DPABI: a toolbox for Data Processing & Analysis for Brain Imaging
 
DPABI is a GNU/LGPL toolbox for Data Processing & Analysis of Brain Imaging, evolved from DPARSF (Data Processing Assistant for Resting-State fMRI) and contains DPABISurf, DPABIFiber, DPABINet and BrainImageNet. Please refer to The R-fMRI Course to know more about how to use this toolbox. Add with subfolders for DPABI in MATLAB's path setting and enter "dpabi" in the command window to enjoy this powerful toolbox.
 
 
 
You can also use the DPABI/DPABISurf/DPARSF Stand-Alone Version without purchasing a MATLAB license.

New features of DPABI_V5.0_201001 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi, please also update the docker file by: docker pull cgyan/dpabi):
1. New Module: BrainImageNet included! With BrainImageNet, the model can classify the sex of a participant with brain structural imaging data from anybody and any scanner with about 95% accuracy. The model fine-tuned to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) achieved 88.4% accuracy in leave-sites-out five-fold cross-validation on the ADNI dataset and 86.1% accuracy for a direct test on an unseen independent dataset (OASIS). When directly testing this AD classifier on brain images of unseen mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, 63.2% who finally converted into AD were predicted as AD, versus 22.1% who did not convert into AD were predicted as AD. Predicted scores of the AD classifier showed significant correlations with severity of illness. Users can utilize our models as bases for transfer learning. Please read more details at https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.08.18.256594v2.
2. DPABISurf V1.4.
2.1. fMRIPrep backend updated to version 20.2.0 (Long-Term Support).
2.2. For surface based multiple comparison correction, the method of FDR correction was added to DPABISurf. See DPABISurf_VIEW->Cluster...->Apply FDR Correction.
2.3. For surface based multiple comparison correction, the method of Monte Carlo simulation was added to DPABISurf. See DPABISurf_VIEW->Cluster...->Apply FWE (Monte Carlo Simulation) Correction.
2.4. Pre-calculated Monte Carlo Simulation tables were added for most used situations. Please see {DPABI}/StatisticalAnalysis/DPABISurf_MonteCarlo/MonteCarloTable/. Users can index the minimum cluster area for an estimated smoothness and set at DPABISurf_VIEW->Cluster...->Set Cluster Size.
3. DPARSF V5.1.
3.1. Fixed a bug in applying slice timing information from DICOM files to DPARSF settings. This bug only affected DPARSF V5.0 while not setting slice timing information (using the default) in slice timing preprocessing. Automatically applying slice timing information from DICOM files missed the unit change for SPM.
4. Scrubbing default setting changed to FD_Jenkinson, 0.2mm, no time points before or after "bad" time points.
5. PALM updated to version alpha115.
6. dcm2niix updated to version 31-March-2020 (v1.0.20200331)
7. DICOM Sorter. Now DICOM Sorter can handle files with DICOM files mixed with other kind of files when setting suffix to none.
8. Fixed a bug of "Add Image" in ROI Signals Extractor.
9. y_ANCOVA1_Multcompare_Image now is compatible for .gii.
10. Docker File: MCR files extracted for easy use in Singularity.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V4.3_200401 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi, please also update the docker file by: docker pull cgyan/dpabi):
This is a minor update to fix some bugs.
1. DPARSF V5.0. Fixed a bug specific in Windows OS when starting from .nii.gz files: bet fails.
2. DPABISurf V1.3. Fixed the errors of "--ignore-aroma-denoising-errors" and "--template-resampling-grid". These were caused by the input format changing in fmriprep V20.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V4.3_200301 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi, please also update the docker file by: docker pull cgyan/dpabi):
1. Stability Analysis module was added. You can calculate volume-based and surface-based stability from DPABI->Dynamic & Stability Analyses. You can read our recent work for the details of stability measure: Li, L., Lu, B., Yan, C.G. (2019). Stability of dynamic functional architecture differs between brain networks and states. Neuroimage, 116230, doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116230.
2. Field map correction was added, both for DPARSF and DPABISurf. If you want to perform field map Correction, you need to arrange each subject's field map DICOM files in one directory, and then put them in "FieldMap" directory under the working directory. i.e.:';...
    '{Working Directory}\FieldMap\PhaseDiffRaw\Subject001\xxxxx001.dcm';...
    '{Working Directory}\FieldMap\PhaseDiffRaw\Subject001\xxxxx002.dcm';...
    '...';...
    '{Working Directory}\FieldMap\PhaseDiffRaw\Subject002\xxxxx001.dcm';...
    '{Working Directory}\FieldMap\PhaseDiffRaw\Subject002\xxxxx002.dcm';...
    '...';...
    '{Working Directory}\FieldMap\Magnitude1Raw\Subject001\xxxxx001.dcm';...
    '{Working Directory}\FieldMap\Magnitude1Raw\Subject001\xxxxx002.dcm';...
    '...';...
    '{Working Directory}\FieldMap\Magnitude1Raw\Subject002\xxxxx001.dcm';...
    '{Working Directory}\FieldMap\Magnitude1Raw\Subject002\xxxxx002.dcm';...
    '...';...
    '...';...
Then you can click the button of “FieldMap” button to set field map correction parameters. In most cases, you can use the default  “0” value to let the program read the parameters (e.g., echo times) from the DICOM files.
3. Check data organization function added. For the new users of DPARSF and DPABISurf, most of the errors were caused by data organization! Please use DPABI->Utilities->Check Data Organization to check your data organization before running DPARSF or DPABISurf. This program will lead you to organize your data correctly with prompting messages!
4. Slice timing information read from DICOM files. If you are starting with DICOM files, you no longer need to set the slice timing correction parameters. Just leave it as default (slice number: 0), then DPARSF or DPABISurf will read the parameters from DICOM files. This new feature thanks to Dr. Chris Rorden's new dcm2niiX program (version v1.0.20190902).
5. DPARSF V5.0 now is compatible with BIDS format. You can start with BIDS format data by checking checkbox “BIDS to DPARSF” and setting  “Starting Directory Name” to “BIDS”.
6. DPABISurf V1.3. Check and re-run fmriprep failed subjects. If for any reason, the program failed fmriprep running in DPABISurf, you just need to re-run starting with the step “Preprocessing with fmriprep” and set the “Starting Directory Name” to “BIDS” in DPABISurf_Pipeline. Alternatively, you can run a single checking step from DPABI->DPABISurf->Utilities->Re-Run fmriprep Failed Subjects.
7. DPABI->Utilities->DICOM Sorter. Now DICOM Sorter will remove illegal characters for file names in DICOM sorter. E.g., a subject id of “Wang’#$#’s” will no longer cause a problem in sorting DICOM files.
8. y_Call_DPABISurf_VIEW_FromVolume.m and y_Call_DPABISurf_VIEW.m were added. Now you can use script to call DPABISurf_VIEW to generate surface maps (with higher quality now) in batch. Remember to add “close all” in the for loop to prevent too many windows.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V4.2_190919 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi, please also update the docker file by: docker pull cgyan/dpabi):
1. DPABISurf_V1.2_190919 updated.
1.1. A quality control module was added to DPABISurf. Now users can quality control surface reconstruction, EPI to T1 registration and T1 to MNI registration for all the subjects in one HTML file, respectively (based on fmriprep 1.5.0). For volume-based analysis, users can also generate group mask for DPABISurf, and exclude subjects by thresholding coverage and head motion.
1.2. DPABISurf now also output sulcus depth and volume in fsaverage and fsaverage5 spaces for statistical analysis.
1.3. In results organizer of DPABISurf, the redundant files would not be organized now. In addition, the fmriprep and freesurfer files were backed up, while excluding T1 image that may have privacy information such as face.
2. DPABI_VIEW has a new function "Surface View with DPABISurf_VIEW" now. This function will convert the files to fsaverage surface using freesurfer's mri_vol2surf command. Then the results were displayed by calling DPABISurf_VIEW to generate surface-based picture. 
 
