ieegio vs reproducible
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ieegio and reproducible — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.

ieegio vs reproducible: at a glance
What is ieegio?
ieegio's first release lands electrode trajectory burning and a WebGL-free surface plot
ieegio handles file I/O and volume manipulation for intracranial EEG and neuroimaging data in R. Only one release is on record, 0.1.0 from May 2026, so there is no cadence to read yet. Its content is a mix of new volume-authoring capability and format-level correctness fixes.
What is reproducible?
reproducible added a windowed read path so remote GeoTiffs never fully download
reproducible provides caching and input-preparation tooling for R workflows, with prepInputs() as the central entry point for fetching, cropping and post-processing spatial data. Only two releases are on record here, both from May 2026 and two days apart: a feature release followed immediately by a CRAN-triggered patch.

ieegio's first release lands electrode trajectory burning and a WebGL-free surface plot
◆ Current state
ieegio handles file I/O and volume manipulation for intracranial EEG and neuroimaging data in R. Only one release is on record, 0.1.0 from May 2026, so there is no cadence to read yet. Its content is a mix of new volume-authoring capability and format-level correctness fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The release points at two audiences at once: burn_curve() writes electrode trajectories — depth/sEEG leads, DBS shafts — into a volume from start and end positions in native RAS coordinates, with a merge mode so trajectories compost onto an existing volume rather than overwriting it. Separately, a base R graphics plot method for surfaces provides a path for environments without WebGL, where the default r3js renderer cannot run. Format work covers BCI2000 and BrainVision channel lookup by label and a quaternion handedness fix aligning with FreeSurfer conventions.
◆ Prediction
A single release gives no basis for predicting cadence. The FreeSurfer alignment and multi-format channel handling suggest interoperability with established neuroimaging toolchains is the near-term priority.

◆ Current state

Only two releases are on record here, both from May 2026 and two days apart: a feature release followed immediately by a CRAN-triggered patch.
◆ Where it's heading
3.1.0 adds prepInputsCOG, a fast path inside prepInputs for remote tiled GeoTiffs including Cloud Optimized GeoTiffs. When the URL is HTTP(S) and any of to, cropTo or maskTo is supplied, only the spatial window of interest is fetched through GDAL's /vsicurl/, and the resulting windowed SpatRaster continues through the normal post-processing pipeline. The same release renames the inputPaths options to the destinationPathShared family with backwards-compatible aliases and a deprecation message, and lets alsoExtract accept regex patterns.
◆ Prediction
The COG path being opt-out via options(reproducible.useCOG = FALSE) suggests confidence in it as a default, so wider application across the prepInputs family is the plausible next step. Two entries is a thin base for predicting cadence.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ieegio and reproducible?
Both compete on the same themes — r — within Analytics. ieegio and reproducible are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band). See the at-a-glance table above for a side-by-side breakdown of velocity, recent sparks, and editorial themes.
Is ieegio better than reproducible?
Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. ieegio and reproducible are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
