Hi AFNI experts,
We have a multi-echo dataset, and we want to use it for MVPA analysis. Therefore, we need to keep each subject's data unnormalized and unsmoothed. However, it seems that meica.py performed all these preprocessing before ICA denoising (https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/src/pkundu/README.meica). I am wondering if it is reasonable and possible to skip the normalization and smoothing steps and run the ICA denosing step directly?
Thanks in advance,
Chunliang
