smoothing after augmentation of mouse data

Submitted by amrka on

Hi all:

    I am working on a resting state data set of mice. I have followed the tutorial of rodents data processing. My question is after I augmented each voxel by 10 what is the smoothing kernel I should use?. I understand it is supposed to be 2-3 times the size of the voxel, so should I consider the size of the voxel before or after the augmentation?.

 

for example: the original size of the voxel was 0.5X0.5X0.5 and after augmentation it became 5X5X5, so the kernel should be 1X1 or 10X10.

 

Thank you.

Now, after the normalization, the voxel size changed to match the template. So, it is now 0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9. I think I should adjust my kernel based on this new size not the original one. I noticed that the default value in DPABI is 6 x 6 x 6 based on that the template you incorporated in the software is 2 x 2. Is this correct or should I consider the original size?

 

Thank you,

Amr
