RE: Denoising and V2V doubts
Dear Inés,

Regarding (1), yes, both linear detrending and high-pass filtering are aimed at removing very-low-frequency effects, yet they are not redundant, high-pass filtering alone would not fully remove linear trends in the data and linear detrending would not remove other non-purely-linear low-frequency fluctuations, so applying both (as CONN does by default, together with removing of other motion, scrubbing, and White/CSF aCompCor factors) helps more thoroughly denoise your data. 

Regarding (2), yes, CONN implements Martuzzi's ICC-power measure (also referred to as ICC-p0 in the original Martuzzi's 2011 manuscript), which involves no thresholding operation.

Hope this helps
Alfonso

Dear CONN users,

Recently we received the comments of a reviewer and I am having some problems to find some information about CONN processing:

1. Linear detrending and band-pass filtering: we receive the comment that they both remove low-frequencies, but even if it is true, the regression that linear detrend does is not performed by applying a pass filter. Is that the reason why both are included in the CONN's default denoising pipeline? 

2. ICC analysis: The reviewer ask us for the correlation threshold of ICC. In Martuzzi et al., 2011 there are described two different methods (ICC-degree and ICC-power). Given that the ICC-power does not required for a previous threshold, I am guessing that is the one that CONN applies. Am I right?

Thanks in advance,

Inés
