Tracing benchmark: 513 versus 115 iterations

513 checks → 115, nice need runtime + input size too. fewer visited voxels doesn't automatically mean the same factor of speedup The tiny complexity sheet records exhaustive = 513 and tracing = 115 iterations. The ratio is 513/115 ≈ 4.46 ;...

TractX: RecoBundlesX configuration and dependencies

RecobundlesX config pile: lengths / votes / seed / processes / transforms older requirements fighting newer deps, then headers lost in conversion. keep one coherent set of inputs for the next run Recorded configuration: length filtering minL=20 ,...

TractX: FDC filename and header mismatch

PRE.mif vs IN.mif again... right next to 'header transformations ... do not match' check template + correspondence + directions/index files. renaming it won't fix the space it's in pipeline context: step 19 writes fiber-density correspondence to...

TractX: whole-brain tracking and SIFT run

SIFT COMPLETE — 20 million → 2 million keep FOD + mask + both tractograms together. SIFT filtering and SIFT2 weights are different outputs, don't mix filenames files: the command operates in the template directory. Keep FOD.mif ,...

TractX: fixel indexing and bundle membership

fixel index first, voxel coords second — multiple directions can live at the same xyz need one attribute order, stop hardcoding the reshape. tiny fake grid with 2 crossing bundles might be easier to debug than an entire brain representation:...

TractX: filtering and validation questions

pretty tractogram ≠ correct connections, annoying but useful reminder keep validity definition with the score. especially when changing clustering / endpoint voting problem: a streamline's visual plausibility is not enough to establish that it...
