Walkthrough: How to use FsFast and fcseed-sess for functional connectivity analysis including example commands.

For general tips on using FsFast, download this powerpoint:

*STEP 1: Unpack Data into the FSFAST Hierarchy using "unpackscmdir"

unpacksdcmdir

1.QA Check after unpacking:

  • A - Check unpacked data (time points, # of slices ..etc)
  • B - Check FSFAST hierarchy in session folder

*STEP 2: Reconstruction Anatomical data using "recon-al -all"

1.Set SUBJECTS_DIR

2.QA Check:

  • A - Check talairach transformation
  • B - Check skull strip, white matter & pial surface

  • C - Re-run "recon-all" if edits are made
  • D - Check hierarchy of reconstructed anatomical data recon-all

1.Make FSFAST basic hierarchy (only if data are not unpacked in FSFAST hierarchy)

2.Link to FreeSurfer anatomical analysis

A - Make subjectname’ file in the session directory to link a subject's functional & structural data

3.Create a sessid file (text file with list of your sessions)in your Study DIR.

4.Create a Stimulus Schedule (Paradigm file) in bold folder (A "paradigm" file is a record of which stimulus was presented when & for how long.

Each paradigm file has four columns:

  • A - Stimulus onset time (sec)
  • B - Condition ID code (0, 1, 2, ...)
  • C - Stimulus Duration (sec)
  • D - Stimulus Weight (usually 1)

*STEP 3: Pre-process your bold data using preproc-sess preproc-sess

# Preprocessing of fMRI Data

preproc-sess -s <subjid> -fwhm <#>

1.By default this will do motion correction, smoothing & brain masking

2.Quality Check (plot-twf-sess) 3.Examine additions to FSFAST hierarchy (in each run of bold dir):

  • f.nii (Raw fMRI data)
  • fmc.nii (Motion corrected-MC)

    fmcsm5.nii (MC & smoothed)

  • fmc.mcdat (Text file with the MC parameters (AFNI))
  • brain.mgz (Binary mask of the brain)

# Function-Structure Registration View unregistered:

Run automatic registration:

Check automatic registration:

A - Make edits if needed using scale as the last resort Check talairach registration:

*STEP 4: Use fcseed-sess to generate time-course information for your chosen seed region (as well as nuisance variable signal).

*STEP 5: Use mkanalysis-sess to setup an analysis for your FC data

*STEP 6: Use selxavg3-sess to run the subject-level analysis

*STEP 7: Use mri_glmfit or selxavg3-sess to run a group-level analysis
