Hello all, I've been using fsl_motion_outliers to remove motion peaks, and noticed that in most of my functional runs the reference functional volume is tagged as an outlier. My runs have 122 TRs, and TRs #61 and 62 are almost always being tagged as outliers, even for those runs that had minimal motion detected by McFLIRT (mean displacement peak of 0.3mm for absolute motion, for example).
Is it ok for me to include the confound EVs matrix generated by fsl_motion_outliers for all functional runs despite minimal motion detected, or am I at risk of introducing bias as TRs #61 and 62 are almost always being "removed" from further analysis?
Thanks for any insight.