 
New features of DPABI_V4.1_190725 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi):
1. DPABISurf_V1.1_190725 updated.
1.1. New module for Surface-Based Temporal Dynamic Analysis (DPABI_TDA_Surf) was added. Dynamic regional indices (ALFF, fALFF, ReHo, Degree Centrality and Global Signal Correlation) and dynamic functional connectivity could be automatically calculated by one click through DPABI_TDA_Surf (with DPABISurf preprocessed data). The statistics maps (CV, Mean and SD) of the dynamic regional indices would also be generated by DPABI_TDA_Surf. A neuroimaging index which measures the concordance of the dynamic regional indices is incorporated into DPABI_TDA_Surf. Please see more details at: Yan, C.-G., Yang, Z., Colcombe, S.J., Zuo, X.-N., Milham, M.P., 2017. Concordance among indices of intrinsic brain function: insights from inter-individual variation and temporal dynamics. Sci Bull 62, 1572-1584.

1.7. The default surface-based smoothing kernel changed to 6mm instead of 10mm.
1.8. The DPABISurf results organizing function was added to the R-fMRI Maps Project.
1.9. Output an excel table for the volume of subcortical structures (calculated by freesurfer): {WorkingDir}/Results/AnatVolu/Anat_Segment_Volume.tsv.
1.10. DPABISurf_VIEW, the surface-based viewer now has a function to yoke between different viewers.
1.11. Docker updated basing on fMRIPrep 1.4.1. Besides pull from docker hub, the docker file can be also downloaded form baidu (extract code: enmn).
1.12. Besides the stand alone version of DPABI (with GUI), the compiled version of DPABISurf_run was also added to docker. Users can run DPABISurf_run with scripting. E.g.,
docker run -it --rm -v /My/FreeSurferLicense/Path/license.txt:/opt/freesurfer/license.txt -v /My/Data/Path:/data cgyan/dpabi /bin/bash
/opt/DPABI/DPABI_StandAlone/run_DPABISurf_run_StandAlone.sh ${MCRPath} /data/DPABISurf_Cfg.mat
2. DPARSF_V4.5_190725 updated.
2.1. For Linux or Mac OS, if FSL is not installed, then DPARSF will call FSL's bet in dpabi docker.
Tips for Linux or Mac OS: please start matlab from terminal in order to reach docker in DPABI (e.g., Linux: matlab; Mac: open /Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/).
 
