FMRIPrep Lifespan: Extending A Robust Pipeline for Functional MRI Preprocessing to Developmental Neuroimaging.

ABSTRACT: The adoption of a standardized preprocessing workflow is vital for fostering community, sharing, and reproducibility. fMRIPrep has been a critical advancement towards this end, however, it is limited in its capacity to be applied to data across the lifespan, starting from infancy. Here, we introduce fMRIPrep Lifespan, an extension of fMRIPrep that extends the standardized processing from childhood to senescence to include neonatal, infant, and toddler structural and functional MRI data preprocessing. This effort involves a NiPreps integration of 1) a workflow akin to fMRIPrep optimized for MRI data in the first years of life (previously NiBabies) and 2) upstream enhancements to the entire NiPreps suite, including multi-echo data processing, modularization of workflow components, and conver
