DPABI: a toolbox for Data Processing & Analysis for Brain Imaging

I have used the new version of DPARSFA in dpabi toolbox to preprocess rest fmri data, and found the order had changed from "Filter->Remove Covariates" to "Remove Covariates -> Filter". Is the latter order better? (or how about the old order?)

By the way, the network really very slow [http://d.rnet.co/Course_DPABI_Chinese_140807.mp4 ], online video will pause after few seconds. If I choose to save the video onto my harddisk, then it will stop at less than 10M (0.0)......,So, will there could be another download link? May dropbox be OK :)

Hi! Dr.Yan!

I got some questions about the result files of DPABI

1. Does 'FunImgARCFWS' contrains final files after all of the process I choosen? So I can use them for funcitonal connectivity analysis?

2. Does 'T1ImgNewSegment' contains VBM results that can be directly analysised? To my knowledge, 'smwc*' file are the results of VBM. However, I do not know 8mm,10mm or 12 mm Kernel Smoother was used in this file.

     In addition, what is the meaning of number '1,2,3' in their name? Gray matter, white matter and CSF?

Hi Chao-Gan,

Is there a new preferred citation for dpabi, or is the older one (2010) your preference?

Best,

Hello,

I get this error using DPARSFA:  

I tried again replacing 61x73x61 for 91x109x91 in the DPARSFA_run.mat script, but it still doesn't work.

I'd really appreciate any suggestion about how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance,

mireia

Hi Dear Developers,

Thanks for the great work! Could you please refresh the download link, as it does not seem to work.

Hello 

I posted this to the mailing list :

"Dear Yan,

Hi all,

I got this error message and I am not sure why and where to solve it.  See below please:

Also Do I have once this is fixed to repat the whole process again ?

您好！

我现在匹兹堡医学院的一个实验室做核磁的一些数据分析，但在这里我的电脑上不能用Matlab，必须通过Putty和VNC连接到主机上使用。 然而这种远程连接十分麻烦，一用DPABI就报错，请您帮忙看看。

十分感谢！

Hi everyone, a basic question: Are the processed images in folder FunImgARWSDFC in the MNI space? I believe this is the case but wish to double check. Thanks!

Good evening,

I have used the EPI template for the normalization of resting-state data in DPARSF. However, I am wondering whether there is any way that I could take a look at the EPI template which is then generated by DPARSF over all subjects. With the DPARSF-Viewer I can only find the individual normalized brains.

With kind regards,

Markus Loose

 

Hello,

My matlab reported the following error, while using dpabi's paired t test tool. Really need help. Thank you!

My matlab version is: R2012b; the package of: rest version: REST_V1.8_130615; spm 12, have been setpath.

严老师：

         您好！按视频中使用DPARSF时，输入工作路径后，参与者一栏没有显示Sub__001，Sub__002...，这是为什么呢？

          这样点击RUN，运行以后,没有FunImg文件，也无法生成XX.hdr 和XX.img，只是在路径中生成了DPARS_AutoSave_XX.mat文件。使用的是SPM8，REST1.8，最新的DPARS。

         求老师解答！谢谢！