New features of DPABI_V4.0_190305 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi):
1. DPABISurf was released! DPABISurf is a surface-based resting-state fMRI data analysis toolbox evolved from DPABI/DPARSF, as easy-to-use as DPABI/DPARSF. DPABISurf is based on fMRIPprep 1.3.0.post3 (Esteban et al., 2018)(RRID:SCR_016216), and based on FreeSurfer 6.0.1 (Dale et al., 1999)(RRID:SCR_001847), ANTs 2.2.0 (Avants et al., 2008)(RRID:SCR_004757), FSL 5.0.9 (Jenkinson et al., 2002)(RRID:SCR_002823), AFNI 20160207 (Cox, 1996)(RRID:SCR_005927), SPM12 (Ashburner, 2012)(RRID:SCR_007037), PALM alpha112 (Winkler et al., 2016), GNU Parallel (Tange, 2011), MATLAB (The MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA, US) (RRID:SCR_001622), Docker (https://docker.com) (RRID:SCR_016445), and DPABI V4.0 (Yan et al., 2016)(RRID:SCR_010501). DPABISurf provides user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for pipeline surface-based preprocessing, statistical analyses and results viewing, while requires no programming/scripting skills from the users. The DPABISurf pipeline first converts the user specified data into BIDS format (Gorgolewski et al., 2016), and then calls fMRIPprep 1.3.0.post3 docker to preprocess the structural and functional MRI data, which integrates FreeSurfer, ANTs, FSL and AFNI. With fMRIPprep, the data is processed into FreeSurfer fsaverage5 surface space and MNI volume space. DPABISurf further performs nuisance covariates regression (including ICA-AROMA) on the surface-based data (volume-based data is processed as well), and then calculate the commonly used R-fMRI metrics: amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) (Zang et al., 2007), fractional ALFF (Zou et al., 2008), regional homogeneity (Zang et al., 2004), degree centrality (Zuo and Xing, 2014), and seed-based functional connectivity. DPABISurf also performs surface-based smoothing by calling FreeSurfer’s mri_surf2surf command. These processed metrics then enters surfaced-based statistical analyses within DPABISurf, which could perform surfaced-based permutation test with TFCE by integrating PALM. Finally, the corrected results could be viewed by the convenient surface viewer DPABISurf_VIEW, which is derived from spm_mesh_render.m. Please see details at http://rfmri.org/DPABISurf.
2. DICOM Sorter: In case PatientID is not defined, use PatientName.FamilyName instead.

