Thank you Rick,
So if I understand correctly, if I only use -ricor_regs the cardiac and respiration data will still be regressed out at the preprocessing level (using some regression model, 3dDeconvolve? 3dREMLfit?), just not accounted for in the final model?
Similarly, if I don't use -ricor_regress_method and -regress_apply_ricor, the physiological data will still get removed during preprocessing, and I save myself several degrees of freedom by not including all those regressors in the final model?
