Step 0 Download Data: BOLD5000

Link to download the data: https://figshare.com/articles/BOLD5000/6459449

Please note: only "Unfiltered" data were used.

step 0.1.unzip

step 0.2.convert dcm to nii.gz

from nipype.interfaces.dcm2nii import Dcm2niix
converter = Dcm2niix()
converter.inputs.source_dir = os.path.abspath(dcm_files_in_a_folder)
converter.inputs.output_dir = new_output_directory # must create before running converter
converter.inputs.bids_format = True
converter.inputs.single_file = True
converter.inputs.crop = False
print(converter.cmdline)
converter.run()

Step 1.Preprocessing Pipeline - functional scans

step 1.1.motion correction, susan smoothing etc. Details of the pipeline, click here.
