fmcpr.mcdat are the motion estimates (mm and degrees). mcprextreg is the motion correction parameters after analysis using a PCA, which is why there is such a huge difference. By default we use the top 4 components. doug On 5/28/13 8:28 PM, Joseph Dien wrote: I have a follow-up question for

Hi Doug, Can you point out the name of file that I should be looking at? I assumed they were either the mcextreg and mcprextreg output files, but these only have 6 columns. Thanks, New Fei > Hi New Fei, I did some digging and found the docs for the output (pasted > below). Translations (displac

Hi New Fei, I did some digging and found the docs for the output (pasted below). Translations (displacement) are in mm, rotations are in degrees doug 1. n : time point 2. roll : rotation about the I-S axis (degrees CCW) 3. pitch : rotation about the R-L axis (degrees CCW) 4. ya

If by XYZ you mean column, row, slice, then yes. The values are with respect to the middle time point (or whatever you used as the template), it is not the relative difference. doug On 09/12/2012 05:37 PM, New Fei Ho wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to compare the mean head motion between two group

[Freesurfer] head motion values

2012-09-12 Thread New Fei Ho
Hi, I would like to compare the mean head motion between two groups. Just to clarify the values found in the mcprextreg file: 1. Do the six columns represent translationX, translationY, translationZ and rotationX, rotationY, rotationZ? 2. Are the values found in each time-point (i) absolute, i.e
