Performing confound regression with NiPype or Nilearn

[Vigneshwaran_S]

I have preprocessed fMRI files using NiPype workflow and now intend to perform confound regression on them. I know FMRIPrep does it for you and gives an easy-to-handle confound.tsv. I wonder how to manually perform confound regression using NiPype or Nilearn.

I tried using nipype.algorithms.confounds module but they give only a text file. I want it in the format of FMRIPrep so that I could use it to compute functional connectomes.

Hello,

@Vigneshwaran_S

I know FMRIPrep does it for you

fMRIPrep does not perform confound regression, but does provide the confounds as you mention.

@Vigneshwaran_S

I wonder how to manually perform confound regression using NiPype or Nilearn.

Look at this tutorial which demonstrates how to use Nilearn to extract fMRIPrep confounds and denoise data.

Best,
Steven
