Realtime fMRI - Tracking Motion

Introduction:

  1. The realtime software is capable of tracking head motion during a functional MRI scan.  The motion parameters will be displayed on the screen while the fMRI scan progresses, allowing researchers to make informed decisions about the quality of the data being acquired and whether a rescan is necessary due to excessive motion.  
  2. The software was originally developed by Jerzy Bodurka at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research.  It is written in perl and utilizes the afni real time plugin and the Dimon command.
