HTML Reports Overview

HTML Reports Overview#

MEGqc produces interactive HTML reports at four scopes:

This section explains report structure and interpretation. For run commands and GUI clicks, use the Tutorial.

Report scope	Input derivatives	Main question answered	Typical output location	Primary audience
QA Subject	`calculation/sub-*/...` + per-run summary JSON	What is the full quality profile of one subject across runs/tasks?	`reports/sub-*_meg.html`	Data curator, analyst
QA Group	`calculation/` for one dataset	What are cohort-level quality patterns and task-dependent shifts?	`reports/group_QA_report.html`	Lab lead, cohort curator
QC Group	`summary_reports/group_metrics/Global_Quality_Index_attempt_<n>.tsv`	How do QC indicators and GQI rank recordings/subjects?	`reports/group_QC_report.html`	QC operator, triage workflows
QA/QC Multisample	multiple datasets (QA: `calculation/`; QC: GQI TSV attempts)	How do quality and QC profiles compare across datasets/systems/sites?	`reports/multisample_*.html`	Consortium harmonization

Subject tab	Core content	Main interpretation target
Overview	run/metric availability, raw header metadata, sensor geometry	confirm data completeness and context before metric interpretation
STD	channel variability views (space/distribution/channel×epoch)	noisy/flat channels and non-stationary variance
PtP (manual/auto)	excursion amplitude views	transient bursts and outlier excursions
PSD	spectral burden views	mains/interference and band-dominance patterns
ECG / EOG	physiological coupling views	cardiac/ocular contamination burden
Muscle	high-frequency burden and event load	muscle artifacts over time
Head	movement summaries (if cHPI available)	motion-related quality degradation
Stimulus	event/stim channel structure	epoching validity and trigger integrity
QC summary	metric-specific QC tables + GQI attempts	auditable QC footprint per run/task
