Analysis Workflows, Derivatives, and BIDS Apps

This session moves from BIDS basics into analysis workflows, focusing on how to turn raw, BIDS-organized data into derivatives using BIDS Apps and containers for reproducible processing. It compares end-to-end pipelines across fMRI and PET (and notes EEG/MEG), explains typical preprocessing choices, and shows how standardized inputs plus containerized tools (Docker/AppTainer) yield consistent, auditable outputs.

Topics covered in this lesson
  • BIDS apps overview
  • Workflows by modality
  • Derivatives in BIDS
  • Tooling landscape
  • Querying data
  • Containers for reproducibility
  • Scaling and robustness
  • Performance optimizations
  • Data access patterns
  • Good practices
