Study setup overview
Study setup defines how your project data is organized and how Neuro QP interprets uploads and statistics.
Think of it as the foundation for all later steps:
- Uploads: Filenames are matched against your configured animals and stainings
- Validation: Missing required setup items are flagged early
- Statistics: Grouping and filtering options depend on your configured metadata
Recommended order
To avoid rework, configure Study setup in this order:
- Experiment metadata
- Stainings
- Groups and conditions
- Animals
- Brain regions
Minimum checklist
Before moving to full data analysis, make sure you have:
- At least one additional staining beyond DAPI
- At least one animal
- At least one brain region
- If groups are enabled: At least one group
- If conditions are enabled: At least two conditions
Use the Study validation panel as a quick guide for what to configure next.
You can update Study setup later. If you change it after data upload, review assignments to keep your project consistent.
