Hi Monty

This is something common, patients move more. For this reason I suggest you
do what others will and have suggested. You need to do scrubbing of the
data as a preprocessing step. You can use the ART Toolbox or fmriqa.py for
this. Or you can use fsl _motion_outliers for each subject and add the
motion outliers into the model at the first level.

Then you can compare both analysis and see if your connectivity changes
still apply. So you will have to do everything again but it is a good idea
if the data was not scrubbed from the beginning.

Kind regards

Eduardo
