Today’slecture • Preprocessing • Motioncorrection • Slicetimingcorrection • Spatialfiltering • Temporalfiltering • ICA denoising • Globalintensitycorrection • Registration • FSL demo • Thingswehavelearnedsofar
Preprocessing – general things • Signalchanges in BOLD aretypicallysomewherebetween 0.1% and 5% • To enhance the signal and reduce the noise • To prepare the data for statisticalanalysis • Learn to knowyour data!
Preprocessing – motioncorrection • Paddingaround the head to avoidmovement! • Headmovements -> differenttissue in samevoxel and artefactualsignalchanges
Preprocessing – motioncorrection • Howmuchmotion is toomuch? • Largejumpsaremoreseriousthanslowdrifts • Exclusion: outlier?, 1mm? • Ifyouhave stimulus correlatedmotion, youprobablyneedothermethods (e.g., INRIAlign)
Preprocessing – slicetimingcorrection • Slicesarescanned at a slightlydifferenttime (0,2,4,…1,3,5…)
Preprocessing – spatialfiltering • How big areyourblobs? • -> increases SNR • -> Gaussiandistribution (thresholding) • Typically 3-10 mm
Preprocessing – temporalfiltering • Scanner-related and physiologicaldrifts • HP filter - usually, LP filterifneeded (MELODIC?) • Cyclelength x 1.5
Preprocessing – ICA denoising • Need to knowwhat the signalshould look! • Nongray-matter?, weirdtime-series/frequencyspectrum? • Individual/groupanalysis?
Registration of images – wholebrain • Standard spaces: MNI space, Talairachspace/atlas (www.talairach.org) • fMRIspace -> performanalysishereifpossible • fMRI to structural -> anatomicallocalization • fMRI to standard -> comparison of results • (betweensubjects and datasets) • Step 1 estimatingtransformation (transformationmatrix) • Step 2 resampling (modifiedimage)
Registration of images – parameters FNIRT - Samemodality - Highquality • DOFS • Costfunction • correlationratio (same session T1) • mutual info (T2 anatomical) • Interpolation
Registration of images • Alwayscheck the resultsvisually! • Twostageregistration • Fieldmapcorrection
Registration of gyri and sulci • Individualdifferences in corticalfoldingarehuge!
Preprocessing & Registration demo • 1. Motioncorrection (fMRIimage) • 2. Brainextraction (manualcheck!) • 3. FEAT preprocessing • (4. fMRImodeling/statistics (nextweekstopic)) • 5. FLIRT registration (manualcheck!)
Groups • 1 GLM and ICA: music vs. speech, audiovisualinteraction • Jussi, Onerva, Hanna, Olli-Pekka • 2 artifacts and signals (ICA/GLM) • Dinos, Jari T., Juha P., Eero K, Timo • 3 cross-sensorycoherence (ISC) • Alexander, Anne, Jonathan, Jaakko • Passwords / Computers
About the dataset • The data is notonly for thiscourse, butalso for scientificpurposes • Originalplan is not to useany of yourwork in publication • Ifyouthinkthatyourcontribution is enough to beauthor in the publication, pleasediscusswith me! • Ifyouwant to publishsomething out of the data, come to discusswith me!
