Unified ICA-SPM Analysis of fMRI Experiments - Implementation of an ICA Graphical user Interface for the SPM Pipeline

چکیده
We present a toolbox for exploratory analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data using independent component analysis (ICA) within the widely used SPM analysis pipeline. The toolbox enables dimensional reduction using principal component analysis, ICA using several different ICA algorithms, selection of the number of components using the Bayesian information criterion (BIC), visualization of ICA components, and extraction of components for subsequent analysis using the standard general linear model. We demonstrate how the toolbox is capable of identifying activity and nuisance effects in fMRI data from a

Improving the Performance of ICA Algorithm for fMRI Simulated Data Analysis Using Temporal and Spatial Filters in the Preprocessing Phase
Introduction: The accuracy of analyzing Functional MRI (fMRI) data is usually decreases in the presence of noise and artifact sources. A common solution in for analyzing fMRI data having high noise is to use suitable preprocessing methods with the aim of data denoising. Some effects of preprocessing methods on the parametric methods such as general linear model (GLM) have previously been evalua...
متن کاملfMRI activation in a visual-perception task: network of areas detected using the general linear model and independent components analysis.
The Motor-Free Visual Perception Test, revised (MVPT-R), provides a measure of visual perceptual processing. It involves different cognitive elements including visual discrimination, spatial relationships, and mental rotation. We adapted the MVPT-R to an event-related functional MRI (fMRI) environment to investigate the brain regions involved in the interrelation of these cognitive elements. Tw...
متن کاملDMP Summer Research Internship Final Report
I have been worked on two similarity measure techniques for fMRI images. One is SPM-based, which measure the similarity of Statistical Parametric Maps of the fMRI images, the other one is ICA-based, which measure the similarity of the voxels based on the Independent Component Analysis. In the SPMbased tool, I have implemented two image grouping techniques, graph-theory clustering and Replicator...
متن کاملEEG and MEG Data Analysis in SPM8
SPM is a free and open source software written in MATLAB (The MathWorks, Inc.). In addition to standard M/EEG preprocessing, we presently offer three main analysis tools: (i) statistical analysis of scalp-maps, time-frequency images, and volumetric 3D source reconstruction images based on the general linear model, with correction for multiple comparisons using random field theory; (ii) Bayesian...
متن کاملA Toolbox for Model-Free Analysis of fMRI Data
We introduce Model-free Toolbox (MFBOX), a Matlab toolbox for analyzing multivariate data sets in an explorative fashion. Its main focus lies on the analysis of functional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data sets with various model-free or data-driven techniques. In this context, it can also be used as plugin for SPM5, a popular tool in regression-based fMRI analysis. The toolbox inc...
