Hi All,
I am using fMRIprep version 1.5.0rc1 to preprocess some multi-echo data and I noticed that fMRIprep automatically combines the echos. Is there a way to run the preprocessing steps without combining the echos?
Or should I use one of the earlier versions instead?
Thanks so much!

Hi @jngx47f,
If you’d like to process the echos individually, check out the --echo-idx flag !
That being said, if you’re using the individual echos to submit to e.g. tedana you might want to check out Combining fmriprep with ME-ICA from tedana
Hope that helps !

I will try that. Thank you so much!
I want to keep the echos separate to calculate realised volatility. I have a feeling I’m dealing with some particularly rough data.

Hello,
I am also working with multi echo data, (new to multi echo data and fMRIPrep - loving fMRIPrep so far, so thank you!) and I was wondering how I can check that fMRIPrep is correctly combining the echos? The .html documentation does not make any indication of this step occurring. Is fMRIPrep calling on ME-ICA to combine and, if not, how is it combing them?
*If it does not automatically combing the multi echos, is there an available option for me to flag in order to combine them?
(*I’m running fMRIPrep-1-4-1 with singularity)
*clarification: we are collecting multi band, multi echo BOLD data
fMRIPrep uses tedana for optimal combination starting in v1.1.7, I believe (per poldracklab/fmriprep#1263). You could dig into the code for t2smap_workflow if you want.
On a semi-related note, there has been a lot of discussion among the tedana and fMRIPrep folks about disabling t2s_coreg (see here). You might want to avoid using --t2s-coreg when processing your data. At least for now.
Thank you so much for your response. And thanks for the note on --t2s-coreg, we had started looking into it so this was quite helpful!
Hello,
I am new to use fMRIPrep, and I really have the same question about how to process multi echo data on fMRIPrep. What I have learnt is that first using dcm2bids to transform the raw multi echo data to BIDS, and then using fmriprep-docker to run the pipline(my PC is based on Windows).I don’t know if I understand right?
What’s more, I am not sure how to write the acquired config.json for multi echo data, since there seems no tutorials about it and I have no idea right now.
I would really appreciate it if I can get your reply! Thanks a lot!
