Fmriprep ica-aroma output incompatible with fmridenoise?

Dear all,

I preprocessed may data with fmriprep using the --use-aroma flag. I did not define a special resampling space. Nevertheless, the output of the ica-aroma is in MNI152NLin6Asym. I stumbled over this issue because I wanted run the fmridenoise pipeline on the output including the ica-aroma confounds. fmridenoise gave me an error saying “ICA-AROMA files not found in BIDS directory”. Checking the fmridenoise-code I found that it expects the aroma-output to be in the “MNI152NLin2009cAsym” space.

filter_fmri_aroma = {
        'extension': ['nii', 'nii.gz'],
        'suffix': 'bold',
        'desc': 'smoothAROMAnonaggr',
        'space': 'MNI152NLin2009cAsym'

I googled the issue and found that ica-aroma actually only works in the ‘MNI152NLin6Asym’ space (still?), so I guess it’s a bug in fmridenoise? Is it save to simply change the ‘space’-field accordingly?

Best, Marius
