Hi everyone, 

We currently have a couple of pipelines, generated on Homer3, which we are trying to compare on our dataset. What features, if any, are available through Homer3 that can objectively show better performance of one pipeline over another? If not possible via Homer3, how are people comparing performance on various datasets? We do not have any simulated data or synthetic HRF data but any information on how to go about this issue would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you all in advance!

Hi Joel,

I don't know if this could be of any use to you, but here is a paper from our lab regarding a similar issue:  https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-31635-8_28
Please let me know if I can help you any further

Hi Joel,

 

We have recently published (still provisional) such a dataset (resting + synthetic HRF) that you can use to test your different pipelines. You want to compare the estimated HRF with true HRF using different metrics (e.g. MSE / corr as in our paper).

Hope this helps.

Hi Joel, 
one way to decided the most appropriate pipeline would be to check each preprocessing step separately (at least for a few subjects from your dataset).  

For example, suppose that you want to remove noisy channels, but you do not know which procedure or threshold (for a given method) is the most adequate for your data. 
You could try a few thresholds and verify if the deleted channels are indeed noisy channels.  In this way, you can define the best threshold or method for removing the bad channels. 

I think that checking each step is better than looking at the "final" results when you do not know the ground truth (as you would do on simulations). 

Best, 
Sergio Novi

Hi Yucel, 

I think this type of simulated data is what we need access to. Thank you so much for the response. I have downloaded the code to add simulated data to our channels but am having some trouble understanding how to incorporate it to our data set. Is this possible? 

Best, 

Joel
