Thanks for the quick responses. Figure 2 of that paper also answers my other question. Best, Ariel On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 1:56 PM, Xu, Junqian wrote: > Ariel, > > We recommend people to use these calculated b-values (including > cross-terms) instead of the input b-values. This was explained e

Ariel, We recommend people to use these calculated b-values (including cross-terms) instead of the input b-values. This was explained explicitly at page 137, 2nd paragraph in http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23702418 "Small b value variations due to the cross-terms between diffusion and imag

Yes you should take the bvalues in the bvals files literately.  The actual average bvalue applied varies because of interactions between the imaging and diffusion gradients (cross-terms).   If you use FSL, you can deal with the bvalue/bvector gradient deviations with existing code.  If not, ne

Hello everyone, First of all, thanks for all the hard work on putting this data-set together. I have been looking at some of the diffusion data and it's been a good experience so far. I have a question concerning the encoding of b values in this data set. Nominally, data was collected in 3 differ

For the resting state data this was addressed previously: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0015710 Additional discussions of the benefits of multi-band imaging appear in: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811913005065 http://www.science

[HCP-Users] Why multiband data?

2013-08-05 Thread Kelly Smith
Dear HCP-users, I have a question about the resting state and task-evoked fMRI data collected through the HCP. Why did you choose to only collect multiband EPI data? As far as I know, no validation studies have been performed to verify that these new multiband sequences yield similar results com

Hi Paula, Thanks for raising these important questions about when various types of "advanced" HCP datasets will be released. We apologize for the delayed response, but internal discussions were needed in order to clarify the HCP's general game plan on this front. The current Q2 HCP data re
