View source for Organization of data

[[SpinozaWiki:Home]]

Data should be organized according to the following principle.

  '''Experimental directory

        mridata

         Subject1
              Scan1
              Scan2
              ScanN
         Subject2
              Scan1
              Scan2
              ScanN
         SubjectM
              Scan1
              Scan2
              ScanN''

Different matlab functions will subsequently generate extra directories like

   ''      FSL_FirstLevel
         VBM
         DTI_FA''

Do not (especially for FSL) move directories after you have processed data beyond the first level. If you do this subsequent analyses could fail because the output of the higher level analysis use an absoluut file reference.
