Workflow

  1. Setup the configuration files: either use the presets (see physprep/data/workflow_strategy, physprep/data/preprocessing_strategy, physprep/data/qa_strategy) or create your own configuration files.

  2. Prepare the data: segment continuous physiological recordings into BIDSified runs based on the MR metadata. This part is not automatically included in the workflow, but Physprep provides functions to BIDSified your dataset.

  3. Preprocess the data: filter and resample the data based on the parameters specified in the preprocessing_strategy configuration file.

  4. Extract the features: detect or compute different features for each type of supported physiological signals (e.g. peaks, troughs, amplitude).

  5. Generate a report: provide descriptive metrics as specified in the qa_strategy configuration file, and interactive plots associated with the processed signals.
