm database
Database
- Add buttons to sort files: by name, by comment, by date
- 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
- Add notes in the folders (text files, visible as nodes in the tree)
- Screen captures: save straight to the database
- 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

Source modeling
- 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
- 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"
- Dipoles:
- Project individual dipoles files on a template
- panel_dipoles: Doesn't work with multiple figures
- BEM single sphere: Get implementation from MNE
- Visualize Beamformer results:
- Read CTF SAM .svl
- Display as layers in the MRI viewer
- Unconstrained sources:
- Stat and connectivity: what to do? (re-send email John+Sylvain)
- Overlapping spheres: improve the estimation of the spheres for the frontal lobes
- Magnetic extrapolation: Do the same thing with EEG
- Noise covariance matrix:
- Display with figure_image()
- Storage of multiple noise covariance matrices (just like the head models)
- Always save as full, then at inversion time, we can decide between full, heteroskedastic (diagonal) or homoskedastic (i.i.d, scalar)
Problem of having inividual trials + averages in the condition => Display warning or not?
- Save nAvg in noisecov file, to make it easier to scale to other recordings
Sources on surface: Display peak regions over time (time = color) => A.Gramfort
Calculate ImagingKernel * Gain for a scout
- Time-frequency beamformers:
- Band-pass everything in different frequency bands + Source estimation + TF
- Ask data to Sarang where he sees effects that cannot be extracted with MN followed by TF
- Process "Extract scouts time series": Add PCA option (replace isnorm with choice PCA/Norm)
- BEM: Fix unstable results when one vertex is too close from the layers (5mm ?)
- Hui-Ling beamformers:
- More explanations about what is in NAI and Spatial filters
Explain that is this is better to study effects extended in time (Ntime > Nsensors)
- Group LCMV+MCB
- Condition LEFT median nerve: very bad results
- Keep options for inverse computation
- OpenMEEG: Post example datasets for the remaining issues:
- Example protocol ECOG: doesn't work
- Add eyes models to attract eye activity
Anatomy
- Registration:
Use the same registration for multiple recording sessions that have already re-registered previously (eg. with MaxFilter)
- Check templates: MNI transformation and volume atlases for ICBM152 vs Colin27 (loading the AAL atlas as surface or voume scouts do not align well on the ICBM152)
- 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
- Add keyboard shortcuts to scroll in the three orientations (same in MRI 3D)
- Display scouts as additional volumes
- Render surface envelope in the MRI as a thin line instead of the full interpolation matrix
- 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
BrainVISA: Add support for MarsAtlas (Guillaume A)
BrainSuite:
Use BrainSuite inner skull for surface generation
- Use same colors for left and right for anatomical atlases
- 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
- Smooth surface: Fix little spikes due to irregularities in the mesh
- Bug: Hide scouts in the preview of the grid for volume head models
ECOG/SEEG
Contact positions: Import / set / detect
- Add history: Save modifications and transformations applied to the channel files (Marcel)
- ECOG: How to handle cases where not all the grid contacts are in the channel file? (Marcel)
- Project contact positions across subjects or templates (Marcel)
- ECOG: Default names of contacts?
- Add menu to import implantation channel file in imported recordings
- Editable list of montages shortcuts
- 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
ECOG: 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
- Re-referencing:
- Create new average reference montages with a specific list of channels, with the possibility to edit the order of the channels (for Jeremy)
- Closest white reference (Arnulfo)
Alternatives to OpenMEEG: SimBio/FieldTrip? Matti Stenroos? NFT/NIST?
Statistics
- ANOVA:
- Use LENA functions(?)
- 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
- New process to test for Gaussianity using swtest
- Simulate recordings with specific properties, for stat validation
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
Input / output
XDF import: Use the EEGLAB plugin, contact Martin Bleichner (Oldenburg)
- Output .nii have incorrect sform/qform when using the options to downsample the volume of cut the empty slices
- DICOM converter:
- Add dcm2nii (MRICron)
- Add MRIConvert
FieldTrip: Import/Export time-frequency:
- 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
- References at too far from the head sensors in Marseille 4D system
- The noise compensation is considered to be always applied on the recordings, not sure this assumption is always correct
- 4D phantom tutorial (JM Badier?)

Biopac .acq: https://github.com/ieeg-portal/Biopac-Reader
- gTec EEG recordings: Read directly from the HDF5 files instead of the Matlab exports.
- BCI2000 Input (via EEGLAB plugin)
- EEGLAB import:
- Support for binary AND epoched files (now it's one or the other)
- Allow epoched files with recordings saved in external files
- BST-BIN: Add compressionto .bst
- Review raw on all the file formats (ASCII EEG and Cartool missing)
- SPM .mat/.dat: Fix the import of the EEG/SEEG coordinates

Current bugs
- Screen capture:
- Bug on Win8/Win10: doesn't capture the correct part of the screen
- Window managers with fading effect: captures the top window
- 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
- Matlab bugs:
- Interface looks small on screens with very high resolutions: Reduce the resolution
- Event markers are not visible anymore with the sequence: Open MEG, open EOG, close MEG
- in_bst_data_multi: If trials have different sizes, output is random (the one of the first file)
- Edit scout in MRI: small modifications cause huge increase of the scout size
- Canolty maps computation: Fix progress bar
Geeky programming details
- 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)
