Hello,
The fMRI design that I'm working on involves verbal responses to stimulis presentation (4 tasks+ fixation). Consequently there is a lot of motion in this dataset.
I was calculating the correlation coefficient between the mc_params and each of the experimental task and it seems that there is a strong correlation (corr>0.70)
=======================
I'm trying to run a residual regression and I need your guidance.
Is this what I have to do?
PROCEDURE1:
step1:
Run 3dDeconvolve with motion correction parameters as covariates
Save the residuals (-errts) in a brik file (mc_residuals+orig)
step 2:
Run again 3dDeconvolve using as input file mc_residuals+orig and model the 4 experimental tasks as covariates.
The output bucket should show the correlation of mc_params on experimental task.
My bucket is empty(clear).Is it something that I'm doing wrong?
Any other suggestions?
Thank you for your help.
