fMRI-Evoked

Overview of Pipeline

1

Estimate the task-driven BOLD response model

2

Create subject evoked response map using General Linear Model (GLM) analysis

3

Group-level statistics

fMRI-Resting State

1

Nuisance signal regression (6 degrees of motion parameter)

2

Frequency filtering (Typical range of band-pass filter: 0.01 ~ 0.1Hz)

3

Calculate resting state parameters: ALFF, ReHo, Seed-based connectivity, etc.

Seed location: S1

DTI

Overview of Pipeline

1

Rigid Registration

Individual cases are aligned to an external template atlas and the DTI metrics are computed from the raw DWI image

2

Skull Stripping

All non-brain tissue is removed from the image

3

Population Average Creation

The registered images are averaged together to create an image that is representative of the population of data.

4

Population Average Segmentation

The segmentation from the external template atlas is applied to the population atlas

5

Segmentation Propagation

The segmentation from the population average image is propagated, or warped back to the individual subjects.

6

Region Based Statistics

Both volume and diffusion based-metrics (FA, MD, AD, RD) can be gathered from the indvidual cases’ warped segmentation.
