Preprocessing

In this section (corresponding to week 4 of the course), we will discuss on of the most elaborate topics in fMRI analysis: preprocessing. This section contains three notebooks:

• Temporal preprocessing

• Spatial preprocessing

• Fmriprep

The temporal preprocessing tutorial discusses the most common and important preprocessing steps in the time domain, such as high-pass filtering, prewhitening, and nuisance regression.

The spatial preprocessing tutorial discusses the most common and important preprocessing steps in the spatial domain, such as spatial smoothing, motion correction, and anatomical realigment/normalization.

The Fmriprep tutorial discusses the awesome Fmriprep software package for fMRI preprocessing and gives you some tips to get started with the package.
