Python package to parse stats from recon-all. Given a Freesurfer subject, this flattens all of the stats files into a single python dictionary. It'd be very easy to upload this dictionary to REDCap, for example.
Freesurfer outputs too much data to import it by hand into REDCap. So I scratched an itch.
I use this package in my code the following way:
from recon_stats import Subject
s = Subject('SUBJECTID') # where SUBJECTID is in your SUBJECTS_DIR
# load measures
s.get_measures()
# produce a dictionary
data = s.upload_dict()
# Then using pycap, upload the data quickly
from redcap import Project
p = Project(URL, TOKEN)
data[p.def_field] = 'SUBJECTID' # or however this subject is indexed in your REDCap
response = p.import_records([data])Boom
The above won't actually work until you've got all ~2655 fields in your REDCap data dictionary. Search for "Freesurfer Reconstruction Stats" in the Shared Library and download it into your project. Then you're good to go with the above.
