Intro

There are several parameters in DRIFTER that need to be optimized. 

Approach

Data: motion corrected data from one resting state and one task fMRI (Valsalva gives strong signal changes)

Sydney: use data in Z:\Analysis\Paul\DRIFTER\Testing

Software: DRIFTER as in the CSPM/SPM12 files (this has the correction for empty first slices). Use the batch job template on the parent page.

Analysis: 1) run drifter with the following settings, 2) create a couple of VOI for each series, 3) show timetrends of the VOI for each setting in each seriesAfter initial testing, we've decided the following:

  • Cardiac harmonics: 1 (default)
  • Respiraatory harmonics: 1 (default)
  • Overall transition probability: 0 (default)
  • Markov chain transition probability: 0.01 (default)

What we are now looking at is cardiac and respiraotry separately, and respiratory frequencies 8-25 br/min (as opposed to the initial 6-35 br/min).
