NeuroImaging PREProcessing toolS (NiPreps)¶

NiPrepsaugment the scanner to produce datadirectly consumable by analyses.

We refer to datadirectly consumable by analyses asanalysis-grade data by analogy with the concept of "sushi-grade (orsashimi-grade) fish" in that both are products that have been:

• minimally preprocessed, but are
• safe to consume directly.

Building on the success story offMRIPrep¶

NiPreps were conceived as a generalization offMRIPrep across new modalities, populations, cohorts, and species.fMRIPrep is widely adopted, as our telemetry with Sentry (and now,in-house withmigas) shows:

fMRIPrep is executed an average of 11,800 times every week, of which, around 7,800 times it finishes successfully (66.2% success rate). The average number of executions started includes debug anddry runs where researchers do not intend actually process data. Therefore, theeffective (that is, discarding test runs) success ratio offMRIPrep is likely higher.
