Preprocessing: Generated file names and slice viewer (QA displays)
Hi there,
I have some questions regarding the slice viewer.
- White matter ROI:
- ROI tools → Display slice viewer with structural overlay (QA_REG): looks well aligned (please see attached screenshot).
- ROI tools → Display slice viewer with MNI boundaries (QA_NORM): does not look well aligned (please see attached screenshot).
- Why is that, if the file is supposed to be in MNI space? When I
load the file Wc1cwc0csT1_RAS.nii in FSLeyes, it is in MNI
space.
→ Is the file in MNI space or in subject space?
→ What do the letters in the filename (Wc1cwc0csT1_RAS) stand for?
- Grey matter
ROI:
ROI tools → Display slice viewer with structural overlay (QA_REG): please see attached screenshot
- What does CONN use for the brain image and the yellow
outline?
Is the background brain the subject’s anatomical image in MNI space, or something transformed?
Tooltip says: “Slice viewer with func/struc overlay displays ROI contours overlaid with mean functional or same-subject anatomical volume.”
→ What exactly does functional mean here?
- What does CONN use for the brain image and the yellow
outline?
3. Functional data:
func tab → Display slice viewer with anatomical overlay (QA_REG): please see attached screenshot
- Are the fMRI brains already in MNI space?
Tooltip says: “slice viewer with anatomical overlay displays mean functional overlaid with same-subject structural volume.”
- Are the fMRI brains already in MNI space?
Thanks in advance!
