IS&T RCS Tutorial - Data Preparation for Neuroimagers: BIDS, mriqc, and fmriprep (Hands-on)

This tutorial will introduce Boston University’s Shared Computing Cluster (SCC) for use with Magnetic Resonance (MR) neuroimaging methods focusing on data preparation. We will work hands-on with the SCC to highlight the neuroimaging tools available on the SCC for importing, organizing, assessing the quality of, and preprocessing neuroimaging data. Software covered will include dcm2bids, MRIQC, and fMRIPrep. Topics covered will include the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), converting DICOM images to the BIDS standard using dcm2bids, running a quality assessment routine using MRIQC, and preprocessing your data using fMRIPrep. To get the most out of this workshop, attendees will want to have some basic familiarity with working in Linux environments.
