- Have hands-on experience in neuroscience or neuroimaging , ideally from a research or academic setting
- Be strong in Python (numpy, pandas) and comfortable reading scientific papers
- Have experience working with public datasets and collaborating through GitHub
- Must not be located in Texas or Illinois
Submission Note :
- When submitting, please include their most relevant project or paper related to neuroimaging or neuroscience.
Goal :
- We aim to accelerate the onboarding of neuroimaging datasets available publicly onto our code base, in order to improve our ability to decode brain activity.
Required skills :
- Python programming : intermediate level, numpy, pandas
Collaboration through Github
Approach :
- Review our team repository, and the studies in particular : link and familiarize yourself with the existing code and folder structure.
- Create a new Python class for each dataset :
- Ensure each class is named appropriately according to the dataset.
- Place the new class files in the appropriate directory within the repository.
- Implement Data Download Method :
- Write a method in each class to download the dataset.
- Ensure the method handles different data formats and potential errors during download
- Specify Filenames for Neuroimaging Recordings :
- Implement functionality to identify and list all neuroimaging recording filenames.
- Ensure this process is adaptable to different data structures within datasets.
- Create DataFrame for 'Events' in Recordings :
- Develop a method to parse and list the 'events' in each recording (, images, sounds).
- Include columns for event types and their relative onsets in the recordings.
- Code Review and Merge :
- Submit your code for review by a peer or a senior team member.
- Address any feedback and ensure the code adheres to the project's coding standards.
- Merge the code into the main branch upon approval.
