RE: Field mapping correction
Hi Madeleine,

Yes, the simplest way is perhaps to check the images named ref_*.nii and uref_*.nii which are created by CONN during the 'create_vdm' preprocessing step (those represent the "before" and "after", respectively, homogeneity correction images on a sample reference volume). You may compare them, for example, from the command line using something like:

   spm_check_registration ref_FUNCTIONAL.nii uref_FUNCTIONAL.nii

(please change FUNCTIONAL above to the name of your original functional data)

Hope this helps
Alfonso

Hi Alfonso,

I have a question that is related to this thread.

I am new to rsfMRI and am using CONN 19c. I have used the pre-set pipeline for indirect normalization with fieldmaps. During the preprocessing step, I uploaded 2 mag files and 1 phase file per subject, to use for susceptibility distortion correction with field maps. I manually specified the parameters (TEs, EPI readout time, blip direction), but I'm not sure which is the correct blip direction, and have tried a direction of -1, because the phase-encoding direction of the EPI images was anterior to posterior. I want to compare the original functional scans with those after SDC-correction, side-by-side, to see if they look better/worse. Is there a way to do this in CONN? Also, which file would I need to select? The 'meanu' file?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

All the best,

Madeleine
