# Encode: Multidimensional encoding of brain connectomes | ||

# About | ||
This software implements a framework to encode structural brain connectomes into multidimensional arrays. These arrays are commonly referred to as [tensors](https://arxiv.org/abs/1403.4462). Encoding Connectomes provides an agile framework for computing over connectome edges and nodes efficiently. We provide several examples of operations that can be performed using the framework. | ||
|
||
One major application of the tensor encoding is the implementaion of the [Linear Fascicle Evaluation method](http://francopestilli.github.io/life/), in short [LiFE](http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v11/n10/abs/nmeth.3098.html). The tensor encoding method allows implementing LiFE with dramatic reduction in storage requirements, up to 40x compression factors. Furtheremore, connectome encoding allows performing multiple computational neuroanatomy operations such as tract-dissections, virtual lesions, and connectivity estimates very efficiently using the machine-friendly array operators. | ||
|
||
We provide demos to expain how to: | ||
(1) Load and encode diffusion-weighted data and tractography models of white matter fascicles, as well as perform multidimensional arrays operations. | ||
(2) Build and optimize a Linear Fascicle Evaluation model. | ||
(4) Perform neuronatomical segmentations, computational neuroanatomy operations and virtual lesions using the connectome encoding framework. | ||
(4) Reproduce some fo the figures of article describing the method implemented in thsi toolbox: Caiafa and Pestilli, forthcoming. | ||
|
||
## Application. | ||
* Encoding of brain conenctome and associated phenotypes into multidimensional arrays. | ||
* Evaluate the evidence supporting white-matter connectomes generated using [magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_MRI) and [computational tractography ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractography). | ||
* Perform statistical inference on white-matter connectomes: Compare white-matter connectomes, show the evidence for white-matter tracts and connections between brain areas. | ||

|
||
## Installation. | ||
1. Download (https://github.com/brain-life/encode). | ||
2. [Start MatLab](http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/startup-and-shutdown.html). | ||
3. Add repository to the [matlab search path](http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/addpath.html). | ||
|
||
## Dependencies. | ||
* [MatLab](http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/). | ||
* [vistasoft](https://github.com/vistalab/vistasoft). | ||
* [Matlab Brain Anatomy (MBA)](https://github.com/francopestilli/mba). | ||
|
||
## Getting started. | ||
|
||
### 1. [Download the repository](https://github.com/brain-life/encode). | ||
* Download the Encode repository from the TAR/ZIP files linked [here](https://github.com/brain-life/encode/archive/master.zip). | ||
* UNZIP/UNTAR the file. | ||
* Add the encode folder to your matlab search path. To do so in the MatLab prompt type: | ||
``` | ||
>> addpath(genpath('/my/path/to/the/encode/folder/')) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### 2. [Download the vistasoft repository](https://github.com/vistalab/vistasoft). | ||
* Download the VISTASOFT repository from the TAR/ZIP files linked [here](https://github.com/vistalab/vistasoft/archive/master.zip). | ||
* UNZIP/UNTAR the file. | ||
* Add the VISTASOFT folder to your matlab search path. To do so in the MatLab prompt type: | ||
``` | ||
>> addpath(genpath('/my/path/to/the/VISTASOFT/folder/')) | ||
``` | ||
### 3. [Download the MBA repository](https://github.com/francopestilli/mba). | ||
* Download the MBA repository from the TAR/ZIP files linked [here](https://github.com/francopestilli/mba/archive/master.zip). | ||
* UNZIP/UNTAR the file. | ||
* Add the MBA folder to your matlab search path. To do so in the MatLab prompt type: | ||
``` | ||
>> addpath(genpath('/my/path/to/the/MBA/folder/')) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### 4. [Download the Demo Datasets](http://XXXXXXXXXXX). | ||
* Download the demo datasets from the repository [here](https://XXXXXX.tar.gz). | ||
* UNZIP/UNTAR the file. | ||
* Add the unzipped/untarred Data folder to your matlab search path. To do so in the MatLab prompt type: | ||
``` | ||
>> addpath(genpath('/my/path/to/the/data_demo/folder/')) | ||
``` | ||
### 5. [Run the demo_connectome_encoding code](/scripts/demos/demo_connectome_encoding.m). | ||
Here you will learn about creating the tensor representation of a connectoms and perform basic operations such as identifying fascicles having a particular spatial orientation in a small voxel area. | ||
``` | ||
>> demo_connectome_encoding.m | ||
``` | ||
### 6. [Run the demo_connectome_data_comparison code](/scripts/demos/demo_connectome_data_comparison.m). | ||
This code reproduce Fig. 3 of the paper "Multidimensional encoding of brain connectomes", by C. Caiafa and F. Pestilli. | ||
``` | ||
>> demo_connectome_data_comparison.m | ||
``` | ||
### 7. [Run the demo_virtual_lesion code](/scripts/demos/demo_virtual_lesion.m). | ||
This code allows you to compute virtual lesions on a particular brain dataset and visualize particular major tracts together with their path-neighborhood, i.e. fascicles sharing same voxels. | ||
``` | ||
>> demo_virtual_lesion.m | ||
``` | ||
### 8. [Run the demo_LiFE code](/scripts/demos/demo_LiFE.m). | ||
This code allows you to compute compute the fascicles weights for two different tractography methods, probabilistic and deterministic tractographies, on a same brain. This is similar to the original LiFE demo in https://github.com/francopestilli/life but here a full brain dataset is used. The optimization (fitting fascicles weights) runs in about 3 hours on a modern Intel processor with 8GB of RAM. This code has been tested with MatLab 2015b on Ubuntu 15+ and Mac OSX 10.11. | ||
``` | ||
>> demo_LiFE.m | ||
``` | ||
C. Caiafa and F. Pestilli Sparse multiway decomposition for analysis and modelling of diffusion imagign and tractogrpahy. | ||
