Datasets
An increasing number of dataset are available within the Functional Fusion framework. We are focussing on datasets with a large variety of tasks within the same subjects. These datasets provide an especially powerful way to characterize brain organization. Below is a description of datasets that have been brought into the framework, some of which are openly available for download, while others are available upon request.
Contributing datasets
You can bring your imaging dataset into the required format and use the framework for analysis (see Data Import). If you want to make your datasets available, please contact us. We are happy to test your dataset, and list it here. Most of the processed datasets are stored on Zenodo, giving each preprocessed version a citable DOI. Zenodo also allows you to determine exactly with whom, when, and under which conditions, you want to share your dataset.
Using dataset
After download / organizing a dataset, you should place the Dataset folder (i.e. ‘MTDB’) into the Functional_Fusion base directory.
For automatic loading of the dataset, you need to add the following information into a file called dataset_description.tsv in the base directory. This is a tab-delimited text file with the following columns:
* name: Name of the dataset (e.g. ‘MTDB’)
* dir_name: Path to the dataset directory. Start with / for absolute path, or set relative to the Functional_Fusion base directory.
* class_name: Name of Dataset class (i.e. DataSetNative or DataSetMNIVol)
