Dear Lars,

many thanks for your reply, I will then use the PhysIO toolbox.


So, if I understood correctly,  in the SPM batch module "TAPAS PhysIO toolbox" I will have to focus just on the "model" part (see image attached), as I haven't collected physiological measures and I just want to perform aCompCor...correct? Can I just edit the batch script to delete the sections "log_files","scan_timing" and "preproc"?

Also, my preprocessing pipeline includes realignment (estimation and reslicing), slice timing, coregistration (estimate), segmentation, normalisation (write), smoothing. Anything else I would need for a successful denoising?

Many thanks for your help.

Best,
Sara
