Tools from the FSL suite will be used for preprocessing. It takes a 4D fMRI timeseries as input and performs the following steps: .PP \- extract an example volume .PP \- perform motion correction using the example volume as reference .PP \- conservative skull\-stripping and brain mask generation .PP \- masking of the motion\-corrected timeseries with the brain mask .PP All results will be stored either in the current directory, or in a subdirectory with the subject ID (if specified). .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-\-version\fR show program's version number and exit .TP \fB\-v\fR VERBOSE, \fB\-\-verbose\fR=\fI\,VERBOSE\/\fR, \fB\-\-verbosity\fR=\fI\,VERBOSE\/\fR Verbosity level of output [Default: 0] .TP \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-\-sos\fR Show this help message and exit .TP \fB\-s\fR SUBJ, \fB\-\-subject\-id\fR=\fI\,SUBJ\/\fR Subject ID used as output path .TP \fB\-e\fR EXFUNC, \fB\-\-example\-func\-vol\fR=\fI\,EXFUNC\/\fR Volume (numeric ID or 'last', 'first', 'middle') to be used as an example functional image.
