Hi CONN experts, 

I have several participants with functional data that have "chopped" images (please see attached). If I select "implicit mask" in the setup options, will the subsequent group-level analyses be restricted to the participant with the most severe chop? I tried rerunning the setup with the "explicit mask" option, but denoising QC-FC associations seem more off compared to the "implicit mask" option. Any advice is greatly appreciated! 

Thanks in advance, 
Andrea Burgess
