Manual-Intervention Workflow Directives

-prep

Process steps 1.1 -1.6 (see below)

-bedp

Process step 2

-path

Process step 3

Processing Stages

==== Preprocessing === 1.1 Image corrections - Eddy current correction with eddy_correct, B0 field map correction with epidewarp.fsl.

-corr

to do this step (Default)

-nocorr

to skip this step

1.2 Intra-Subject Registration - Diffusion-to-T1 registration with flirt and/or bbregister.

-intra

to do this step (Default)

-nointra

to skip this step

1.3 Inter-Subject Registration - T1-to-template registration using MNI and/or CVS templates.

-inter

to do this step (Default)

-nointer

to skip this step

1.4 White-matter, cortical and whole-brain masks - Generate masks of the white matter and cortex from FreeSurfer outputs, whole-brain masks from T1 and DWIs.

-masks

to do this step (Default)

-nomasks

to skip this step

1.5 Tensor fit - Tensor model fitting on DWIs.

-tensor

to do this step (Default)

-notensor

to skip this step

1.6 Pathway priors from atlas to T1 - Combine training data and subject's own data to generate pathway priors.

-prior

to do this step (Default)

-noprior

to skip this step

Bedpost

2. Stick and ball model fitting with bedpost (Cluster highly recommended for this step)

Path

3. Pathway reconstruction
