uber_subject.py - graphical interface to afni_proc.py
The expected use of this program is to simply run it without any options.
That will start the graphical user interface (GUI), which has its own set
of help and help tools.
usage: uber_subject.py
---
This help describes only the command line options to this program, which
enables one to:
- run without the GUI
- initialize subject variables in the GUI
- initialize control variables for control of execution
- pass PyQt4 options directly to the GUI
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples:
GUI examples:
uber_subject.py
uber_subject.py -qt_opts -style=motif
uber_subject.py -svar sid FT -svar gid idiots \
-svar anat FT_anat+orig.HEAD \
-svar epi FT_epi_r*.HEAD \
-svar stim AV*.txt \
-svar stim_basis 'BLOCK(15,1)'
uber_subject.py -cvar subj_dir my/subject/dir
Informational examples:
uber_subject.py -help
uber_subject.py -help_gui
uber_subject.py -help_install
uber_subject.py -hist
uber_subject.py -show_valid_opts
uber_subject.py -show_default_vars
uber_subject.py -todo
Non-GUI examples (all have -no_gui):
1. Akin to the GUI example, but use subject variables directly, not
via -svar.
uber_subject.py -no_gui -save_ap_command cmd.AP.1 \
-sid FT -gid horses \
-anat FT_anat+orig.HEAD -epi FT_epi_r*.HEAD \
-stim AV*.txt -stim_basis 'BLOCK(15,1)'
2. Process the EPI data as resting state analysis.
Pass a subject ID, anat and EPI datasets, and # TRs to remove.
Also, bandpass via 3dDeconvolve (while censoring), and regress
motion derivatives (in addition to motion).
uber_subject.py -no_gui -save_ap_command cmd.rest_state \
-sid FT.rest -tcat_nfirst 2 \
-anat FT/FT_anat+orig -epi FT/FT_epi_r*.HEAD \
-regress_bandpass 0.01 0.1 -regress_mot_deriv yes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note, for passing subject variables, use of -svar is safer then using
variable names directly (e.g. "-svar stim AV*.txt" vs. "-stim AV*.txt"),
because if there is a mistake in the variable name, it would be grouped
with the previous variable.
For example, compare these 2 versions of the same mistake:
-svar stim stim_*.txt -svar eppppi EPI_r*.HEAD
vs.
-stim stim_*.txt -eppppi EPI_r*.HEAD
In the former case, there would be an error about epppi not being a
valid variable. But in the latter case, the program would not know
that you mean -eppppi as a new variable, so -eppppi and the EPI*.HEAD
files would be taken as more -stim inputs.
In any case, passing variables this way is mostly available for my own
evil purposes. This is supposed to be a GUI after all...
