FCP-INDI/C-PAC: CPAC Version 1.4.0 Beta

Ease of Use

• Quick Start Guide. By pulling our Docker or Singularity container, you can kick off C-PAC with your dataset in minutes, without any prior package or library installations other than Docker or Singularity. More info available on our User Guide.
  • Find it here: http://fcp-indi.github.io/docs/user/quick.html

New Features

• Turnkey Mode. For users who prefer not to make decisions regarding their pipeline, C-PAC now includes a pre-configured default pipeline that includes the most commonly used decisions. The pre-configured pipeline selections are described in the Quick-start guide under "Running Turnkey Mode".
• Nonparametric Permutation Inference. FMRIB's FSL Randomise has been integrated into C-PAC's suite of group-level analyses. You can use the already-existing FSL group-level presets or the group model builder to specify your model.

Improvements

• Early Access to the new C-PAC GUI. The first part of C-PAC's new graphical user interface (GUI) for generating and editing custom pipelines is available! All are encouraged to take a quick test-drive of the pipeline builder and let us know your thoughts. All feedback welcome on our forum.
  • Get started: http://fcp-indi.github.io/docs/user/new_gui.html
• Group Model-Building Modularity. As part of an ongoing process of improving usability, C-PAC's group-level analysis model builder now offers more control over your model design. It is now easier to review changes to your design matrix before specifying contrasts.

Error Fixes

• An error preventing users from running only anatomical preprocessing has been fixed.
• An error in the Unpaired Two-Group Difference preset of the FSL Group Model Presets, which was causing certain covariate labels to occasionally be formatted improperly, has been fixed.

Coming Soon (Release 1.5 early 2019)

• More denoising options
• Quasi-periodic pattern (QPP) identification
• New Graphical User Interface (GUI) Upgrade
• Further modularity & usability improvements
