The steps of the fMRIVolume Pipeline. All images undergo gradient distortion correction. Motion correction is to the single-band reference (SBRef) image. The SBRef image is used for EPI distortion correction and is registered to the T1w image. The spin echo EPI images have reversed phase encoding directions and are used to calculate deviations from the B0 field caused by susceptibility. All transformations, including the MNI space transformation are concatenated and applied to the original fMRI timeseries in a single spline interpolation step. Finally, this MNI space timeseries is masked and its intensity is normalized to a 4D global mean.