Local-Global Parcellation of the Human Cerebral Cortex from Intrinsic Functional Connectivity MRI. Cereb Cortex, 1-20.
3. The dcm2nii has been updated to the latest version in courtesy of Dr. Chris Rorden. See: Li, X., Morgan, P.S., Ashburner, J., Smith, J., Rorden, C., 2016. The first step for neuroimaging data analysis: DICOM to NIfTI conversion. J Neurosci Methods 264, 47-56.
4. As there were some parallel computing issues in calling outside command, the callings were no longer using parallel computing (i.e., downgrade from parfor to for). These includes the callings of dcm2nii and bet. 
5. Flexibility for concordance was added to the module of Temporal Dynamic Analysis (DPABI_TDA). Users can freely calculate the concordance of any combinations of ALFF, fALFF, ReHo, Degree Centrality, Global Signal Correlation and VMHC.
6. Fixed some compatibility bugs with higher versions of MATLAB. For example, Time Course error in DPABI_VIEW; uimenu parent problem when calling monkey/rat module; errors regard generating pictures for checking normalization in DPARSFA.
7. Tips for calling "bet": You should start matlab from terminal (e.g., Linux: matlab; Mac: open /Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/). If you installed FSL5.0, you may also need to run this: source /usr/share/fsl/5.0/etc/fslconf/fsl.sh. In addition, in some Linux versions, you may need to start matlab in this way: LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6" matlab.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V3.0_171210 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi):
1. New module for Temporal Dynamic Analysis (DPABI_TDA) was added. Dynamic regional indices (ALFF, fALFF, ReHo, Degree Centrality, Global Signal Correlation and VMHC) and dynamic functional connectivity could be automatically calculated by one click through DPABI_TDA (with DPARSF preprocessed data). The statistics maps (CV, Mean and SD) of the dynamic regional indices would also be generated by DPABI_TDA. A new neuroimaging index which measures the concordance of the dynamic regional indices is incorporated into DPABI_TDA. Please see more details at: Yan CG, Yang Z, Colcombe S, Zuo XN, Milham MP (2017) Concordance among indices of intrinsic brain function: insights from inter-individual variation and temporal dynamics. Science Bulletin. In press.
2. The default setting of permutation test with PALM was changed to two-tailed test. According to our recent study, permutation test with Threshold-Free Cluster Enhancement (TFCE) reaches the best balance between family-wise error rate (under 5%) and test-retest reliability / replicability, thus outperforms the other multiple comparison correction strategies. Please consider use it. Chen, X., Lu, B., Yan, C.G.*, 2018. Reproducibility of R-fMRI metrics on the impact of different strategies for multiple comparison correction and sample sizes. Hum Brain Mapp 39, 300-318.
3. Statistical Analysis Module. Also output effect size maps: Cohen’s f2 maps.
4. Statistical Analysis Module. Added a function for image-based meta analysis: y_Meta_Image_CallR.m. This functional is calling R package ‘metansue’, please install ‘metansue’ and ‘R.matlab’ first.
5. Statistical Analysis Module. Mixed Effect Analysis: Fixed a bug of OtherCovariates and CovVolume.
6. y_ExtractROISignal.m. Remove the voxels with “NaN” values.
7. DPARSF_V4.3_171210: If the file name before realignment is initialed with 'r', then move the 'rr*' files for the next step.
8. DPARSF has a docker version now: https://github.com/BIDS-Apps/DPARSF. Users can run it without installing MATLAB. It also has been deployed at OpenNeuro.org, users can try that online processing system.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V2.3_170105 and DPARSF_V4.3_170105 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi):
1. DPARSFA V4 Parameters (Default Parameters, also for The R-fMRI Maps Project). For ROI signals extraction, the Power 264 ROIs were added as the 1570~1833 ROIs. (Power_Neuron_264ROIs_Radius5_Mask.nii was added to {DPABI}/Templates/)
2. DPARSF Advanced Edition: Re-run with global signal regression (DPARSFA_RerunWithGSR). Fixed a bug when “Remove first X time points” was defined, the number of time points will be adjusted accordingly.
3. DPARSF. Add a “Clear All” button in the ROI List GUI for defining ROIs.
4. Statistical Analysis: Fixed a bug when other covariates were defined in y_MixedEffectsAnalysis_Image.m.
5. Added Yeo2011_7Networks_Colormap_ForDPABI.mat and Yeo2011_17Networks_Colormap_ForDPABI.mat to {DPABI}/Templates, for visualizing Yeo and Buckner 7 or 17 networks in DPABI Viewer.
6. Brainnetome Atlas was added to {DPABI}/Templates: BrainnetomeAtlas_BNA_MPM_thr25_1.25mm.nii.gz and BrainnetomeAtlas_BNA_subregions.xlsx. This is the Maximum Probabilistic Map (MPM) of Brainnetome Atlas, including 246 subregions (210 cortical and 36 subcortical subregions). Citation: Fan, L., Li, H., Zhuo, J., Zhang, Y., Wang, J., Chen, L., Yang, Z., Chu, C., Xie, S., Laird, A.R., Fox, P.T., Eickhoff, S.B., Yu, C., Jiang, T., 2016. The Human Brainnetome Atlas: A New Brain Atlas Based on Connectional Architecture. Cereb Cortex 26, 3508-3526.
7. DPABI Viewer. Added a button “Apply a Mask for Additionally Thresholding” under “Cluster”. This function is used for viewing permutation test results from statistical analysis. Please see http://wiki.rfmri.org/PermutationTest for detailed description for performing permutation test and visualizing the results.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V2.2_161201 and DPARSF_V4.2_161201 (download at http://rfmri.org/dpabi):
1. DPARSF V4.2_161201 released.
1.1. To let the users be more aware what kind of templates they are using, SPM Templates were included under {DPABI}/Templates/ now. If you want to USE YOUR OWN TEMPLATES, please replace the corresponding ones under this directory instead of replacing those under SPM. For example: if you are using normalize by New Segment + DARTEL, please replace {DPABI}/Templates/SPMTemplates/tpm/TPM.nii; If you are using normalize by using EPI template, please replace {DPABI}/Templates/SPMTemplates/toolbox/OldNorm/EPI.nii; If you are using normalize by using T1 image unified segmentation, please replace {DPABI}/Templates/SPMTemplates/toolbox/OldSeg/grey.nii, white.nii, and csf.nii. 
1.2. DPARSF Windows version. Previously need to run as administrator to get results both with and without global signal regression (GSR). Now such limitation is removed (change mklink to copyfile).
1.3. DPARSF Advanced Edition Preprocessing for Task fMRI data: For nuisance regression, the option of “Add mean back” is now default. The mean will be added back to the residual after nuisance regression. This is useful for circumstances of ICA or task-based analysis.
1.4. DPARSFA V4 Parameters (Default Parameters, also for The R-fMRI Maps Project). For ROI signals extraction, the global signal (BrainMask_05_91x109x91.img) was added as the 1569th ROI.
2. Statistical Analysis.
2.1. Given the recent concerns regarding multiple comparison correction, especially after Eklund et al. 2016 PNAS paper, We have included permutation test in the Statistical Analysis module. The permutation test was achieved by integrating PALM package, with the kind permission by Dr. Anderson M. Winkler. Please click “Permutation test (PALM)” button on the Statistical Analysis panel to use it. Please read http://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/PALM/UserGuide for the details of PALM. Please cite Winkler, A.M., Ridgway, G.R., Douaud, G., Nichols, T.E., Smith, S.M., 2016. Faster permutation inference in brain imaging. Neuroimage 141, 502-516 if you used it.
2.2. AlphaSim. For the so-called “bug” — the edge effects within the mask (apply mask and then smooth), DPABI doesn’t have such an issue since DPABI_V1.2_141101. On September 17, 2014, Dr. Katharina Wittfeld reported a bug with AlphaSim for small masks in combination with high smoothness: applying mask before the Gauss filter while the Gauss filter will blur the boundaries of the masked region which will cause problems later (http://rfmri.org/content/alphasim-problem-critical-bug). The code was revised to smooth the whole bounding box first and apply mask later, and the code was distributed with DPABI_V1.2_141101. The estimation of mean and standard deviation is within the whole bounding box as well, which we believe is better than estimating in a small mask (estimation of mean and standard deviation within a small mask might be inaccurate). In addition, Dr. Robert W Cox noted: "Simulations were also repeated with the now infamously "buggy" version of 3dClustSim: the effect of the bug on FPRs was minimal (of order a few percent)." http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/07/26/065862.
2.3. AlphaSim. The previous GUI version can only output simulation results for corner connection (Nearest Neighbor 26). Now we output 3 versions: face (NN6), edge (NN18) and corner (NN26) connection.
2.4. Mixed Effect Analysis (within-subject factor by between-subject factor) was added to the Statistical Analysis module. The order of the group images should be: Group1Condition1; Group1Condition2; Group2Condition1; Group2Condition2. You will get: *_ConditionEffect_T.nii - the T values of condition differences (corresponding to the first condition minus the second condition) (WithinSubjectFactor); *_Interaction_F.nii - the F values of interaction (BetweenSubjectFactor by WithinSubjectFactor); *_Group_TwoT.nii - the T values of group differences (corresponding to the first group minus the second group), of note, the two conditions will be averaged first for each subject for Group_TwoT analysis. (BetweenSubjectFactor).
3. A new ICC version based on R was included (y_ICC_Image_LMM_CallR.m), as the previous one (y_ICC_Image_LMM.m) fails to converge in many cases. y_ICC_Image_LMM_CallR.m is based on the R code written by Dr. Ting Xu (R_Cal_ICC.R). Of note, as this one needs the users to configure R environment (install.packages("nlme") and install.packages("R.matlab”)), the DPABI_ICC_TOOL (DPABI->Utilities->Test-Retest Reliability: ICC) GUI is still using y_ICC_Image_LMM.m. The new version (y_ICC_Image_LMM_CallR.m) should be used in command line.
4. DPABI Results Organizer and Intermediate Files Organizer (under “The R-fMRI Maps Project”): revised the parfor loop to prevent errors in case with too many files.
5. y_T1ImgAverager.m (DPABI->Utilities->T1 Images Averager): All the NaN voxels (in some cases) are set to zero now. Previously, the NaN voxels after averaging can induce trouble in bet.
6. MATLAB 2016b compatible.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V2.1_160415:
1. DPARSF V4.1_160415 released.
1.1. Fixed a bug in DPARSF Basic Edition. The bug is that the white matter signal is always removed in nuisance regression (only exist in the Basic Edition). Thanks to the report of Liviu Badea.
1.2. DPARSF Advanced Edition: Add an option of “Add mean back” for nuisance regression. The mean will be added back to the residual after nuisance regression. This is useful for circumstances of ICA or task-based analysis.
1.3. DPARSF Advanced Edition: Re-run with global signal regression (DPARSFA_RerunWithGSR). Fixed a bug when “Remove first X time points” was defined, the number of time points will be adjusted accordingly now. Thanks to the report of Hua-Sheng Liu.
1.4. DPARSF Advanced Edition: Add a slice timing batch mode for MultiBand data. Users could specify a text timing file for a given participant in SliceOrderInfo.tsv. Please see http://rfmri.org/SliceTiming for more details.
2. DPABI Results Organizer (under “The R-fMRI Maps Project”): also save the text version of ROI signals.
3. Dual Regression added (under Utilities). Define a map, then regress the map on the 4D data for a participant, thus get a time series. Variance-normalize the time series, and then regress on the 4D data, thus get the dual regression map.
4. DPABI Image Calculator (under “Utilities”). Syntax changed, now includes: g1.*To4D((i1>2.3),100) Make a mask (threshold at 2.3 on i1) and then apply to each image in group 1 (group 1 has 100 images).
5. Donsenbach 160 ROIs were merged into a single mask file (Dosenbach_Science_160ROIs_Radius5_Mask.nii).
6. Fixed a bug in y_GroupAnalysis_Image: CovVolume read error.
7. Add "MultiSelect" Mode when user selected "Add Image" for several GUIs.
8. DPABI Image Calculator (under Utilities): Fixed a bug when removing image or directory. Now, when you remove the item, the identifier will be re-ordered.
9. DPABI Viewer: Added a colorbar mode for DPABI_VIEW, when you add "+" or "-" flag at the end in "Add Overlay's Colorbar" entry, DPABI_VIEW will use full colormap to display the overlay.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V2.0_151201 (together with DPARSF_V4.0_151201):
1. Compatible with MATLAB 2014b and later versions.
2. Process the data both with and without global signal regression (GSR). Check “Nuisance regressors setting” -> “Both with & without GSR”. Alternatively, you can call DPARSFA_RerunWithGSR.m. E.g., DPARSFA_RerunWithGSR(DPARSFACfg.mat); where DPARSFACfg.mat stores the previous parameters without GSR.
3. The processing steps are affixed to Results directories. The R-fMRI calculation parameters are also written to the header of the result files.
4. V4 processing parameter template is added. No smoothing before R-fMRI measure calculation (except for VMHC). This is used for comparing across studies and accumulate processed data.
5. DPABI Statistical Analysis. Add multiple comparison test after ANOVA, e.g., 'tukey-kramer' or 'hsd', 'lsd', 'dunn-sidak', 'bonferroni’ or ‘scheffe' procedures.
6. DPABI_VIEW: compatible with BrainNet Viewer 1.5. 
7. Fixed a "File too small" bug when .hdr/.img files are used.
8. Fixed a bug in y_Standardize.m: error when multiple files are defined.
9. Fixed a bug in DPABI Image Calculator: error in standard deviation calculation along the 4th dimension.
10. Results Organizer module: with this module, the users could organize the intermediate files for future processing with DPABI. In addition, the results could be organized for future use, and to be accumulated for the future R-fMRI maps project.
 
