Granger Causality Mapping

The "Granger Causality Mapping (GCM) plugin" is now available, which creates maps of directed influences (effective connectivity).

For details of the implemented approach, see Roebroeck, Formisano & Goebel (2005, Neuroimage, 25, 230-242). Running the plugin results in "GCM" component maps, which can be loaded and visualized by calling the "Overlay Granger Causality Maps" dialog.

Cluster Threshold Estimator

The "ClusterThresh plugin" provides a method for the correction of multiple comparisons using cluster-size thresholding. It complements the existing methods in BrainVoyager QX for the correction of multiple comparions (Bonferroni, FDR) exploiting the assumption that areas of activity tend to stimulate signal changes over contiguous groups of voxels.

Example plugin

Presents 3 options:

1. Converts the intensity values of a VMR.

2. Changes values in "TEST_LVF.vmp"

3. Creates "10-on 10-off" time course in the middle of current VTC.

Independent Component Analysis

This Plugin accesses the linked VTC and performs volume-based ICA or cortex-based ICA (if a surface-based mask file is supplied). Model order selection (eigenfilter) is performed and fastICA deflation is applied. Rank-ordering of components is based on protocol reference functions if RTC is supplied. The sICA maps are saved in a separate GLM.

BOLD Latency mapping

BOLD Latency Maps : ONSET (piece-wise linear fitting, 3 break-points). Access to linked VTC in three approaches:

 

1. Use VOI file and perform VOI-based mapping.

2. Use VOI file and perform voxel-based mapping.

3. Use overlaid VMP (e.g. main effects) and perform voxel-based mapping.

File info plugin

This plugin displays file header information on the BrainVoyager QX Log tab and/or writes the header information to a text file. Works for the file formats *.fmr, *.vmr, *.amr, *.vtc, *.mtc, *.map, *.vmp, *.smp, *.glm, *.srf, *.nii and *.hdr/*.img.

Author: Hester Breman, Brain Innovation

Note: reads "old" file format, not glm and vmp versions 3
