ALFF/fALFF/ReHo using DPARSF

Hi 

I have a trouble uploading the data direcoty on DPARSF for doing some processing. Even though I watch the course, I could not get why I can not upload the direcoty and have the list of subject's folder in the assigned window. 

At this time I have all preprocessed rsfMRI data and just want to get ALFF/fALFF/ReHO stuff. 

Can you please let me know first of all if I can you DPARSF for just this purpose with not doing preprocessing and just ALFF/FALFF/ReHo stuff?

Also, can you please clarify me how I have to arrange or upload the input data directory? 

In advanve I appreciate your help.

Thanks

1. Yes, you can.

2. You need to set starting directory name to let DPARSF read the participants ID. 

I suggest you run DPARSF once with the demo data to learn the directory structure needed.

Thank you for your response. Yes, finally I could organize data in sub-direcoties and set the naming. But now I got another error during running the preprocessing as I copied here. Can you please check it and let me know how to fix this? Thank you very much

You need to learn from the course how to "reorient" the images (or skip this step). You can not directly hit "X" to close that window.

Hi Dr. Chao-Gan

Thank you for your help you have provided by the tutorial. I watched the video of the tutorial and followed your instruction and that was very helpful in my understanding to doing the steps of analysis. 

I just ran one time practice of doing alff/reho calculation using dpabi. I did the first steps, reorientation and using the first .mat file I created I tried to do other calculation but I do not know for some reason I got the error message in the middle of the process that I copied here. Can you please take a look at and help me how I should resolve this? I really appreciate it.

Working Dir should be /Users/mahdi.alizadeh/Desktop/DPABI/ other than /Users/mahdi.alizadeh/Desktop/DPABI/Funraw/

Dr. Chao

 

Thank you for the response. But I think the working directory I chose for the calculations (/Users/mahdi.alizadeh/Desktop/DPABI/Funraw) is the same as you chose 'ProcessingAfterRealignment' in your tutorial video. They both have 'FunImgAR' inside.

So, do you still think that I have to choose DPABI rather than Funraw as the main directory?

Can you please clarify me a bit more about this trick of choosing folers and .mat file for calculation after re-alignment? 

Thank you very much.

Dr. Chao

 

I could finally redo the process and get results. The issue resolved. Thank you very much for instructions.
