I would not do #2 as you need to do some preprocessing prior to running ICA+FIX when concatenating across runs and this is all that the multi-run ICA+FIX pipeline does differently from regular ICA+FIX.
I’ll let Steve answer that other question. Matt.

So I will try below three options to see which one is better. 1. ICA+FIX on each 5 min run separately 2. Concatenate each pair of scans from each session and then ICA+FIX on each session 3. Use multi-run ICA+FIX to combine across runs I have another simple question. In the paper published in NeuroImage (Smith et al., 2013, rfMRI in the HCP), the Figure 9 shows functional connectivity in the default mode network; one is from 15 min run from single subject, another one is from 4*15 min runs from single subject, and the other one is from all subjects concatenated. How did you process the data to present those figures (second and third one)? The third one should be processed with group ICA, right? What about the second one? This is processed with method 3 on above list? Thanks.

For 5 minute runs, I would expect combining across runs to be best. We haven’t tested combining across sessions yet, so you would have to check that that was working okay if you wanted to try that. Peace, Matt.

You could try FIX both ways on a few subjects and decide which is working better. Cheers.

We have processed the data using HCP pipelines (e.g., PreFreeSurfer, FreeSurfer, PostFreeSurfer, fMRIVolume, fMRISurface and ICA+FIX). So we have results for each run of rfMRI data. I’m just curious about what is recommended way to combine each run of data (e.g., rfMRI_REST1_AP, rfMRI_REST1_PA, …, rfMRI_REST4_AP, rfMRI_REST4_PA). Can we just temporally concatenate each run of data before running ICA+FIX? Or can we do group ICA using each data processed with ICA+FIX? What is the optimal way to do combining analysis across each run? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
