Version 1.7.2 Beta (Nov 10, 2020)

New Features

  • Anatomical-Based BOLD Masking. Adapted from the DCAN Labs implementation, a new BOLD masking option is now available. Users can select this method to produce a BOLD mask that is produced by transforming the anatomical brain mask to BOLD space.

Improvements

  • The motion estimate filter can now be forked, where the user can run a pipeline both with and without this processing step.

  • Template-to-native space transformations within the pipeline have been made more robust to possible mis-transformations that would sometimes occur when the template-space images did not have much anatomical contrast.

Error Fixes

  • The time series despiking step (performed by AFNI 3dDespike) is now able to be forked again.

  • An error preventing EPI field maps for blip-up/down distortion correction from being parsed into the data configuration when labeled with unconventional dir- tags has been fixed.

Coming Soon

  • Pipeline Dashboard

  • Surface-Based Processing

  • BIDS-Derivatives Compatibility

In addition, the C-PAC Docker and Singularity images, as well as the AWS AMI, have all been updated. These provide a quick way to get started.
