Dear Bellec, Dear all,

 According to the explanation in NIAK web page (http://niak.simexp-lab.org/pipe_basc.htm...) and C-PAC web page (http://fcp-indi.github.io/docs/user/basc...), BASC is also useful to conduct clustering analysis and compare stability between groups even in small brain region (e.g. thalami or striatum).

 Although I cannot find the 'Manuel Garcia-Garcia, Brian Cheung, Adriana Di Martino, Pierre Bellec, Clare Kelly, F. Xavier Castellanos, Michael Milham. Stability of Functional Connectivity networks in the Basal Ganglia in ADHD. Poster. 2012' from the link on C-PAC web page (I guess it was available in the past), how can we optimize or validate the initial settings of some parameters in BASC below:
 * region growing threshold: In my understanding, this parameter have quite impact on the estimation of stability of clusters, especially when our region of interest is relatively small.
 * CBB: Is th length of temporal block (h) always the square root of the total number of time points (T) with some random deviation? Or do we have to set it up?
 * grid scales: How can we optimize or validate this parameter?

If possible, please share the poster itself or settings in 'Manuel Garcia-Garcia, Brian Cheung, Adriana Di Martino, Pierre Bellec, Clare Kelly, F. Xavier Castellanos, Michael Milham. Stability of Functional Connectivity networks in the Basal Ganglia in ADHD. Poster. 2012', or give me some suggestions.

Best,
 Yuki
