Add 1xN and NxN submenus (Sylvain's request)

Processes

Add MNE-Python functions:
- scikit-learn classifiers
- BEM single layer (John wants to test it)
- ICA: https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/ica-on-very-long-eeg/23556/4
- https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/best-way-to-export-to-mne-python/12704/3
- Reproduce other tutorials / examples
- Sensitivity maps
- Point-spread functions (PSFs) and cross-talk functions: https://mne.tools/stable/auto_examples/inverse/plot_psf_ctf_vertices.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-inverse-plot-psf-ctf-vertices-py
- Spatial resolution metrics in source space:
  https://mne.tools/stable/auto_examples/inverse/plot_resolution_metrics.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-inverse-plot-resolution-metrics-py
- Change the graphic renderer from Matlab
Chronux toolbox : http://chronux.org/
Add FieldTrip functions:
- ft_sourceanalysis:
  - Check noise covariance
  - Check all the options of all the methods
  - 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
  - http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/beamformingextended
  - Baseline? Two inputs?
- ft_prepare_heamodel: Add support from BEM surfaces from the Brainstorm database
- Freqanalysis: ITC
- ft_volumereslice: http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/faq/how_change_mri_orientation_size_fov
- ft_freqanalysis
- ft_combineplanar
Optimization:
- Test speed for writing files:
  https://undocumentedmatlab.com/articles/improving-fwrite-performance
- 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)
ITC: Inter-trial coherence (see MNE reports for group tutorial)
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811916304232
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
- 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.

Anatomy

ICBM152 update:
- Move out default anatomy from GitHub repository:
- Process with FreeSurfer 7.2 + add FS atlases (Brainnettome, Schaeffer, HCP...)

Display spectrum scouts (PSD plots when clicking on "Display scouts" on PSD/full cortex)

ECOG/SEEG

Contact positions: Import / set / detect
- New option: Align on none|inner|cortex to replace ECOG-mid
- Project contact positions across subjects or templates (Marcel)
  Right-click on channel file > Project on default anatomy
Create clusters from anatomical labels:
- Identify contacts in a given 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:
- GARDEL: http://meg.univ-amu.fr/wiki/GARDEL:presentation
- SEEG DEETO Arnulfo 2015: https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-015-0511-6
  - Used routinely at Niguarda Hospital + other hospitals worldwide, reliable tool.
  - To be used with SEEG-assistant/3DSlicer: https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-017-1545-8
- ECOG Centracchio 2021: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11548-021-02325-0.pdf

- 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)
  Normalization MNI? solutions with FieldTrip?
Display:
- Bad channels: Contacts greyed out instead of ignored (Marcel)
- Display time in H:M:S
- Display curved SEEG electrodes
Detection CEEP stim artifacts: Use ImaGIN code ImaGIN_StimDetect

Statistics

Stat/time series: Hide lines going down to zero (Dimitrios: https://neuroimage.usc.edu/forums/t/common-source-activation-across-subjects-and-conditions/1152/21)
Cluster stat: Add frequency selection option
ANOVA:

== Database ==
 * Rename protocol

 * 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

  * 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

  * Remove all the wiki pages that are not used
  * Check all the links in all the pages
  * Check that all the TODO blocks have been properly handled
  * Remove useless images from all tutorials

- * 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
 * 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

- * 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.
+ * Replace all calls to inpolyhd.m with inpolyhedron.m (10x faster)

- * 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
