Dear users,

I have recently read that you should never temporally concatenate without first 
demeaning the individual timeseries, posted by Stephen Smith?

(http://www.mail-archive.com/hcp-users@humanconnectome.org/msg00444.html). I 
want to know if I should either A) demean the individual time series, 
concatenate, and THEN variannce normalize or B) demean, variance normalize and 
then concatenate?


The code available includes demeaning and variance normalization run together:


> wb_command -cifti-reduce <input> MEAN mean.dtseries.nii
> wb_command -cifti-reduce <input> STDEV stdev.dtseries.nii
> wb_command -cifti-math '(x - mean) / stdev' -fixnan 0 -var x <input> -var
> mean mean.dtseries.nii -select 1 1 -repeat -var stdev stdev.dtseries.nii
> -select 1 1 -repeat


If it is the case that I should demean, concatenate and then variance 
normalize, would somebody be kind enough to update the command above.



Many thanks,


Kris
