Paired T-test in RS comparison

Submitted by Liz on

Dear Experts,

I am new to FSL and RS signal analysis, so I need a help to understand the methods and the results of a preliminary fcMRI study that my supervisor has been working through.

He wanted to test variation in connectivity within motor circuits at rest. It is a single group design with repeated measures, divided into three parts: baseline RS scan, task performance and control RS scan. The idea was to compare the two RS scans in order to see variation in connectivity after the task performance, thus expecting increase functional connectivity within motor circuits.

Problem with running preprocessing

Submitted by dittmanz on

Hi there,

While attempting to run the preprocessing on the Demo Data from the fMRI course per the video instructions, I ran into a few issues. Upon hitting run, MatLab says it is launching a parallel pool to run my processing in, but also MatLab says no jobs are currently running. Additionally, it says that the parallel pool is busy, and this continues for hours, over 9 that is. I can't seem to find the file either of the altered data, so perhaps the process is just incomplete. What could be a potential problem? 

Thanks,

Setup for ancova with covariates

Submitted by hoptman on

Hi,

I'm trying to set up an ANCOVA with covariates.  I have FD as one covarate and 4 groups (numbered 1, 2,3,4)

How do I set up the analysis.  Can I load in an FD.txt file and a file with groups listed as 1-4, or do I make a multicolumn file with 5 columns, or do I need a separate file for each group, as well as 1 for FD?  Also, how will I know from the output that the covariate has been removed from the data prior to the group F test being computed?

Thanks,

Matt

map small matrix

Submitted by Ali on
We have correlation matrix (264*264) for 140 subjects and used this matrices in GraphVar to obtained features in excel file such as Betweennes centrality feature (140 subjects*  264 features), then we used SVM classification and the resulted discriminant features was (140 subjects*  80 features). my question, how I convert this discriminant features into NIFTI Image to be used as input for 2 sample T-test in DPABI software???
Your help is appreciated.