 
New features of DPABI_V1.3_150710:
1. SPM12 Compatible.
2. DPARSF_V3.2_150710 released.
3. DPARSF for Rat data released.
The Rat module is based on a Rat T2 template generated by Dr. Adam J. Schwarz et al. Please cite this paper when appropriate: Schwarz, A.J., Danckaert, A., Reese, T., Gozzi, A., Paxinos, G., Watson, C., Merlo-Pich, E.V., Bifone, A., 2006. A stereotaxic MRI template set for the rat brain with tissue class distribution maps and co-registered anatomical atlas: application to pharmacological MRI. Neuroimage 32, 538-550. (A T1 template was included as well. It's generated by normalizing 50 rats (two scans at PND45 or PND60) to that T2 template and then averaging (by Dr. Chao-Gan Yan)).
A video for rat data processing is available at https://d.rnet.co/DPABI_RatDataProcessing_20150520.mp4.
4. Fixed a bug in generating Voxel Specific Head Motion: missing gmdmp.
5. Fixed a bug in Group Analysis: when CovVolume is not defined.
6. Fixed a bug when calling BrainNet Viewer in DPABI_VIEW.
7. Fixed a bug in Standardization: ‘/‘ is not defined in Windows.
8. Fixed a bug in Image Calculator: output will be split as the input files when calculating group images.
 
