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)
Functional connectivity
- Significance thresholding of the connectivity matrices (not started)
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
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
- Add field "comment" to markers: For clinicians to add notes (Marcel)
- Events: Change the category of a selected event easily, instead of deleting/marking new
Events: Advanced process for recombining.
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
- Update the vertical lines when changing the gain (shift+scroll)
- Create heat maps: Maybe with matlab function heatmap?
Interface
Add a warning when computing a forward model with > 100000 sources (check selection)
- Start Brainstorm without Java (-nodesktop)
- Multiple screens: Add option to set on which display the main bst window should be
File filters: Add boolean logic: https://github.com/brainstorm-tools/brainstorm3/issues/68
- 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
- Create a colormap similar to MNE, where extrema are bright
- Global colormap max: Should get the maximum across all the open files
- Open new figures as tab (docked in the Figures window)
- Copy figures to clipboard (with the screencapture function)
- Removing all the CTRL and SHIFT in the keyboard shortcuts
- Display warning before opening files that are too big
- 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)
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
- Use new band-pass filters in bst_connectivity ('bst-hfilter' instead of 'bst-fft-fir')
Review by Jan-Mathijs: http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fnsys.2015.00175/full
- Connectivity based on band limited power (Sylvain):
- Compute Hilbert/Bandpass + correlation of the envelopes
- Bandpass envelopes before computing correlations?

- 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

- 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:
- Crashes sometimes: improve stability

- Esther recommended a larger frequency binning of the PAC estimation
- PAC maps: Display all sensors at once (like TF and DynamicPAC)
- Hui-Ling's PAC:
- Time-resolved correlation/coherence: Display as time bands
- Other metrics:
- Coherence by bands: bst_coherence_band_welch.m
- Granger by bands: bst_granger_band.m
- Inter-trial coherence
Tutorial coherence [1xN] : Reproduce FieldTrip results?

Processes
- Use CUDA for speeding up some operations (filtering, wavelets, etc)
- Allow processes in Python and Java
- Add MNE-Python functions:
- scikit-learn classifiers: S Marti / G Dehaene
- Implement data exchange with MNE-Python: write FIF files from Brainstorm and/or pass python objects in memory instead of FIF files
- SSS/tSSS cleaning
- Reproduce other tutorials / examples
- Change the graphic renderer from Matlab
Add FieldTrip functions:
- ft_sourceanalysis:
- Check noise covariance

- 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-demohttp://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/beamformingextended

ITC: Inter-trial coherence (see MNE reports for group tutorial)
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811916304232- ICA:
- 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
- Add a stand-alone tutorial
- 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?)
- Add methods: SOBI, Fastica, AMICA/CUDICA (recommended by S Makeig)
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)
- Use FastICA (algo crashing)
- Add components preselection: Correlation with EOG/ECG
- 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
- Save IC time series in database
- SSP:
Display warning if changing the ChannelFlag while there is a Projector applied
Show where the attenuation is projected:
(sum(IK,2)-sum(SSP(k,:)*IK,2)./sum(IK,2)
- Pipeline editor:
- 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)
- When computing time-frequency/hilbert/psd: Find a way not to force the user to click on Edit
- Bandpass:
- Use new filters in all the functions using a bandpass ('bst-hfilter' instead of 'bst-fft-fir'): process_evt_detect_threshold
- Weird bug: Filter(import) != Import(Filter) in the HCP tutorial... to investigate
- Bandpass
- 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)
- Use the progress bar
Allow display of Avg+StdErr
Remove line noise: http://www.nitrc.org/projects/cleanline
- Use Matlab Coder to optimize some processes: Wavelets, bandpass filter, sinusoid removal
- Reports: Click on link reopens exactly the figure
- 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 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
- Other processes:
- Moving average
- Max
- Median
- 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)
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

Documentation: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/faq#distributed_computing_with_fieldtrip_and_matlab
Various initiatives: http://samirdas.github.io/Data_sharing.html#/
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

- 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

- 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
- PLS: Partial Least Squares
- 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

- 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

- 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)
- 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
- Fix all the 'todo' blocks in the code
- Error message: Add a link to report directly the bug on the forum
