NAME
mvpa-prep-fmri - preprocess fMRI data for PyMVPA
SYNOPSIS
mvpa-prep-fmri [OPTIONS] <fmri-data>
DESCRIPTION
Tiny tool to prepare a directory for a typical analysis of fMRI data with PyMVPA. Tools from the FSL suite will be used for preprocessing. It takes a 4D fMRI timeseries as input and performs the following steps:
- extract an example volume
- perform motion correction using the example volume as reference
- conservative skull-stripping and brain mask generation
- masking of the motion-corrected timeseries with the brain mask
All results will be stored either in the current directory, or in a subdirectory with the subject ID (if specified).
