Hello, 

Forgive the naive question, but I am relative and absolute mean displacements of resting state data as corrected by the HCP pipeline. I am assuming these files below contain this information; however, I was wondering the pipeline generates or is capable of generating, a graphic report. MCFLIRT was indicated in our script: MCType="MCFLIRT."

No we don’t have a graphic report.  I’ve found computing DVARS after sICA+FIX cleanup to be a good way to identify and quantify motion that strongly influences the image intensities.

Also, the Movement*txt files that don’t end with “mean” contain the actual time series for the run, which you can plot using your preferred plotting tool.

Okay! Sounds good. Just curious, is there web guide for computing DVARS that includes recommend cut offs?

There are publications (e.g. from Jonathan Power) that describe the implementation.  Something like abs(DVARS)-median(DVARS) of 11-15 is good for identifying motion epochs.

Dear Matt,

I found your answer regarding DVARS cut-off values, but it was not clear to me what you meant by "abs(DVARS)-median(DVARS) of 11-15" ?  
Instead of horizontal threshold, abs(DVARS)-median(DVARS) results in a time-course which is far below the DVARS values.
Do you have a reference to Jonathan Power's publication ?

Thank you,
Vadim

You would apply the threshold of 11-15 to that computed timeseries.

Thanks, Matt. 
Do you have a reference to cite? I think citing a forum's answer might not be liked by a reviewer... :)

I don’t think we have published the specific evidence for the threshold I suggested.  You can choose to use it or not.

Note that “baseline” DVARs is highly influenced by image SNR. 

 

Here’s a paper for a principled scaling of DVARS, if you want to look into using it:

Yes, thank you.
The "standard" DVARS calculation is indeed very dataset specific. 
I first tried to apply the Power's 0.005% threshold to HCP, but it did not work for whatever scaling I tried...
