Hi Kev,
For the two scenarios you mentioned, here are my best estimates. I assume
a healthy, adult population scanned with our recommended sequences. Any
other type of dataset (pediatric, one with some type of pathology, one
acquired long ago using a less than optimal sequence or coil, etc.) would
likely differ by a lot in terms of time estimates.
1. fMRI on good quality 3T
Maybe 25 out of 100 need some kind of intervention, including restarting a
process that may have failed along the way. I would expect these 25 to
have something terribly wrong with them to make them unacceptable for fMRI
analysis but something that is most likely easily fixed by an automatic
intervention. I'd estimate a half hour for each of the 25 or an hour for
each to be extremely conservative.
2. Cortical thickness on good quality 3T
Maybe 50-75 out of 100 need some kind of intervention, depending on which
areas you might focus on if you're not only interested in global
thickness. Edits on half of those will be very small, 15-30 minutes a
case. Edits on the other half may be more time consuming, 30 minutes to 1
hour.

This is a question for the FS community in general,
I gather there is variability around this, but rather than an exact number and
time, I was hoping
for an estimate on how many scans would I expect to require manual edits(any of
the check points
recommended in the tutorials) as well as an estimate of the time it takes to go
through them.
For the sake of the argument, take a sample of 100 subjects.
Thanks,
Kev
