Hi,

I would like to follow up on this topic because I would like to do something similar to Harris. I have preprocessed my rsfMRI images with fmriprep with ICA AROMA and I am now considering to regress out WM and CSF (possibly along with GSR) and perform bandpass filtering before moving onto higher level analysis. As recommended by Lindquist et al. (2018), I would prefer to perform these steps in once. Note that the images resulting from ICA AROMA are already smoothed.

In this case, would it be appropriate to perform the denoise step directly in CONN, instead of using for example 3dTproject? I have not tried yet, but I assume that there must be a way to import the preprocessed images and the confounds.tsv from fmriprep and specify which ones to include.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

Thank you
