Abstract
Researchers perform two steps before functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data analysis: standardised preprocessing and customised denoising.fMRIPrep (Esteban et al., 2019; RRID:SCR_016216), a popular software in the neuroimaging community, is a common choice for preprocessing.fMRIPrep performs minimal preprocessing, leaving a few steps for the end user: smoothing, denoising, and standardisation.The present software, giga-connectome, is a Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS; Gorgolewski et al., 2016; RRID:SCR_016124) compliant container image that aims to perform these steps as well as extract time series signals and generate connectomes for machine learning applications.All these steps are implemented with functions from nilearn (Nilearn contributors, 2024; RRID:SCR_001362), a Python library for machine learning in neuroimaging.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
