Description

Typical Scan timing parameters like

  • TR
  • nVolumes
  • nSlices

could be read in from Physio or fMRI .json side car files, requiring no manual intervention. This has been nicely implemented in

but could also be natively available in PhysIO

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing how PhysIO receives scan_timing parameters and compare that flow with the cited CBRAIN implementation; done means TR, nVolumes, and nSlices can be read from PhysIO or fMRI JSON sidecars without manual intervention.
