NeuroSTORM (Claude Skill)

Run the NeuroSTORM multi-model fMRI platform: preprocessing, pretraining (MAE or contrastive), fine-tuning, inference, or benchmarking.


Type	Claude Skill
Supplier	CUHK-AIM-Group (community OSS, MIT)
Availability	GA — part of the NeuroClaw neuroimaging skill library
Pricing	Free / OSS (MIT)
Capabilities	Read/Write — Claude runs the skill’s Python locally (Bash), not as an MCP tool

How to install

Claude Code — clone and copy the skill into your skills directory:
```
git clone https://github.com/CUHK-AIM-Group/NeuroClaw
cp -r NeuroClaw/skills/neurostorm ~/.claude/skills/
```
Project-scoped alternative: copy into .claude/skills/ instead. NeuroClaw skills assume the collection’s shared helpers (claw-shell, modality tool skills) and the upstream neuroimaging stack (FreeSurfer/FSL/fMRIPrep/etc.) — install those dependencies, or run the bundled installer for the full environment:
```
cd NeuroClaw && python installer/setup.py
```
which configures the Python env, CUDA/GPU, and the neuroimaging tools.

What it does

Use this skill whenever the user wants to run the NeuroSTORM multi-model fMRI platform: preprocessing, pretraining (MAE or contrastive), fine-tuning, inference, or benchmarking. It covers 8 built-in models — NeuroSTORM, SwiFT, BrainGNN, BrainNetworkTransformer (BNT), LG-GNN, Com-BrainTF, IBGNN, BrainNetCNN — across 3 input modalities (voxel 4D, ROI time series 2D, functional connectivity 2D). Triggers include: ‘fMRI’, ‘NeuroSTORM’, ‘SwiFT’, ‘BrainGNN’, ‘BNT’, ‘BrainNetCNN’, ‘LG-GNN’, ‘Com-BrainTF’, ‘IBGNN’, ‘fMRI preprocessing’, ‘fMRI foundation model’, ‘ROI time series’, ‘functional connectivity’, ‘brain graph’, ‘HCP’, ‘ABCD’, ‘UKB’, ‘ADHD200’, ‘COBRE’, ‘UCLA’, ‘NSD’, ‘BOLD5000’, ‘disease diagnosis from fMRI’, ‘pretrain fMRI model’, ‘fine-tune fMRI’, or any request involving .nii/.nii.gz fMRI volume files.

Primary use cases: ‘fMRI’, ‘NeuroSTORM’, ‘SwiFT’, ‘BrainGNN’, ‘BNT’, ‘BrainNetCNN’, ‘LG-GNN’, ‘Com-BrainTF’, ‘IBGNN’, ‘fMRI preprocessing’, ‘fMRI foundation model’, ‘ROI time series’, ‘functional connectivity’, ‘brain graph’, ‘HCP’, ‘ABCD’, ‘UKB’, ‘ADHD200’, ‘COBRE’, ‘UCLA’, ‘NSD’, ‘BOLD5000’, ‘disease diagnosis from fMRI’, ‘pretrain fMRI model’, ‘fine-tune fMRI’, or any request involving .nii/.nii.gz fMRI volume files.

Notes

Distributed as a SKILL.md (plus code examples) in the NeuroClaw skill library — Claude executes it locally via Bash/Python rather than as an MCP server. Upstream license: MIT. The skill directory upstream is skills/neurostorm.
