Import fmriprep output

Recently, many people have start to use fmriprep as a complete preprocessing workflow of anatomical and functional data. Pycortex has a convenience function to import the output of this workflow.

This example is based on the fmriprep 1.0.15 output of openfmri ds000164 that can be found on openneuro.org: https://openneuro.org/datasets/ds000164/versions/00001

NB: cortex.fmriprep is a work-in-progress and cannot currently handle multiple datasets when the subject IDs are the same (see https://github.com/gallantlab/pycortex/issues/304).

import cortex
from cortex import fmriprep
from os import path as op

# Location of the downloaded openfmri dataset
source_directory = '/derivatives/ds000164'
# fmriprep subject name (without "sub-")
subject_id = '001'

# import subject into pycortex database
fmriprep.import_subj(subject_id, source_directory)

# We can use visualize the imported subject's T1-weighted image
anat_nifti = 'fmriprep/sub-001/anat/sub-001_T1w_preproc.nii.gz'
t1_image_path = op.join(source_directory, anat_nifti)

# Now we can make a volume using the built-in identity transform
t1w_volume = cortex.Volume(t1_image_path, subject_id, 'identity')

# And show the result.
ds = cortex.Dataset(t1w=t1w_volume)
cortex.webgl.show(ds)
