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=\fIVERBOSE\fR, \fB\-\-verbosity\fR=\fIVERBOSE\fR Verbosity level of output .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=\fISUBJ\fR Subject ID used as output path .TP \fB\-e\fR EXFUNC, \fB\-\-example\-func\-vol\fR=\fIEXFUNC\fR Volume (numeric ID or 'last', 'first', 'middle') to be used as an example functional image. Default: 10 .TP \fB\-m\fR MCFLIRT_OPTS, \fB\-\-mcflirt\-options\fR=\fIMCFLIRT_OPTS\fR Options for MCFLIRT. '\-plots' is auto\-added .TP \fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-mcflirt\-plots\fR Create a .pdf with plots of motion parameters .TP \fB\-b\fR BET_OPTS, \fB\-\-bet\-options\fR=\fIBET_OPTS\fR Options for BET. '\-m' is auto\-added. Default: '\-f 0.3' for a safe guess of the brain outline
