Group-Level Analysis of ALFF, ReHo, and FC (XCP-D Output) - Surface-Based Data

Hello everyone,

I have processed my resting-state fMRI data using XCP-D, and now I want to perform group-level statistical analysis on the surface-based outputs (ALFF, ReHo, and FC).

The output is in fsLR32k space, and I’m especially interested in identifying statistical differences between groups.

My questions:

  1. What are the recommended tools for surface-based group analysis of ALFF, ReHo, and FC maps?
  2. Should the Pearson correlation FC maps be Fisher z-transformed before analysis?
  3. Are there any tutorials or pipelines available for group-level analysis using BrainStat or PALM with these outputs?

Thank you in advance for your help!
