DPABI/DPABISurf/DPARSF

Dear experts,

I found that Brodmann Atlas was used in DPABI Viewer and REST Slice Viewer. In REST, there are 48 areas in the Brodmann Atlas, whereas there are only 41 areas in DPABI. I wonder if there are any other differences between these two atlas? And which one is recommanded?

Thanks in advance!

we use DPARSF_V2.3_130615 to prepross data. The patameters were set showed below:

However, it always warn error showing that No matching files were found:

So how to correct this error ? Thanks a lot!

Hello again!

Firs of all, congratulations! The new tool "dpabi"  looks amazing! Another step forward!

It could be a silly question, but if run an analysis, with New segmentation + Dartel and then I  Normalized to EPI template. Is this a bad processing criteria? 

How it can affect to my analysis? 

Or if I want to normalize to EPI templates  I need to run the old segmentation?

Thank you!

Dear Experts in rfmri,

1. I calculated ALFF/fALFF using dparsfA2.3:

Firstly, I got the file named "FunImgARCWS" just like the attachment file.

Secondly, I calculated ALFF/fALFF based on the "FunImgARCWS" files. I checked the  "ALFF/fALFF" and then checked the filtering "Band(Hz):0.01-0.08" which is behind the "ALFF/fALFF" .

Are the steps which I mentioned on ALFF/fALFF calculation using dparsfA2.3 right?

Dear experts,

I was recommended DPARSF recently and it looks really promising.
I'm just testing the software, but I ran into an error which I can't resolve.

During preprocessing I get an Bet error:

Bet begin...
/bin/bash: bet: command not found
/bin/bash: bet: command not found
Bet finished

But as you may guess from the above, not Bet'ed files are created.
I do have FSL installed, and when calling bet from terminal (Mac user), it works perfect. So somehow matlab can't access the right path.
Any ideas what may cause this?

Dear experts,

I have just watched the Course section V, in which Dr. Yan said that FWHM could be estimated by either statistical map or 4D residual file. I did the 2-sample t-test using Rest, which only generated a nii file. I suppose the nii file is statistical map, right? And where can I found the residual file?

Best,

Vincent

Dear experts,

Dear Colleagues,

I wonder if there is a way to run the pipeline with DARTEL using T1s that are already skull-stripped.

I tried doing that with the default options (specifying New Segment + DARTEL) and failed (the output was bad with removed brain parts).

Thank you very much for your time, and I welcome any of your suggestions or comments.

Hi all, 

I'm trying to compare different groups, one group is older than the other one (experimental group mean age 51 yr and control group 33 yr) but the control group has always a higher activation. I suppose it could be related with the age,  isn't it?

I've tried different processing steps, also I've tried introducing age as covariate of no interest, but nothing.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance!
