I don't know what PFA is and am otherwise having some trouble following your question. There is grand mean intensity normalization to 10000, meaning that the entire 4D image inside the brain mask has a mean of 10000.

The release notes for this subject say these files were processed using v3+ of the pipeline. I believe 4d intensity normalization to mean of 10^4 is being done here. However, PFA the mean brain activation (after applying mask) during the course of the scan . They are all close to 10^4, more like a global signal normalization for every 3d volume. I am having trouble reconciling both. Thanks in advance for the help.