New features of DPABI_V1.2_141101:
1. DPARSF V3.1 Basic Edition: Fixed a bug of missing DPARSF_run.
2. DPARSF V3.1: Fixed a bug that can not find ROI templates.
3. DICOM Sorter: Fixed a bug - “Add All” button doesn’t work.
4. DPABI Viewer: Fixed a bug when execute GRF or AlphaSim correction.
5. DPABI ROI Signal Extractor: New module added to DPABI->Utilities.
6. y_AlphaSim: Modified by Katharina Wittfeld -- moved the masking step in the code and also inserted several smaller edits, please click here to see the bug post.
7. Test-Retest Reliability: Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC)New module added to DPABI->Utilities. Three ICC algorithms are supported: ANOVA Model, ReML Model and Linear Mixed Models. The algorithms are based on Dr. Xi-Nian Zuo and his colleague’s work. Please cite Dr. Zuo’s work as detailed in each function.
 
New features of DPABI_V1.1_140827:
1. New modules in DPABI Utilities:
1.1. Multiple T1 Images Averager. If you have multiple T1 runs for each subject, this module will coregister them and make a mean T1 image to put to "T1Img" for following analyses.
1.2. T1 Image Defacer. If you want to openly sharing your data, or simply transfer your data to others, this module will remove the face of the T1 images for privacy concerns. This module coregister the MNI template (mni_icbm152_t1_tal_nlin_asym_09c.nii) and MNI face mask (mni_icbm152_t1_tal_nlin_asym_09c_face_mask.nii) to the individual T1 image, and then remove the face and put to "T1ImgDefaced".
2. Bugs Fixed.
2.1. DPABI Viewer: Cluster report doesn't work correctly after GRF correction. Thanks for Vincent's report!
3. DPABI now can check the latest version and pop up a notice.
 
 
DPABI includes the following components.
 
