phase-data-preprocess
The data-preprocess phase filters, cleans, epochs, and quality-checks raw data to produce analysis-ready datasets.
Approach
- Read
.neuroflow/data/ inventory first — understand the dataset before choosing methods
- Confirm the modality; preprocessing steps differ significantly between EEG, fMRI, ECG, eye-tracking
- Document every parameter choice (filter cutoffs, epoch windows, rejection thresholds) before running
- QC plots and rejection summaries are required outputs — not optional
Relevant skills
neuroflow:neuroflow-core — read first; defines the command lifecycle and .neuroflow/ write rulesneuroflow:bids — invoke when loading BIDS-organized data; covers BIDSLayout querying, mne_bids.read_raw_bids(), sidecar metadata fields, and writing preprocessed derivatives back to BIDS
Workflow hints
- All scripts and processed data go to
output_path (scripts/preprocessing/), not inside .neuroflow/
- Save
preprocess-config.md to .neuroflow/data-preprocess/ with the full parameter set used
- Log any deviation from a pre-registered preprocessing plan in
.neuroflow/reasoning/data-preprocess.json
Slash command
/neuroflow:data-preprocess — runs this workflow as a slash command.
