Resting-State fMRI Data Analysis Toolkit plus V1.30 (RESTplus V1.30)

 
 
 
     RESTplus 从 REST(静息状态 fMRI 数据分析工具包)演变而来。它基于 Matlab 和 SPM8。RESTplus 包括四个主要模块,即管道、统计分析、实用程序和查看器。

     The pipeline (either fixed or flexible) module provides a very easy way for data processing. After arrangethe DICOM or NIFTI filesand click a few buttons to set parameters, the pipeline (or flexible) module will automatically calculate each processing step and give you all the processed data. The pipeline and flexible module can perform slice timing, realign, reorient, normalize, smooth, detrend, filter, nuisance covariates regression, Functional Connectivity (FC), Regional Homogeneity (ReHo), Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuation (ALFF), fractional ALFF (fALFF), Granger causality, degree centrality, voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC), and percent amplitude of fluctuation (PerAF). 

     You can also use RESTplus to perform statistical analysis, view your data, perform Monte Carlo simulation (similar to AlphaSim in AFNI), perform Gaussian random field theory multiple comparison correction like easythresh in FSL, calculate your images, regress out covariates, extract ROI time courses, reslice images, calculate intraclass correlation, perform quality assurance, normalize PET data, inverse data into original space, and sort DICOM files. RESTplus also includes ASL toolbox.

1. Added SSM-PCA in Statistical Analysis Module. (Yuan Li-Xia)

Please see more details about SSM-PCA at: Yuan LX, Wang JB, Zhao N, et al. Intra- and Inter-scanner Reliability of Scaled Subprofile Model of Principal Component Analysis on ALFF in Resting-State fMRI Under Eyes Open and Closed Conditions. Front Neurosci. 2018;12:311. Published 2018 May 25. doi:10.3389/fnins.2018.00311

2. Added an approach “Using T1 image new segment” in normalization.

3. Rigid-body 6 parameter model was replaced by Friston 24-parameter model in “Nuisance covariates regression”.

4. RESTplus V1.24 is compatible with Matlab2018a now. 

5. Added Temporal Dynamic Analysis (Volume-based). 

6. Added Mixed Effects Analysis in Statistical Analysis Module.

7. Fixed a bug about the settings of “User defined mask” in pipeline.

8. Fixed a bug which was appeared when the user name was in Chinese. The error was about the file called 'Img4Chek.img' that was generated in User Folder in normalization.

9. Fixed a bug that was caused by selecting multiple ROI paths in ROI wise Functional connectivity.

   For RESTplus V1.0 and RESTplus V1.1, the nuisance covariates regression result was wrong when two or more subjects were included (in pipeline or flexible module). For RESTplus V1.2, the bug of indir_RegressOutCov.m has been fixed (line30,line40).  If you have had any regression results from RESTplus V1.0 or RESTplus V1.1, you have to re-analyze your data with RESTplus V1.2. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dprasf 预处理后图像的问题,用其他方法预处理则没有出现,求解

请教一下各位老师们

为什么我用Dprasf 预处理后图像在脑底部出现黑色条带(见附件),而用其他方法预处理则没有出现?是否可以通过修改dparsf的处理过程得到改善,这样的结果对后面的分析会产生怎样的影响?

非常感谢!