1.     DPARSF 3.0 Advanced Edition.
New features in DPARSF 3.0 Advanced Edition.
1.1.  Quality control. Integrated GUI for QCing the functional and structural images, users can give ratings and comments during the step of interactive reorientation.
1.2.  Automask generation. For checking EPI coverage and generating group mask, the automasks (as in AFNI) will be generated based on EPI images.
1.3.  Brain extraction (Skullstrip). This step can improve the coregistration between functional and structural images. Most registration issues of previous DPARSF versions can be solved by including this step. For Linux and Mac users: Need to install FSL. For Windows users: Thanks to Chris Rorden's compiled version of bet in MRIcroN, the modified version can work on NIfTI images directly.
1.4.  Nuisance Regression. 1) Masks can be generated based on segmentation or SPM apriori masks; 2) Methods can be mean or CompCor [Note: for CompCor, detrend (demean) and variance normalization will be applied before PCA, according to (Behzadi et al., 2007)]; 3) Global Signal can be extracted based on Automasks.
2.     DPARSF 3.0 Basic Edition.
2.1.  DPARSF Basic Edition now is using the engine of DPARSF Advanced Edition.
2.2.  Nuisance Regression (in MNI space) is placed before filtering, according to (Hallquist et al., 2013).
3.     DPARSF for Monkey data.
3.1.  The monkey module is based on Rhesus Macaque Atlases for functional and structural imaging studies generated by Wisconsin ADRC Imaging Core. Please cite their papers when appropriate: (McLaren et al., 2010; McLaren et al., 2009).
3.2.  Of note, the origin of monkey atlas is different from human MNI atlas. Please make sure the correct origins are set at the steps of "reorienting Fun*" and "reorienting T1*".
4.     Preprocessing for task fMRI.
Task fMRI data can be preprocessed via DPABI-DPARSF.
5.     VBM.

您好!
 
感谢您的回答。
 
再请问一下,我这份资料的时间点共有170个,选用的ROI共6个
 
那麽我读取ROI_FCMap_XXX.MAT後,得到的variable "SeedSeries"也应该是170x6的matrix吗?
 
谢谢。

Dr. Yan,

Are the Z transforms for ReHo and Degree Centrality Fisher Z transforms, or are they some other Z transform? Additionally is there a citation or somewhere in the code where you could point where I could understand exactly how the values are being standardized? Thanks!

-Bryson

These Z transformations are minus brain mean and divide by brain STD.

Only VMHC is Fisher's Z transformed.

Hi all,
I am using DPARSFA 4.3, and during the covariate stage, I see the message:

Item 'Covariates', field 'val': Size mismatch (required [1  Inf], present [0  0]).

For each image. The program runs ok, and the covariates seem to have been applied. My covariates are: polynomial trend 2, Firston 24, WM and CSF (from SPM priors), and Compcor.

The results seem to be about the same as in prior work I've done using DPARSFA/DPABI. Is this a warning that can be ignored?

Thanks,

Matt

 

Dear all,

I did resting state analysis with dparsf advanced /DPABI (V3.0_171210) and got a big cluster for stronger connectivity with the IPL.

When I look at it with the Viever I can see that it covers several brain regions, but I can only  read out one peak of the cluster with "Find peak in this cluster.How can I read out local maxima/subpeaks of different brain areas?

Thanks in advance,

Janine

Thank you for your reply.

We already tried the threshold-enhancing method, but wanted to know, if there is a better way.

So, it is not possible to change something in the code of y_ClusterReport.m

to not only write out the amount of voxels for each subcluster, but also the peak of the reported subclusters?

 

Hi Professor Chao-Gan,

First I want to thank you for developing this software. So far, I've been able to successfully view statistical maps, GFR corrected (voxel p<0.0214, cluster p <0.1 two-tailed). However, I would like to show a FC map one before and one after intervention as well. Is there a way to show an average FC map for all participants?

Or would there be a better program to visualize this? I've been trying to use BrainNetViewer with DPABI but was unable to do so. Should it work if the BrainNetViewer file is under the general DPABI folder, or should it be in a specific subfolder?

Please note that I'm very new to RS-fMRI analysis so apologies if my questions have already been answered.

Thank you so much,

Claire

Dear Dr. Yan,

Thank you for developing such awesome software. I am a big fan of DPABI. Recently, I used y_CWAS.m to perform the CWAS analysis.

[p_Brain, F_Brain, Header] = y_CWAS(DataUpDir, SubID, AResultFilename, AMaskFilename, Regressor, iter, IsNeedDetrend, Band, TR)

I am a little confused of "Regressor". I know CWAS is an approach of identifying the pattern of connectome that relates to the clinical variable.

So, is this "Regressor" my clinical variable or the covariates (e.g. age and gender)?

If I input the clinical variable as "Regressor", where can I input the covariates (e.g. age and gender)?

Looking forward to your reply. Thank you so much. I really appreciate.

Best,

 

 

Clinical Variable, no covariates.

I haven't maintain this module for a long time. Thus you may need to check Shehzad's paper and see if you need to modify the codes.

