Applying and Inverting Transformations [on mask]

笛里谁知壮士心，沙头空照征人骨。这篇文章主要讲述Applying and Inverting Transformations [on mask]相关的知识，希望能为你提供帮助。

the story starts from a question...

If we were interested in the functional signal in (for example) the amygdala within the fMRI data in a particular subject, which space would we transform a standard mask of the amygdala into for further processing?

The structural space - we want to make sure we get the most accurate signal from the data, and this is when the image is in structural space

The distortion-corrected functional space - we do our task analysis in functional space, once it has been corrected for distortions

The native functional space - we do our task analysis in functional space, without any registrations applied

the correct answer is no.2. but how come?

0.1. get familiar with transformation files

highres2standard.mat
highres2standard_warp.nii.gz
...

0.2 three main spaces in a FEAT analysis

functional (represented by example_func);
structural (represented by highres);
MNI (represented by standard)

1. Creating an example mask [in MNI space] [from existing Atlases]

fsleyes -std &

......gui acts
2. Inverting a transform [to get std2highres_warp)

invwarp -w highres2standard_warp -o standard2highres_warp -r highres

3. Applying a transformation

applywarp -i LeftHippMask -r example_func -o LeftHippMaskFunc -w standard2highres_warp --postmat=highres2example_func.mat

4. Thresholding the Mask [now in func space] [to make it binary]
4.1 to choose 1)0.9, tighter; 2)0.5, of similar size/volume as before; 3)0.1, ok to include neighbouring stuctures.
