ALFF analysis

Submitted by Lena1491 on Wed, 04/25/2018 - 18:16

Dear all,

I am very new to the Rest toolbox and have two questions regarding the ALFF analysis with Rest.

1. I am wondering why it appears as if my brain input is "distorted" after the bandpass filtering step or when I exclude the filtering, after the ALFF step? I attached pitcure: the first image is the preprocessed file, the seconds the detrended file, the third the detrended & filtered file and the fourth the ALFF_map. And as the blue haircross shows, a few milimeters have "disappeared" from the brain mask with the filtering step and in the ALFF_map compared to the original and detrended file. Am I doing something wrong or is this distortion "normal" and caused by the filtering? 

2. I am trying to script the analysis without the GUI. So far, I only receive the ALFF_map as output with the alff.m function. However, I would also like to generate the mALFF_map with my script and was wondering whether there is another function for it or if I will need to script this step? 

Thanks so much in advance for any help.

Best, Lena

Hi Lena,

   1) You don't need to bandpass filter before ALFF claculation.

   2)You can use script or RESTplus to calculate mALFF.

alff(AllVolume,ASamplePeriod, HighCutoff, LowCutoff, AMaskFilename, AResultFilename)

老师，我想请教一下您最近讲的做完ALFF双样本t检验之后，进行的GRF校正所使用的t图是怎么得到的？
