SparseNeuroVecSource-class: SparseNeuroVecSource Class

Description

A class used to produce a SparseNeuroVec instance. It encapsulates the necessary information to create a sparse representation of a 4D neuroimaging dataset.

Slots

mask

An object of class LogicalNeuroVol representing the subset of voxels that will be stored in memory. This mask defines the sparse structure of the resulting SparseNeuroVec.

Inheritance

SparseNeuroVecSource inherits from:

• NeuroVecSource: Base class for NeuroVec source objects

Details

SparseNeuroVecSource acts as a factory for SparseNeuroVec objects. It holds the spatial mask that determines which voxels will be included in the sparse representation. This class is typically used in data loading or preprocessing pipelines where the sparse structure of the data is known or determined before the full dataset is loaded.

See Also

Examples

# Create a simple mask
mask_data <- array(runif(64*64*32) > 0.7, dim = c(64, 64, 32))
mask <- LogicalNeuroVol(mask_data, space = NeuroSpace(dim = c(64, 64, 32)))

# Create a SparseNeuroVecSource
sparse_source <- new("SparseNeuroVecSource", mask = mask)
