Why physiopy

In neuroimaging, integration of physiological measures to data collection and analyses are still a niche topic. By raising awareness, we can inspire researchers and clinicians become interested in the topic.

*Open Source Software Development is the idea of developing a software publicly, sharing it from the beginning of the development, fostering a democratic community of contributors in support of the project, using version control and software testing.

physiopy adopts a Community driven, BIDS-based, Open Development* approach, aimed at bringing governance back to the users.

Sharing physiological data, toolboxes, and documentation following the concepts of Open Science could improve the exposition to this topic.

Community practices meetings, community consensus, and community guidelines.

Spark interest!

The more we share, the better it becomes

This is (not)
the way!

Of the People, by the People, for the People

physiopy's aims

The main goal of physiopy is to help collect, analyze and share physiological data by:

  1. Writing packages to make user-friendly pipelines to work with physiological data.
  2. Specializing in physiological data use in neuroimaging (i.e. MRI) data analysis.
  3. Providing documentation containing tips and strategies on how to collect such data and use our packages.
  4. Helping set a standard for these data, albeit without forcing users to use it.

physiopy's status

  • Highly inspired by the tedana community and The Turing Way
  • Founded in 2019 by 9 people in 3 labs (during the DC Code Convergence 2019!)
  • It now counts over 35 contributors from over 25 institutions (not all currently active)
  • All contributors are recognised via all-contributors schema and authorship, alphabetically
  • All volunteers are... volunteering (so far)  -  and development spikes during Brainhacks
  • The project had virtually no funds (so far)
  • We are now rediscussing governance, based on the Minimal Viable Governance model
  • We are also restructuring contributors' guidelines, to make them more friendly!

physiopy's tricks

  • We tend to automatise as much as possible, also to lower barriers to contribution
  • We style our code, automated by pre-commit
  • We release on pipy using semantic versioning (docs in YYYY.m.f), automated by Auto
  • We assign DOI to every(-ish) release using Zenodo
  • We release documentation on Read the Docs using restructured text and markdown
  • All software is released under Apache 2.0 (Practices adopt CC-BY-SA 4.0)
  • Installation is minimalistic and relies on extra features
