Accelerate Research With Standard or Custom Gears

Flywheel Gears are plug-ins, or open-source extensions, that reduce data-management overhead by automating many routine, time-consuming tasks.

Open Source and Free to Use

Gears are applications that run in Flywheel, and the Gear Exchange is a collection of Gears curated and maintained by the broader Flywheel community, and housed on GitHub. Site admins can add these Gears to your site to help automate time-consuming tasks, such as metadata extraction, classification, quality assurance, BIDS conversion, and full analytic pipelines. In addition to the Gears in the Gear Exchange you can develop and share your own Gears.

Utility Gears

Utility Gears automate routine functions and can be assembled into a pre-processing pipeline to save time and overhead. Utility Gears fall into several broad categories, including:

  • Conversion Gear: Converts data from one format to another
  • QA Gear: Provides quality assurance on the data
  • Classifier gear:  Automatically identifies and labels the modality of different types of data

Analysis Gears

An analysis Gear is an algorithm that has been packaged to be run and managed on your project or on a specific subject.

Featured Gear

AFNI: Brain Warp

AFNI-based brain warping based on D99 Macaque Atlas warp scripts, which use AFNI functions (AFNI_2011_12_21_1014) to align a template and segmentation to the native space of an individual macaque in its native space. The output includes the native aligned to the template dataset and vice versa. It also creates surfaces for structures in the individual native space and an approximate surface for the whole brain. All surfaces are saved in GIFTI format, and volumes are in AFNI format. This Gear will convert output volume files to NIfTI format.
