Greetings Rick:
Thank you for the reply.
To be clear, the preprocessing steps are
1. despiking
2. removal of variance elated to respiration and heart rate (RetroTS.m --> RETROICOR)
3. volreg
Is there a way to remove the variance related to respiration and heart rate from the time series in each voxel within AFNI or is it necessary to use matlab to create the RETROICOR regressors?
Gary Glover here at Stanford implements RETROICOR prior to any preprocessing steps.
Will your afni_proc.py script work with spiral in/out data as well as EPI?
Is there any way to use 3dCalc to remove variance in a every time series even after volreg?
