Hi,
I used proc.py with m_tedana to preprocess my 3T ME data, and encountered an artifact for one of the runs (attached).
I tried converting again the dicom files into afni files, and noticed some errors:
*+ WARNING: Slice-based center is different from mosaic center
*+ WARNING: Origin computation of obliquity may be incorrect
Mosaic Center : -9.25262 -18.9084 2.79301

You should inspect the dataset for possible corruption.
[Outliers are defined as in program 3dToutcount. ]
[Outliers early in an EPI time series may be due to ]
[the longitudinal magnetization equilibration effect.]
[Other causes are subject movement, scanner problems,]
[or anything that makes a time series look irregular.]
[ 3dToutcount -save outnam dataset | 1dplot -stdin ]
[can be used to make a dataset 'outnam' that marks ]
[outlier voxels; see 3dToutcount -help for details. ]
Do you know what causes this artifact, and how can I solve it?
Thank you,
Maya
