Hi there, I have a few questions about MELODIC outputs and proper procedures to denoise fMRI data.

1) If one uses the --Opca option when running MELODIC, what is the melodic_pcaE output file?

2) If one wanted to use fsl_regfilt to filter out principal components (rather than ICs) after running MELODIC, which matrix file should be used for the -d option? Is this given in MELODIC output, or is there a way to generate it from the output?

3) For regressing out components, is there a difference between a) using fsl_regfilt with a matrix file of all components, versus b) copying individual columns from that matrix corresponding to noise components into individual text files and then entering those as confound EVs using FEAT?

Thank you,

Aaron
