Abstract:Functional MRI (fMRI) data are subject to artifacts arising from a myriad of sources, including subject head motion, respiration, heartbeat, scanner drift, and thermal noise. These artifacts cause deviations from common distributional assumptions, introduce spatial and temporal outliers, and reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the data-all of which can have negative consequences on the accuracy and power of statistical analyses. Scrubbing is a technique for excluding fMRI volumes thought to be contaminated by … Show more
