automatic analysis (aa)

It is possible to specify Subjects, Sessions and Events based on a text file. Required options in aap.acq_details.input (see also aap_parameters_defaults_CBSU.xml):

• list: text file:
  • Required format:
    • CSV-file: cells are separated with semicolon
    • subcells are separated with “_”
    • a header in the first line
  • Required columns (may contain more):
    • “ID”: numbers for identifying subjects
    • “FMRI1”: cells for the fMRI measurement; it must contain the same number of subcells as the coresponding column header
    • first subcell is the CBU volunteer number (without “CBU”)
    • series numbers are defined in the consecutive subcells with the same order as their names in the coresponding column header
  • E.g.:
    

    ID	Age	Sex	FMRI1_Loc_Con_LDeasy_LDhard
    02	29	f	90952_7_6_4_5

    As “pure” text:
    ID;Age;Sex;FMRI1_Loc_Con_LDeasy_LDhard
    02;29;f;90952_7_6_4_5

• selected_sessions: subselection of a subset of series:
  E.g. (based on the example above): [3 4] –> LDeasy and LDhard
• referencedirectory_tmpl: a template for path to the folder containing Event files (.mat files in SPM-format)
  • Required format:
    • must contain “*” which will be substituted with ID (see above)
      E.g.: ‘/imaging/ta02/ActionWords/Analysis/E-Prime/DAW*/ref’
  • The folder should contain the regressor(s) in SPM format (.mat file) with filename format:
    condition_vol_ ID–Session Name.mat.
    E.g. (based on the example above): condition_vol_2-LDeasy.mat
• Then you add these lines to your UMS (based on the example above):

aap.acq_details.input.list='/imaging/ta02/ActionWords/Analysis/Subject_List_Test.csv';
aap.acq_details.input.selected_sessions = [3 4];
aap.acq_details.input.referencedirectory_tmpl = '/imaging/ta02/ActionWords/Analysis/E-Prime/DAW*/ref';
aap = aas_processinput(aap);
