Hello Afni Experts,
I had a question regarding the pipeline as I also had data that I preprocessed on my own.
1) My EPI images are in RPI orientation so is it necessary to run 3daxialize/3drefit -deoblique? The images were taken at an oblique angle but I have all of my masks/anatomicals already aligned to the EPI and so is this necessary? If it is necessary, since my images are in RPI orientation could I get away with just 3drefit -deoblique?
2) Does 3dZcat at later stages only work with images that are deobliqued for stacking in the z direction or would it work if all three TE's have the same oblique angle and aligned to the same reference scan?
3)If I have multi-echo data that is desike, tshift, volreg,filter (highpass 0.005 to 99999), and smoothed (5mm 3dBlurtoFWHM) for each TE, is it possible to input this file into meica.py for the ica analysis in native space without redoing the preprocessing? I can disable some options but I wasnt sure if I can disable tshift.
Thanks,
Ajay
