Combining conda and google colab

Sometimes it’s necessary to downgrade packages in google colab to restore compatibility with an older version (e.g. pytorch). One way of doing this is using conda within colab and a few tricks make this work. Here is the colab notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1W5UnflB8m1zo6lP1y11V78QczMRBI0FE?usp=sharing Here a quick code gist:

NeXtQSM preprint

Our new preprint is online. NeXtQSM is a deep learning pipeline for data-consistent quantitative susceptibility mapping trained with simulated data build by our CIBIT MPhil student Francesco Cognolato: [2107.07752] NeXtQSM — A complete deep learning pipeline for data-consistent quantitative susceptibility mapping trained with hybrid data (arxiv.org)

QSMxT preprint

Our latest preprint describes the QSMxT pipeline developed by Ashley Stewart – a CIBIT PhD student in our team: QSMxT enables robust & automated quantitative susceptibility mapping and extraction of quantitative information from regions of interest. The code can be found here: https://github.com/QSMxT/QSMxT The preprint is here: QSMxT: Robust Masking Read more…

Building an Interactive paper supplement with Google Colab and the Open Science Foundation

For a paper we recently submitted (Improving FLAIR SAR efficiency at 7T by adaptive tailoring of adiabatic pulse power using deep convolutional neural networks – pre-print here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.08118 and published article here: https://doi.org/10.1002/mrm.28590) I was wondering if we can do more than just provide the source code. One problem I Read more…

Non-linear Realignment Using Minimum Deformation Averaging for Single-subject fMRI at Ultra-high Field

Motion dominates the contribution to variance in fMRI time series and it is therefore important to account for this variability correctly. Currently, most correction schemes use a rigid body realignment procedure, but interactions with magnetic field inhomogeneities and physiological fluctuations lead to non-linear deformations. Non-linear realignment increased spatial resolution by Read more…
