| ===== Procedure ===== |
| In case you have a feature (or file format) request, please follow these steps: |
| |
| * check whether (and if so since when) the feature/format you wish to request is already on the list below |
| * write an email to **//info (AT) neuroelf (DOT) net//**, stating the request (or asking to prioritize the request) |
| * wait for a reply by email and also... |
| * check back on this page to see if it's on the list or the status has been updated |

| | ComputeFormula also for SMP | Jochen Weber | 4/12/2011 | add support for SMP::ComputeFormula (either different or combined implementation | in pipeline | |
| | physio confounds | Lauren Atlas | 4/18/2011 | support to automatically create confound regressors from physio (ECG) data, still needs specs! | in pipeline | |
| | better subject-specific VOI support | Hakwan Lau | 4/18/2011 | support for subject specific VOIs in ne_mdmvoicondavg -> MDM::VOITimeCourses, and throughout | in pipeline | |
| | VOI time course plot | Jochen Weber | 4/20/2011 | option to plot VOI time courses (probably from within ne_mdmvoicondavg dialog), incl. PRT information | in pipeline | |
| | multi-study (MDM) dialog enhancements | SCAN Unit | 4/20/2011 | add RunTimeVars.Discard inspection/update feature into dialog; also feature to see condition names from models, options for single-trial GLM and PPI | in pipeline | |
| | fmriqasheet enhancements/fix | SCAN Unit | 4/20/2011 | 1. percentage of outlier volumes is incorrect; 2. UI should get a dialog to assess multiple scans, give results for multiple scans, have options (e.g. realignment); 3. link fmriqasheet output to object.RunTimeVars.Discard field | in pipeline | |
| | SDM::CalcBetas | SCAN Unit | 4/20/2011 | make it optional to first project out confounds (filters, motion) of both data and remaining model and then perform regression (thorough testing after implementation!!) | in pipeline | |
| | SDM::CalcBetas check/fix | Jochen Weber | 5/20/2010 | after code inspection, I realized that some features only exist in the help (masking/thresholding/global signal as nuisance); adding that code!! | in pipeline | |
| | local storage of configs | Nick Ketz | 5/18/2010 | in a network-based software setup (central installation of NeuroElf), the configuration files are currently shared (as they live in the installation folder); either make the filenames local (e.g. based on username) or store locally (in user folder) | in pipeline | |

| combining VMPs (in GUI) | Hedy Kober | 5/18/2010 | dialog that allows to flexibly combine maps from several VMP containers, if necessary with resampling/relocation of data | in pipeline | | |
| mutliple scatters | Jen Silvers | 5/18/2010 | ability to plot several, independent scatter plots in the GUI (e.g. for multiple groups of subjects or to compare conditions; interface still requires specification! | in pipeline | | |

| importrfxglm bug fix | Jochen Weber | 5/18/2010 | currently the condition selection in importrfxglmfromspms does not allow to specify the conditions to be imported; while they can be easily removed after the import is complete, it would of course be nicer for that feature to work! | in pipeline | | | weighted data | Jochen Weber | 4/12/2011 | start with data acquisition, weights = 1, then, during each processing/analysis step, carry over weights as estimate of plausibility of data; use weights for all subsequent steps | not sure yet | |
| local storage of configs | Nick Ketz | 5/18/2010 | in a network-based software setup (central installation of NeuroElf), the configuration files are currently shared (as they live in the installation folder); either make the filenames local (e.g. based on username) or store locally (in user folder) | in pipeline | | | VTC/VOI-network analysis | Jochen Weber | 4/12/2011 | different options to assess suspected network nodes of VOIs (correlation matrices, differences in correlations across conditions, Granger, SEM?, robust option, etc.) | not sure yet | |
| GUI-based origin setting | Jochen Weber | 5/19/2010 | enhanced way to specify the origin and orientation of a dataset by allowing the user to drag (and shift+drag) the dataset for translation (and rotation) | in pipeline | | |
| SDM::CalcBetas update/fix | Jochen Weber | 5/20/2010 | after code inspection, I realized that some features only exist in the help (masking/thresholding/global signal as nuisance); adding that code!! | in pipeline | | |
