What problem does it solve?
This skill addresses the complexity of fMRI preprocessing by providing a standardized, containerized pipeline that handles motion correction, field unwarping, normalization, and brain extraction, ensuring reproducible results across diverse neuroimaging datasets.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standardized Preprocessing: Executes a robust BIDS-App pipeline built on industry-standard tools like FSL, ANTs, and FreeSurfer.
- Advanced Denoising Support: Generates a comprehensive confounds table for downstream nuisance regression, including motion parameters and CompCor components.
- Use Case: A researcher needs to preprocess a multi-session BIDS dataset for a clinical study; this skill automates the entire workflow, from susceptibility distortion correction to surface resampling, while generating a detailed visual QA report for every subject.
Quick Start
Use the fmriprep skill to run the preprocessing pipeline on the BIDS dataset located at /path/to/bids and save the derivatives to /path/to/derivatives.
