Hi AFNI Experts,
When running resting state analyses, when you are correlated a seed with the rest of the brain, I am guessing it is best to extract the average timecourse for the seed using the unsmoothed file, to avoid spillage from other nearby brain regions. And then, correlate that timecourse with the rest of the brain (the errts file).
However, the unsmoothed data (vol reg) won't be censored for motion (which would be problematic)?
I know the CONN toolbox makes use of the unsmooted data to extract the average timecourse of the seed.
Thanks,
Emily
