Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the release of The R-fMRI Course V3.0 (http://rfmri.org/Course)!
The R-fMRI Course V3.0 is a major update since V2.1. The R-fMRI Course V3.0 systematically introduces the principles of resting-state fMRI (R-fMRI), current research, methodological issues, computational platform and its applications to brain disorders. More importantly, The R-fMRI Course V3.0 explains the data processing details for DPABI/DPABISurf/DPARSF, including data conversion, data preprocessing, temporal dynamic analysis, quality control, statistical analysis and results viewing.
A key point of The R-fMRI Course V3.0 is the video course for DPABISurf V1.1. 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 1.4.1 (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 V4.1 (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.
DPABISurf is designed to make surface-based data analysis require minimum manual operations and almost no programming/scripting experience. We anticipate The R-fMRI Course V3.0 will guide users to be skilled at how to use this open-source toolbox.

Best,
