Outputs

Neuroscout-CLI creates an output directory, with the name neuroscout-ANALYSIS_ID which contains both the inputs to the analysis (sourcedata), as well as the outputs of execution (fitlins).

Below is an example output directory.

  /home/user/out/neuroscout-ANALYSIS_ID
    └───sourcedata
    │   │
    │   └───DATASET
    │       └───fmriprep
    │   └───bundle
    │       └───events
    │       │   model.json
    │       │   ...
    └───fitlins
        └───sub-01
        └───reports
        |   dataset_description.json
        |   ...
    └─── options.json

sourcedata directory

In the sourcedata folder, there are two folders: one contaning the preprocessed fMRI inputs (the name of the folder is the name of the Dataset), and bundle which contains the contents of the analysis bundle for your ANALYSIS_ID.

.. note::

If specified --download-dir at run time (reccomended; to cache the input directory in a common directory), you will not find the input data directory here.

Within the bundle directory you will find the event files and BIDS Stats Model (model.json) that are used to generate the design matrix for your analysis.

.. note::

For more information about BIDS Stats Models, take a look at the official documentation.

fitlins directory

Within the fitlins directory, you will find the BIDS Derivatives compliant outputs from FitLins execution.

Within the reports folder, you can view interactive HTML reports, including a summary of your model, design matrices, and quality control visualizations.

Uploading to NeuroVault

By default, NeuroScout will upload all group and subject level results to NeuroVault, and update the NeuroScout API with the corresponding meta-data. You are free to opt out by specifiying --no-upload at runtime.
