Toolchains are the backbone of experiments within the |project| platform. They
determine the data flow for experiments in the |project| platform. For more information about toolchanis see :ref:`beat-system-toolchains`.
You can see an example toolchain for a toy-`eigenface`_ system on the image
below.
.. image:: img/eigenfaces.*
From this block diagram, the platform can identify all it requires to conduct
an experiment with this workflow:
* There are three types of blocks:
1. **Dataset blocks** (light yellow, left side): are the input blocks of a
toolchain. They only have outputs.
2. **Regular blocks** (gray): represent processing steps of the toolchain.
3. **Analysis blocks** (light blue, right side): is the output of a
toolchain. They only have inputs.
* Each block defines *place holders* for datasets and algorithms to be
inserted when the user wants to execute an experiment based on such a
toolchain (see the :ref:`experiments` section).
* Each block is linked to the next one via a **connection**. The sequence of
blocks in a toolchain and their connectivity defines a natural data flow.
Data is output by data sets on the left and flow to the right until a
result is produced.
* Each dataset block (light yellow, left side) define a unique
*synchronization channel*, which is encoded in the platform via a color.
For example, the sychronization channel ``train`` is blue. The
synchronization channel ``templates`` is green and, finally, the
synchronization channel ``probes`` is red.
* Each regular or analysis block on the toolchain respects exactly one of
these synchronization channels. This is indicated by the colored circle on
the top-right of each block. For example, the block called ``scoring`` is
said to be *synchronized with* the ``probes`` channel.
