+High-resolution structural images were used to generate the cortical surfaces
|
|
|
+using FreeSurfer (v5.3.0, freely available at http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu,
|
|
|
+[Dale et al., 1999]). Additional high-resolution T2w images were included
|
|
|
+in the reconstruction (recon-all -T2 t2file).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The surface quality was checked by inspecting the slice screenshots of QATool
|
|
|
+(v1.1, freely available at http://ftp.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/QATools, [no

+source paper linked]). The QATool was adopted to take sreenshots of the
|
|
|
+high-resoluton pial surface.

+## DataLad datasets and how to use them
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This repository is a [DataLad](https://www.datalad.org/) dataset. It provides
|
|
|
+fine-grained data access down to the level of individual files, and allows for
|
|
|
+tracking future updates. In order to use this repository for data retrieval,
|
|
|
+[DataLad](https://www.datalad.org/) is required. It is a free and
|
|
|
+open source command line tool, available for all major operating
|
|
|
+systems, and builds up on Git and [git-annex](https://git-annex.branchable.com/)
|
|
|
+to allow sharing, synchronizing, and version controlling collections of
|
|
|
+large files. You can find information on how to install DataLad at
|
|
|
+[handbook.datalad.org/en/latest/intro/installation.html](http://handbook.datalad.org/en/latest/intro/installation.html).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Get the dataset
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A DataLad dataset can be `cloned` by running
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+datalad clone <url>
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once a dataset is cloned, it is a light-weight directory on your local machine.
|
|
|
+At this point, it contains only small metadata and information on the
|
|
|
+identity of the files in the dataset, but not actual *content* of the
|
|
|
+(sometimes large) data files.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Retrieve dataset content
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+After cloning a dataset, you can retrieve file contents by running
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+datalad get <path/to/directory/or/file>
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This command will trigger a download of the files, directories, or
|
|
|
+subdatasets you have specified.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+DataLad datasets can contain other datasets, so called *subdatasets*.
|
|
|
+If you clone the top-level dataset, subdatasets do not yet contain
|
|
|
+metadata and information on the identity of files, but appear to be
|
|
|
+empty directories. In order to retrieve file availability metadata in
|
|
|
+subdatasets, run
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+datalad get -n <path/to/subdataset>
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Afterwards, you can browse the retrieved metadata to find out about
|
|
|
+subdataset contents, and retrieve individual files with `datalad get`.
|
|
|
+If you use `datalad get <path/to/subdataset>`, all contents of the
|
|
|
+subdataset will be downloaded at once.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Stay up-to-date
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+DataLad datasets can be updated. The command `datalad update` will
|
|
|
+*fetch* updates and store them on a different branch (by default
|
|
|
+`remotes/origin/master`). Running
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+datalad update --merge
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+will *pull* available updates and integrate them in one go.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### More information
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+More information on DataLad and how to use it can be found in the DataLad Handbook at
|
|
|
+[handbook.datalad.org](http://handbook.datalad.org/en/latest/index.html). The chapter
|
|
|
+"DataLad datasets" can help you to familiarize yourself with the concept of a dataset.
