picachooser 1.3.0

PICAchooser

Lets you step through the components in an ICA analysis (from many sources), and select which components you want to retain. In addition to showing the spatial ICs, it also displays the componnent timecourses, motion traces, and the correlation between them, to help with your decision making.

Once you launch, you do everything with keyboard commands, and it’s been optimized to go as fast as possible, so you aren’t waiting around for things.

melodicomp

Puts up two melodic IC files side by side. In order to make the comparison meaningful, it first calculates the spatial crosscorrelation between each IC in the first file and each IC in the second. As you step through components in the first file, on the right you see the component with the highest crosscorrelation in the second file. You can sort either by IC order in the first file (i.e. in order of descending variance explained), or in descending correlation coefficient (i.e. best matched components first). When you quit (or hit the escape key), it writes out a file listing the best matched ICs along with their correlation coefficients.

I’m especially proud of the “blink” feature. When you hit the “b” key, the right and left window swap, instantaneously. This lets you see what changes between the two sets of networks in a very natural way. This is inspired by blink comparators, a cool old piece of tech probably long forgotten by most.

Again, once you launch, you do everything with keyboard commands, and it’s been optimized to go as fast as possible, so you aren’t waiting around for things.
