Hi HCP gurus:
I've been trying to adapt the HCP pipeline for use in our group, and having 
trouble with the tools for resting state processing. The pipeline's Example 
programs are super helpful for illustrating calls to the minimal preprocessing 
and the Task-fMRI tools. However the resting-fMRI tools are organized 
differently, with no example calling program provided. I wonder if I could get 
a few tips?
I am using pipeline version v3.22.0-beta.2, and I have so far successfully run 
pipeline modules on HCP subjects as well as our own:
PreFreesurferPipeline.sh
FreesurferPipeline.sh
PostFreesurferPipeline.sh
GenericfMRIVolumeProcessingPipeline.sh
GenericfMRISurfaceProcessingPipeline.sh
ICA-FIX
I know that after ICA-Fix I could continue with a group analysis using Dual 
Regression and FSLnets. But how to proceed if one wanted to do a seed-based 
analysis? I'm not sure I see the purpose of PostFix, ReApplyFix and 
RestingStateStats. They rely on compiled matlab code, so it is hard to figure 
out what they are actually doing.
Regardless, I tried running RestingStateStats, but it triggered an error when 
it could not find a file apparently created by MSMSulc. (I assume this is 
because I ran earlier parts of the pipeline with RegName="FS"). When I tried to 
rerun PostFreesurferPipeline.sh with RegName="MSMSulc", it seems that our 
version of the pipeline does not include an MSM binary. I have searched the HCP 
website but don't see where this binary is available.  Alternatively, if I 
download the available MSMAll, can it be used with pipeline version 3.22?
Unfortunately with all of the excellent documentation on the HCP website, there 
is a dearth of *high-level* guidance on how to proceed with resting-state 
processing. I'd be grateful for any insights...
Thanks,
Christina Fales
