Cutting atlases out of `mni_atlas_reader`

Open rmarkello opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

There was some talk here at the hackathon about trying to splice the atlases out of the current repository and make them into their own repository, which could serve as a very useful resource for anyone looking for brain atlases! This question was previously raised on the BIDS Discussion List and some relevant discussion occurred there.

@peerherholz mentioned that Lead DBS has already collected a good number of atlases which might be a good place to start!

What are peoples' thoughts? Should a new repo be created to host atlases (this package could then grab that repo as additional "package data" when downloaded!). If so, what should the name be? @miykael

Awesome idea @rmarkello. For ALPACA I started something like a summary, containing information on atlas name, type, ROIs/regions & license. You can check it here. Maybe that would be useful? Furthermore, something like that would easily be transferred to a website, eh?

@rmarkello - Yes, I think it should be split from this project. @PeerHerholz - Oh my god!! That's already perfect.

I think it makes sense to have a new repo where all of this can be combined. Anybody has any idea for such a repo?

Not my idea! All credit to @chrisfilo and @miykael. I love the markdown table, though! That'll be a great launching pad.

I'm deeply terrible at naming, but will happily vote on other suggestions!
