     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.

New features of RESTplus V1.30(released 20240508)   

1. Added Global-brian Functional Connectivity Analysis (Volume-based), which is a data driven method and can calculate the connectivity of all voxels in the brain relative to other voxels.

New features of RESTplus V1.29(released 20240308)

1. Added Temporal Dynamic PerAF Analysis (Volume-based). 

New features of RESTplus V1.28(released 20230706)

1. Fixed a bug where the file path with ".nii.gz" as a suffix was read

New features of RESTplus V1.27(released 20220829)

1. Fix the problem that the mask vaule is 1 while that of the NIFTI data is 0 in some voxels in two sample t-test.

New features of RESTplus V1.26(released 20220820)

1. Upgraded the data type of NIFTI Header to 32 bit float. 

New features of RESTplus V1.25 (released 20210630) 

1. Added a plug-in to obtain DICOM information of functional image in bluk.

2. Compatibility with Mac system was improved.

3. Added the function which can obtain information of Slice Order automatically.

4. Added a tool to delete time points from back to front in bluk.

5. Images Flip was added.

6. Upgraded the FD module, the new version will automatically generate the Mean FD indicator for each subject.

7. Upgraded statistics module. The new version can estimate FWHM based on residual error and apply it to GRF correction.

8. Upgraded the function of converting DICOM format to NIFTI (the new version is based on: dcm2niix.exe) .

9. Upgraded the GRF correction module. The new version can save both T and Z maps at the same time.

10. Added code of making intersection mask.

New features of RESTplus V1.24 (released 20200902) (Sun Jia-Wei, Li Zi-Qi, Jia Xi-Ze) 

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.

New features of RESTplus V1.23 (released 20200428)

1. Added Wavelet-ALFF module. (Sun Jia-Wei，Jia Xi-Ze)

2. If 'not add mean back' and 'PerAF' are selected at the same time，a tooltip will be generated. (Sun Jia-Wei，Jia Xi-Ze)

3. The settings of TR and Smooth are fixed. (Sun Jia-Wei，Jia Xi-Ze)

4.‘Save Clusters’is fixed to display both positive and negative associations on the viewer after saving all the clusters. (Li Zi-Qi，Jia Xi-Ze)

New features of RESTplus V1.22 (released 20190420)

Add BDA module. (Jia Xi-Ze)

New features of RESTplus V1.21 (released 20190205)

Add mean back modification (Wei Wei）

New features of RESTplus V1.2 (released 20160202)

1  AlphaSim. The so-called "bug" has been fixed (the edge effects within the mask)

2 A bug for "Nuisance covariates regression" has been fixed

   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.

3 A bug for help panel of "3d ASL Normalization" has been fixed.

New features of RESTplus V1.1 (released 20160122)

1. SPM12 Compatible (JIA Xi-Ze)

3. Updated rp_spm_write_vol.m and rp_spm_read_vols.m from SPM5 to SPM12 (JIA Xi-Ze and LI Xun).

4. Spatial correlation of images in Imaging Calculator, supporting mask selection (JIA Xi-Ze; Thanks the report by JIAO Fang-Yang).

5. Added standardized effect size for t-tests (GAO Zhong-Zhan and JIA Xi-Ze)

6. Fixed a bug when subject ID of dicom header includes ‘-’ or ‘:’. ‘_’ and ‘:’ will be replaced by ‘_’. (JIA Xi-Ze; Thanks report of LIU Yan)
