Data Directory Arrangement

Within each project data directory there must be several types of subdirectories:

1. Subject directories
   • These directories are given subject codes (X000000X) which consist of (subject's first initial + month of scan + day of scan + year of scan + subject's last initial)
   • The DVD raw data is uploaded to these directories and the preprocessing scripts operate upon them
2. PrepScripts
   • Found within this directory are several types of scripts including but not limited to:
     1. VBPs (preprocessing scripts, a.k.a. VoxBo Prep)
     2. GDS
     3. GLMs (General Linear Models)
     4. REFs (covariate text files, reference files)
3. Other types of script files (* Only required when other types of scanning is being performed - DTI, Perf)
   • a.k.a. DTIscripts, Perf_analysis, Region.pro scripts, etc.

There may also be several other types of subdirectories that include but are not limited to:

• Various Analysis directories
  • Group, SVM, Pattern, etc.
• Other types of script files
  • Region.pro scripts, etc.
• Pilot subjects
  • Configured exactly the same as subject directories found in the above directory
• Bad subjects
  • These subjects' data may not be processed or analyzed. However, there should ALWAYS be included a text file detailing the reason for excluding each subject.
