- CPAC.alff.alff.create_alff(wf_name='alff_workflow')[source]¶
Calculate Amplitude of low frequency oscillations (ALFF) and fractional ALFF maps.
- Parameters:
wf_name (
string) – Workflow name- Returns:
alff_workflow – ALFF workflow
- Return type:
workflow object
Notes
Workflow Inputs:
hp_input.hp : list of float high pass frequencies lp_input.lp : list of float low pass frequencies inputspec.rest_res : string Path to existing Nifti file. Nuisance signal regressed functional image. inputspec.rest_mask : string Path to existing Nifti file. A mask volume(derived by dilating the motion corrected functional volume) in native space
Workflow Outputs:
outputspec.alff_img : string Path to Nifti file. Image containing the sum of the amplitudes in the low frequency band outputspec.falff_img : string Path to Nifti file. Image containing the sum of the amplitudes in the low frequency band divided by the amplitude of the total frequency outputspec.alff_Z_img : string Path to Nifti file. Image containing Normalized ALFF Z scores across full brain in native space outputspec.falff_Z_img : string Path to Nifti file. Image containing Normalized fALFF Z scores across full brain in native space
Order of Commands:
- Filter the input file rest file( slice-time, motion corrected and nuisance regressed) ::
- 3dBandpass -prefix residual_filtered.nii.gz
0.009 0.08 residual.nii.gz
- Calculate ALFF by taking the standard deviation of the filtered file ::
- 3dTstat -stdev
-mask rest_mask.nii.gz -prefix residual_filtered_3dT.nii.gz residual_filtered.nii.gz
- Calculate the standard deviation of the unfiltered file ::
- 3dTstat -stdev
-mask rest_mask.nii.gz -prefix residual_3dT.nii.gz residual.nii.gz
- Calculate fALFF ::
- 3dcalc -a rest_mask.nii.gz
-b residual_filtered_3dT.nii.gz -c residual_3dT.nii.gz -expr ‘(1.0*bool(a))*((1.0*b)/(1.0*c))’ -float
