Version 1.4.0 Beta - 2019.02.04¶

Ease of Use

Quick Start Guide. By pulling our Docker or Singularity container, you can kick off C-PAC with your dataset in minutes, without any prior package or library installations other than Docker or Singularity. More info available on our User Guide.

New Features

TURNKEY MODE. For users who prefer not to make decisions regarding their pipeline, C-PAC now includes a pre-configured default pipeline that includes the most commonly used decisions. The pre-configured pipeline selections are described in the Quick-start guide under “Running Turnkey Mode”.
Nonparametric Permutation Inference. FMRIB’s FSL Randomise has been integrated into C-PAC’s suite of group-level analyses. You can use the already-existing FSL group-level presets or the group model builder to specify your model.

Improvements

Early Access to the new C-PAC GUI. The first part of C-PAC’s new graphical user interface (GUI) for generating and editing custom pipelines is available! All are encouraged to take a quick test-drive of the pipeline builder and let us know your thoughts. All feedback welcome on our forum.
Group Model-Building Modularity. As part of an ongoing process of improving usability, C-PAC’s group-level analysis model builder now offers more control over your model design. It is now easier to review changes to your design matrix before specifying contrasts.

Error Fixes

An error preventing users from running only anatomical preprocessing has been fixed.
An error in the Unpaired Two-Group Difference preset of the FSL Group Model Presets, which was causing certain covariate labels to occasionally be formatted improperly, has been fixed.

Coming Soon (Release 1.5 early 2019)
