Hello CONN users,
I've been reading some articles on artifact reduction in connectivity through BOLD signal (these three in particular):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2897154/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27956209
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811917302288
Curiously I've noticed that some of the authors have suggested smoothing the EPI images within specified mask regions (i.e. 6mm FWHM on a grey matter mask, same on a white matter mask using 3dBlurInMask) on the residuals of the EPI data once the nuisance regressors have been regressed out.
I was wondering how (if possible) one could do this in CONN.
Is it as simple as asking a residual file to be written, smoothing it with the specified parameters, and then placing the relevant files back into the appropriate matlab directory?
If so, may I ask where exactly this area in the directory would be?