Hello
I'm the first to use software DPARSF.
I'm having a problem with loading data. I do not know what should be given as an input to the software.
Can anyone help me please?
thanks

我刚接触这个软件,关于matlab版本以及dpabi、spm版本的问题不太了解,在运行的时候老是会有许多的错误,在网页中找不到manual的位置,有热心的朋友能帮忙给出一个可以用的matlab、dpabi、spm适配的版本么,谢谢

严老师:
       您好!想问一下为什么我用最新版dpabi处理bold图像,由dicom转为nii,图片中脑的图像只剩下了白色,而其它软件,包括dpabi旧版处理没有这样,normalization by dartel 后也很异常,t1和fun的图像完全无重叠,甚至一个东边一个西边。by epi没有这种情况,以前用旧版本没遇过这些问题。
希望得到您的指导,谢谢

老师,您好,我从HCP数据库下载了他们预处理后的静息态数据,现在想用dpabi分析一下功能连接。问题是每个被试的静息态数据包括两个扫描方向的结果一个是从左向右扫描的静息态数据,如“rfMRI_REST1_LR”,一个是从右向左扫描的静息态数据“rfMRI_REST1_RL”。那如果使用dpabi分析的话,是先将这两种数据合并成一个数据吗?还是说先分开分析,最后将脑结果平均?麻烦了,期待回复!

Hi, I have been using the functional connectivity function in the DPABI pipeline. 

There are 4 runs in my study and I finished all preprocessing procedures with a click on functional connectivity box and defined 4 ROIs.

DPABI output images for each ROI in each run. Then I avearge the zFC image for 4 runs and get an mean zFC image for each ROI.

Then I did an one-sample t test in the SPM12 to get the results, however the t-values are very high (close to 50) where FWE correction cannot threshold out significant brain areas that functionally connected to the ROIs. 

I am wondering if this situation is common or not or is there any other approach I can do to get the right result in the DPABI.

Thanks!

Simon

 

 

Hi,

Is the preprocessed Rest-Meta-MDD available? 

Looking forward to hearing back, Thanks.

 

 

Hi'

Who worked with the of Children Brain Atlas (aged from 7 to 19) for rest-fMRI analysis? I need the children brain atlas to import in DPARSF. I would be grateful if you could help me.

Hi,

I had gotten voxel-based data using the other software. I am trying to do the statistical analysis on DPABI Statistical Analysis but continue getting the error message: Unrecognized function or variable 'spm_vol'. The picture below is the error message I got. Have any suggestion for me to fix the problem? Thank you. Look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Hi

I have one question about the output file of the DPARSF. I need the T1w image which has the same dimension of the output image in the /ResultsS folder (ALFF, Reho and etc.). I know that there is a coregisgration between T1w image and Functional image, but I cannot find the registered T1w image which has the same size of the output files. I do not want to just change the underlay and view the result (I know that Dpabi viewer can do that, but the size of the images still did not match). I need the registered files to do the further process. Could you please give me some suggestions about that?

严老师您好,我在计算VMHC的时候这样报错,我检查了很多遍文件和试了很多次,似乎没有找的文件问题,不知道为什么,希望严老师能解答一下,非常感谢!

Dear Professor Yan

I have a question.

Can I use DARTEL method on a single subject?

For example, if I have already FC results of 100 subjects which were obtained by using DARTEL method at once

can I add a FC result of a single subject which were separately obtained by the same DARTEL method ??

Those two data are consistent ?

Sincerely

Ido Ji

Dear Professor Yan

(Sorry some error happened in posting this comments, so two qeustions are generated in this site.)

In RS-fMRI data preprocessing, I am using the template : calcuate in MNI Space (warp by DARTEL)

I don't change any values on the template but choosing AAL template on FC ROI.

And I always use dcm files in preprocessing.

 

 

Question 01 : Some trouble happens on some data.

image link : https://ibb.co/72GYS62

 As you know already, preprocessing on some subjects results in scanning information txt files for each subject in FunImg folder after transformation as NifTi files.

Let me consider two different groups data to preprocess : a group A and the other group B.

If I conduct preprocessing on group A data, the information txt files show "slice timing" information.

However, if I conduct the same preprocessing on group B, they show no "slice timing information" at all.

(please refer to the image link)

And preprocessing on the group B shows error message like : 

"SliceTiming" is an unrecognizable field name.
 
error : DPARSFA>pushbuttonRun_Callback (1854th line)
    [Error, Cfg]=DPARSFA_run(handles.Cfg);
 
error: gui_mainfcn (95th line)
        feval(varargin{:});
 
error : DPARSFA (30th line)
    gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
 
 
If I conduct the same preprocessing step on a single subject of the group B, however,  no errer occurs.
Nevertheless, no slicetiming information is showed neither.
(From this, I can only guess showing the slice timing information in txt files may not be critical on the preprocessing)
Preprocessing on each single subject is very time-cosuming.
Can you give me any ideas to solve this problem?
 
 
 

 

 

Question 02 : 

Image link : https://ibb.co/PGNqXxV

I am not an expert on fMRI data, so I can't decide which case can be omitted from reorientation.

For me, the first case is very ideal result of Normalization.

However, other cases seem to me somewhat offcentered in Normalization

Should I re-preprocess on those fMRI images?

Sincerely

Ido Ji

1. If DPARSF detects one subject with Slice Timing information, then it will assume all of your subjects have this info.

2. If No Slice Timing information is provided, DPARSF will do a guess, you should be sure its guess is correct.

3. Reorientation is not the only factor for bad normalization. But usually we will reorient all subjects.
