Scrubbing

Submitted by Miss Lima on

Hello!

I´m doing pre-processing in DPARSF and as expected when i do scrubbing some of my subject loose some timepoints (the "bad" ones).  When i was doing analysis ins SPM i had some trouble in put the onsets once scrubbing had removed some timepoints ( i had much problem when scrubbing removed a lot of time points).  My question is, how should i proceed in this case? I mean, how to fill the onsets parameter ? Should i delete (cut) the bad timepoints or interpolate them when i´m doing scrubbing?
I know that DPARSF create some .txt files called FD_Power, FD_jenkison and FD_Vandjik.  Should i use all of them as regressors in SPM analysis? 

I hope you could help me!

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Did you perform scrubbing regression on your functional data? If so, you can scrubb your onset series as putting the "bad time points" to 0.

For "FD_Power" etc., I think it's better for you to put the Friston 24 parameters as regressors in your model.

Hello!!
Yes, I did perform scrubbing on my functional data. 
I´m sorry but I didn´t understand what you meant by " you can scrubb your onset series as putting the "bad time points" to 0 ". 
I do not use FRISTON 24 parameter regressor because i didnt perform nuisance regression (it was distorting my images, but that´s another problem problem that i will expose here later on).
Im my SPM analysis i was using as multiple regressor only the rp_a20160118_110546s801a1008.txt file in the realign parameter folder on DPARSF.But as i´m doing scrubbing should i use the FD_POWER txt file as regressor too? 

Thanks in advance

Hi,
For a given condition, the regressor is something like (1s at corresponded onsets):
1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
You can scrub on this series.

I don't suggest add FD_POWER as a regressor. Adding Friston 24 is better if you can figure out a way.
