Neuroimager

This package provides some utilities used for MRI data analysis. And some of them also support SKLearn Pipeline. The tools, especially the pipelines are built based on my personal projects, so it may not be very general and suits your need. But I will try to make it more general if I am able to do.

Major Recent Updates:

• Pretrained neurosynth decoder (nimare correlation decoder) with selected features.
• Compare all maps provided by neuromaps.
• Presentation-ready surface plot of brain state map.
• Biplot for decompose algorithm such as PCS.

NOTE!!! This package is still under development and heavily tested, expected to be unstable when used in your analysis.

Aims

This package aims to make 'standard' neuroimaging analysis easier. In most cases, it is not suitable for developing a new analysis pipeline, but some handy small functions may still be helpful to you. Such as atlas operation, permutation-based statistics, matrix transformation, etc.

Main Functions

• Build wrapper classes for some common analyses used in MRI analysis (Actually, in my own analysis)
• Permutation-based statatistics
• Matrix data ML preprocessing and analysis
• Nice plotting functions

Styles

• Preprocess and analyze data using SKLearn transformer style API (Ideally)
• Plotting aims to be seaborn style

A Highly Warpped Pipeline for Task-fMRI Analysis

This is built on top of nilearn pipeline, doing 1st level and 3rd level analysis as defined by FSL. Only a few parameters need to be set, and the pipeline will do the rest. See example scripts for more details.

task_pipe = Pipeline(
    [
        (
            "first_level",
            FirstLevelPipe(
                tr=TR,
                contrasts=first_contrasts,
                out_dir=first_out,
                prep_func=proc_img,
                first_level_kwargs=first_level_kwargs,
            ),
        ),
        (
            "higher_level",
            HigherLevelPipe(
                tr=TR,
                design_matrix=higher_design,
                contrasts=higher_contrasts,
                non_parametric=non_parametric,
                out_dir=higher_out,
                higher_level_kwargs=second_level_kwargs,
            ),
        ),
    ]
)

results = task_pipe.fit(
    (all_img, confounds, confounds_items, events),
)

Automatic Analysis of HMM model estimated by HMM-MAR

Get all model selection metrics and generate an HTML report

Convert the hmm object derived from the following command of HMM-MAR Toolbox [hmm, Gamma, Xi, vpath] = hmmmar(f,T,options); to a Python Dictionary for further processing

from neuroimager.pipes.hmm import HmmModelSelector

selector = HmmModelSelector(
    models_dir=models_dir,
    krange=krange,
    rep_num=rep_num,
    volumes=volumes,
    subj_num=sub_num,
    sessions=session_num,
)
selector.auto_parse()

Get the features of the selected models

from neuroimager.pipes.hmm import HmmParser

hmm = HmmParser(
    hmm_file,
    volumes=volumes,
    subj_num=sub_num,
    sessions=session_num,
    output_dir=output_dir,
    roi_labels=roi_labels,
    auto_parse=True,
    generate_report=False,
)
hmm.generate_report(threshold=0.15, plot_vpath=True)
print(hmm.chronnectome)

Atlas Operation

Suggest you have two probability atlas:

from nilearn import plotting
import nibabel as nib
import os

# Plot the original prob masks
atlas_path = "./assets/masks/"
files = [
    "HarvardOxford-sub-prob-1mm.nii.gz",
    "JHU-ICBM-tracts-prob-1mm.nii.gz",
]
atlas_paths = [os.path.join(atlas_path, file) for file in files]
# plot listed atlases with nilearn.plotting.plot_prob_atlas
for file in atlas_paths:
    img = nib.load(file)
    plotting.plot_prob_atlas(img, title=file, draw_cross=False, threshold="auto")
    plotting.show()

Then you can use the atlas_operation to do some operations on the atlases:

Remove selected regions

from neuroimager.utils import filter_rois
from nilearn import plotting
import nibabel as nib
harvard_sub = nib.load("./assets/masks/HarvardOxford-sub-prob-1mm.nii.gz")
rois_to_remove = [0, 1, 11, 12]  # remove the cortical regions in this atlas
output_path = "./assets/output/filtered_harvard_sub.nii.gz"
filtered_atlas = filter_rois(harvard_sub, rois_to_remove, output_path)
plotting.plot_prob_atlas(filtered_atlas, draw_cross=False, threshold="auto")
plotting.show()

Merge two atlases

from neuroimager.utils import combine_probabilistic_atlases

atlas_paths = [
    "./assets/output/filtered_harvard_sub.nii.gz",
    "./assets/masks/JHU-ICBM-tracts-prob-1mm.nii.gz",
]
combined_atlas = combine_probabilistic_atlases(
    atlas_paths, "./assets/output/combined_prob_atlas.nii.gz"
)
plotting.plot_roi(combined_atlas, title="3D Atlas")
plotting.show()
