What are the advantages of VoxBo?
VoxBo includes modular tools for analyzing imaging data and a job scheduling system for running these tools efficiently. On the scheduling side, VoxBo’s advantages include: • A job scheduler that keeps track of what work needs to be done and what resources are available, and makes sure everything runs smoothly. • Email notification of errors, warnings, and anomalous events. • Graceful error recovery. • A modular, extensible architecture designed to support interoperability. And on the analysis side: • Tools for numerous preprocessing steps, including slice timing correction, rigid body motion correction, spatial normalization and spatial smoothing (all steps may be omitted if desired). • A flexible implementation of the modified General Linear Model (Worsley and Friston, 1995) • Graphical data presentation allows for “voxel-surfing” and the presentation of time-series data from individual voxels or regions-of-interest.
