As part of the ME-ICA pipeline, Rica (Reports for ICA) provides a reporting tool for ICA decompositions performed with tedana and aroma.
Pronunciation: [ˈrika]. For an audio recording on how to pronounce Rica see here.
Rica originally came out as an alternative to the reports provided by tedana, with the aim of making manual classification of ICA components possible. At the same time, the tool aspires to be of value for ICA decompositions made with tools other than tedana. Rica assumes you're working with files that mimic the outputs of tedana.
Even if Rica is designed to be simple to use, you might want to see how you can use the app by watching this tutorial video.
Rica also supports keyboard shortcuts on the ICA components page. You can use the following shortcuts:
a: Accept component.r: Reject component.i: Ignore component.left arrow: Go to previous component.right arrow: Go to next component.

Rica can be installed by cloning this repository and executing the following command in the cloned repository:
npm install
In order to run the tool locally, two options exist:
By executing the npm start command in the cloned repository, Rica will open in a new browser tab at http://localhost:3000 and you will be able to use the tool.
You could also compile the project so that you can use the tool just by opening an HTML file. For that, it is necessary to execute the following commands in the cloned repository.
npm run build
npx gulp
mv build/index.html build/rica.html
open build/rica.htmlPro tip: when you open rica.html for the first time, BOOKMARK IT 😉
