I have downloaded the raw data that you have suggested and I tried many techniques unsuccessfully (filtering, smoothing, normalizing, ... etc) to try to transform the data into the signal that I have observed in the scene 4 data. I have included 4 files below to show the difference between the HCP pilot processing vs the raw data and vs my own processing. I believe that this signal (HCP pilot) is probably closer to the true signal that we are interested in, because it seems like the dynamics of the spatio-temporal pattern has normalized correctly over the entire brain, resulting in a smooth signal that transitions from one region to another. The raw signal (MSMAII in this case but ICA+fix is very similar) is not normalized across the brain space and shows most of the activity clustered around regions that inherently have more activity. Normalizing and filtering results in a signal that looks similar to the HCP pilot, but contains large amounts of spatial noise that is not seen in the HCP pilot data. I believe that probably the HCP pilot has been spatially filtered but I am not sure. I tried projecting the data into the 300 ICA components as well, and then reconstructing the signal from these components to clean the signal and it results in the fourth file which looks interesting but does not have the smooth dynamics seen from the pilot data. I think that someone has done an amazing job in post-processing the HCP pilot data and their work is a great interest for the scientific community. The last few weeks I have attempted to guess what has been done to the signal and try to apply it myself but this is not getting me very far. If you have any documentation about the pilot study or the code that generated the processing for the HCP pilot data I would be incredibly grateful since I am struggling to reproduce its results. For my present work, I am trying to extend the spatial functional connectivity maps into a temporal domain. For this I need very smooth signals both spatially as well as temporally and the HCP pilot data gives me promising results in decomposing the dynamics. Thanks so much for all the help you have already provided and appologize for the long email, Cheers Amrit On Wed, Jul 27, 2016 at 9:46 AM, Glasser, Matthew <glass...@wustl.edu> wrote: > ICA+FIX for all usecases, but otherwise it depends on what you are doing. > > > Peace, > > > Matt. > ------------------------------ > *From:* Amrit Kashyap <amrit...@gmail.com> > *Sent:* Wednesday, July 27, 2016 8:20:51 AM > *To:* Glasser, Matthew > *Cc:* Elam, Jennifer; hcp-users@humanconnectome.org > > *Subject:* Re: [HCP-Users] Workbench Tutorial Data > > Awesome, thanks a bunch I will try it out.
