GLMdenoise

GLMdenoise is a MATLAB toolbox for analyzing and denoising task-based fMRI data. It is developed by Kendrick Kay (kendrick@post.harvard.edu).

GLMdenoise is a subset of, and superseded, by a new tool called GLMsingle. See http://glmsingle.org for details.

To use the toolbox, add it to your MATLAB path: addpath(genpath('GLMdenoise'));

To try the toolbox on an example dataset, change to the GLMdenoise directory and then type: example1; This script will download the example dataset (if it has not already been downloaded) and will run the toolbox on the dataset.

History of major code changes:

• 2014/08/01: Version 1.4.
  • Add option for obtaining parametric GLM fits and error estimates.
  • Add new DVARS sanity-check figures.
  • Change the polynomial functions such that they are all mutually orthogonal and unit-length. This may cause slight changes to behavior due to numerical precision issues.
• 2014/07/14: Version 1.31.
  • Minor fixes to improve platform compatibility.
  • Add additional input flexibility.
• 2013/12/13: Version 1.3.
  • Added new example scripts.
• 2013/11/18: Version 1.2.
  • The default canonical HRF has changed. (It is now smoother/nicer than before.)
  • Add additional input flexibility.
  • If pcvoxels is determined to be empty (e.g. no voxels were above 0% for any number of PCs), we now issue a warning (instead of crashing) and fallback to simply using the top 100 voxels to select the number of PCs.
  • Change the colormap scaling for the PCcrossvalidationscaled*.png figures.
  • Use fullfile to ensure compatibility with different platforms.
  • In GLMestimatemodel.m, we now use the same default for opt.maxpolydeg that is used in GLMdenoisedata.m (instead of defaulting to 2).
  • Various small tweaks.
• 2013/05/12: Version 1.1.
  • The experimental design can now be specified in terms of onset times. This means that conditions do not have to exactly coincide with the TRs.
  • Fixed a bug concerning extraregressors.
  • Additional optional inputs, additional outputs, and additional figures.
  • All-zero regressors (e.g. encountered via bootstrapping) are now assigned zero weight.
• 2012/12/03 - Version 1.02. Various speed-ups and minor bug fixes.
• 2012/11/24 - Version 1.0.
