Dear FSL users,
I have a quick question about band-pass filtering with fslmaths. I have already preprocessed all of my resting-state fMRI data (slice-time, reallign, coreg, norm & smooth) and I want to apply a high and low-pass filter to it as well, before running analysis on it. I haven't used the fslmaths -bptf before so I am a little unsure about the calculation of the lp and hp sigma values. I thought it had to be be calculated as follows: sigma = (1/hz)/TR
And then the code would be:
"fslmaths input -bptf [hp_sigma] [lp_sigma] output"
So if I want to filter my data 0.08<f<0.009 then the calculation would be (given a TR of 1.3):
hp_sigma = (1/0.009)/1.3
lp_sigma = (1/0.08)/1.3
Now I a little confused after reading some posts related to this on the fsl archive here, where some people also seems to divide this by a factor 2.35. Which is the correct formula for the sigma values: (1/hz)/TR or ((1/hz)/2.35)/TR?
Hope one of you can give me a difinitive answer on this! Thanks in advance.
Best,
Richard
