motion correction before defacing? #10

Closed Conxz closed 4 years ago

Conxz commented 7 years ago

A nice tool! I am thinking of whether the defacing would affect the following data analysis. For example, when aligning the template file to the input file (4D, reference in flirt), only the first volume is used for the registrition. So the defacing could work pefect for the first volume. But if head motion exists in the 4D file, this defacing would lead to masking differently for each following volumes. I am not sure whether this different masking for each volume would affect the motion correction of the defaced data. Perhaps, it would be better to do the defacing after motion correction. What do you think about this issue?

I would do the defacing after motion correction cheers rp
