NBS questions on calculation and interpretation

Submitted by rsnet103 on

Hi, I have some questions about the results from an NBS analysis on raw connectivity matrices. For questions, we could look to the example NBS table in the manual (attached).

1. Could you expland on exactly how (i.e., equation or formula) the alpha value in the 5th column is calculated? I'm having trouble figuring this out from the NBS papers. e.g., is the alpha derivable from the other columns in the network inspector table?  

preprcession resting session and task session together?

Submitted by Ekaterina on

Hello,

I am just starting per-processing data from a resting session (7min) and a task session (20min) using dpabi.

I was wondering if the 2 sessions (rest and task) should be pre-processed together or separately.

Any advice on this isssue would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance,

Ekaterina

Question about signal extraction

Submitted by phil1022 on
Dear Chao-Gan, I was using DPARSFA to extract time courses from the AAL template. In the preprocessing, I used Head Motion Scrubbing Regressors and chose the default setting: Mean FD power > 0.5, regress out one TR before and two TR after. After the time course extraction, I encountered a problem, that in some participants, the extracted signals corresponding to some ROIs are NAN. They were not some particular ROIs. Different participants had different cases.

Error while doing GRF and FDR. Weird results with AlphaSim

Submitted by crmartir on

Hi dpabi developers,

I got an error while doing multiple comparison correction for a Correlation Analysis in dpabi. First, I tried to compute AlphaSim Correction, but in the results report it is suggested to set a Cluster size of above 2000 voxels, and it seens weird to me, since I have never got a report like this. Afterwards, I tried with GRF and FDR Correction, but it appears an error every time I try to do it.

This is the error (first, I tried to do GRF, and then FDR Correction):

Some issues about scrubbing

Submitted by yaosir on

Dear Chao-Gan,

I used scrubbing method to reduce the effects of head motion following reviewer's suggestion, but I have some questions about it, as follows:

1. Does this method directly delete 'bad' time points?

2. Is there any file containing the information about the remaining time points for each subjects after scrubbing? I would like to easily check which subject to be excluded.
