Yes, it is worth trying inceasing the dimensionality to see if that helps split the areas. > or is it possible to extract timecourses of > individual areas within this particular spatial map(i.e without > averaging > the time courses or in other words can i look at average time course > in a > particular area using an ROI,like in fslmeants or featquery) Yes, for such a hypothesis-driven analysis you should run FEAT and then Featquery to ask about the differentiation, (as well as seeing what MELODIC gives).
