RE: What happens with ART outliers ?
Hi Till

CONN's default denoising procedure does not interpolate outlier scans, nor does it remove entire subjects, it simply disregards individual scans/timepoints flagged as a potential outliers by virtue of explicitly regressing out any outlier effects as part the denoising procedure. For a general description of the denoising procedure in CONN see https://web.conn-toolbox.org/fmri-method... , and/or the "treatment of temporal confounding factors" section in the original CONN paper (listed in https://web.conn-toolbox.org/resources/documentation ), and for a general description/justification of this "scrubbing" procedure see Power et al. 2014 "Methods to detect, characterize, and remove motion artifact in resting state fMRI" manuscript)

Sorry for the basic question, somehow i dont't figure out the answer myself.
What does conn do with the identified outliers? In the default pipeline the threshold is 0.9. BUT, is their a threshold for removing the whole subject like when there are more than 50 outliers?? can i change that? i work with the batch and gui...

does conn displace the outliers with a mean of the previous and following timepoint? where can i read more about that??

thanks in advance!!
