1. Yes 2. I haven’t tried it on parcellated timeseries, but suspect that would be fine too.

Matt Glasser suggested that I mean/variance-correct and concatenate the RL and LR phase encoded time series. I still have a couple of questions. 1. Is the concatenation over time? If so, doesn’t this introduce temporal discontinuity? Am I understanding the concatenation correctly? 2. Would the outcome be equivalent whether I do the preprocessing to the original rfMRI file OR to the ROI extracted time series and why? Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may offer.

I am wondering if we are talking about the same thing when referring to “time series”. Perhaps, if I tell you what I have done so far, my question will be more clear: I have defined a ROI and extracted a time series from the original data file; the time series is a single vector corresponding to the mean lever of activity of that ROI . So, do I apply the mean and variance normalization to this vector and then concatenate the vectors, or do I do all this (preprocessing and concatenating) prior to extracting the ROI vector time series. (As a side note, I can do all this vector preprocessing in Matlab.) Would these two approaches be equivalent?

Do I simply concatenate the time series as a temporal sequence, rfMRI_REST2_LR followed by rfMRI_REST2_RL ? Thanks again for the kind help. Heracles Panagiotides, PhD From: hercp Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2017 5:15 AM To: Glasser, Matthew Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] rfMRI data files Thanks for the kind reply, Matt. Let me make sure that I understand the process. I should extract the time series from regions of interest from each phase encoded file. Then I should concatenate the time series demeaning and variance normalizing? Am I way off? Sorry about the naïve questions, but I am a couple of decades behind in MR work. [Smile] Thanks, Heracles Panagiotides, PhD From: Glasser, Matthew Sent: Monday, October 02, 2017 5:11 PM To: hercp ; HUMAN CONNECTOME Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] rfMRI data files Yes you ideally would analyze all of the resting state fMRI runs per subject. They have different phase encoding directions, so you should always analyze an equal amount of each. Be sure to demean and perhaps variance normalize prior to concatenating. Peace. Matt.
