In reading paper on dual-regression, authors don't typically say whether or not the subject data is variance-normalized or not.
What is your recommendation for the subject's fMRI data input into dual-regression: variance-normalized or demeaned or another option?I understand that in FSL, the variance-normalization option is applied to the subject-specific timecourses from Stage 1
, before the Stage 2 model, but the question about the subject's fMRI data is a separate question.Best Regards,Donald McLaren, PhD
