Yes, in DiffPreprocPipeline_PostEddy.sh you’ll need to use 
“--combine-data-flag=2”

Also, I want to caution you about collecting only half of the total dMRI data 
that we collected in the UMN Lifespan piloting.  There is a reason that we 
collected a full 20 min of dMRI when using 1.5 mm resolution.  Before you 
collect less total data (at that same spatial resolution), I would run some 
piloting to check if reducing the amount of data is sufficient to generate good 
quality for your measures of interest.

cheers,
-MH

Yes as long as you have phase reversed b0s you can have the DWIs have unique 
directions. The HCP diffusion pipeline might need modification to accommodate 
that.

Peace,

Subject: [HCP-Users] Question about DWI protocol

Dear HCP experts,

This is Meizhen Han from Center for MRI research at Peking University in China. 
I'm writing for seeking a solution for the problem we encountered during the 
application of HCP MRI sequence on our recent research.

I noticed that HCP acquired DWI data twice with reversed phase direction in 
order to calculate the fieldmap, which I think is perfect but a little 
time-consuming especially when 2 or 3 gradient tables are used.

I'm wondering whether it is OK to acquire one phase encoding direction of one 
gradient table and reversed direction of another gradient table.
Taking Lifespan DWI protocol of UM for example, can we only get DWI_dir98_AP 
and DWI_dir99_PA, and then take out b0 images in both files to caculate 
fieldmap?

Any relevant information and idea would help a lot. Thank you very much!

Looking forward to your reply.
