Data Processing Assistant for Resting-State fMRI (DPARSF) is a convenient plug-in software based on SPM and REST. You just need to arrange your DICOM files, and click a few buttons to set parameters, DPARSF will then give all the preprocessed (slice timing, realign, normalize, smooth) data, functional connectivity, ReHo, ALFF/fALFF, degree centrality, voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) results. DPARSF can also create a report for excluding subjects with excessive head motion and generate a set of pictures for easily checking the effect of normalization. You can use DPARSF to extract ROI time courses efficiently if you want to perform small-world analysis. DPARSF basic edition is very easy to use while DPARSF advanced edition (alias: DPARSFA) is much more flexible and powerful. DPARSFA can parallel the computation for each subject, and can be used to reorient your images interactively or define regions of interest interactively. You can skip or combine the processing steps in DPARSF advanced edition freely. Please download a MULTIMEDIA COURSE to know more about how to use this software.
Add DPARSF's directory to MATLAB's path and enter "DPARSF" or "DPARSFA" in the command window to enjoy DPARSF basic edition or advanced edition.

New features of DPARSF_V2.3_130615:1. Apply downloaded reorient matrices. Given the amount of time and effort for interactive reorienting, the reorient matrices for online data such as 1000 Functional Connectomes Project (FCP) (Biswal et al., 2010) and Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) (Di Martino et al., 2013) could be downloaded and applied automatically. Please find here for “DownloadedReorientMats”.2. Save information of TR, Slice Number, Time Points and Voxel Size into TRInfo.tsv (under working directory) file for checking data correctness.3. The slice order type could be specified for each participant into SliceOrderInfo.tsv (under working directory) file, thus allow different slice timing correction for different participants in a batch mode. Please find instructions for setting SliceOrderInfo.tsv from {DPARSF}/Docs/SliceOrderInfo.tsv_Instruction.txt.4. The output format of DICOM to NIfTI were changed to 4D .nii images.5. The midline of VMHC results were set to zero.Biswal, B.B., Mennes, M., Zuo, X.N., Gohel, S., Kelly, C., Smith, S.M., Beckmann, C.F., Adelstein, J.S., Buckner, R.L., Colcombe, S., Dogonowski, A.M., Ernst, M., Fair, D., Hampson, M., Hoptman, M.J., Hyde, J.S., Kiviniemi, V.J., Kotter, R., Li, S.J., Lin, C.P., Lowe, M.J., Mackay, C., Madden, D.J., Madsen, K.H., Margulies, D.S., Mayberg, H.S., McMahon, K., Monk, C.S., Mostofsky, S.H., Nagel, B.J., Pekar, J.J., Peltier, S.J., Petersen, S.E., Riedl, V., Rombouts, S.A., Rypma, B., Schlaggar, B.L., Schmidt, S., Seidler, R.D., G, J.S., Sorg, C., Teng, G.J., Veijola, J., Villringer, A., Walter, M., Wang, L., Weng, X.C., Whitfield-Gabrieli, S., Williamson, P., Windischberger, C., Zang, Y.F., Zhang, H.Y., Castellanos, F.X., Milham, M.P., 2010.

New features of DPARSF_V2.2_130309:
1. Advanced Edition: Fixed a bug in "Smooth by DARTEL" caused in previous revision (DPARSF_V2.2_130214). (Thanks for the report of Maki Koyama).
New features of DPARSF_V2.2_130303:
1. Advanced Edition: Fixed a bug in processing of multiple sessions - only process the last session in normalization and smooth.
2. Basic Edition: Fixed a bug caused in the previous release (V2.2_130214) - cannot load the correct masks (Thanks for the report of YANG Tao).
New features of DPARSF_V2.2_130214:
1. This release fixed some minor bugs, will not affect any data analysis. The bugs appear in uncommon parameter settings and stop the processing in the worst cases.
2. Updated the DPARSFVersion information in the template parameter files.
3. DPARSF basic edition will also output the results of ReHo/ALFF/fALFF after Z-standardization (subtract the whole brain mean and divide by the whole brain standard deviation).
3. Fixed a bug in nuisance covariates regression when CovMat is not defined.
4. Fixed a bug that can not save the ROI signals in text file if the data is not in double format. (Thanks for the report by H. Baetschmann)
5. Fixed a bug in creating mean functional image for 4D files. (Thanks for the report and revision by S. Orsolini)
6. Fixed a bug in displaying ROI Templates in linux system. (Thanks for the report by Han Zhang)
New features of DPARSF_V2.2_121225:
1. Support parallel computing! If you installed the MATLAB parallel computing toolbox, you can set the number of "Parallel Workers", DPARSFA will distribute the subjects into different CPU cores.
2. In addressing head motion concerns in resting-state fMRI analyses (Power et al., 2012; Satterthwaite et al., 2012b; Van Dijk et al., 2012), we provide Friston 24-parameter correction as well as voxel-specific head motion calculation and correction (Satterthwaite et al., 2012a; Yan et al., 2012). DPARSF also calculate the voxel-specific mean framewise displacement (FD) and volume-level mean FD (Power) (Power et al., 2012) or FD (Jenkinson) (i.e., relative RMS; Jenkinson et al., 2002) for accounting head motion at group-level analysis. The data scrubbing approach is also supported with different methods: 1) model each bad time point as a separate regressor in nuisance covariates regression, 2) delete bad time points, 3) interpolate bad time points with nearest neighbor, linear or cubic spline interpolation.
3. According to (Weissenbacher et al., 2009), the nuisance covariate regression could be performed before filtering and at very early stage. Users can also choose Template Parameters: TRADITIONAL order to have the same order as the previous version.
4. Support .nii.gz in all the steps. No longer need to convert 4D .nii.gz into 3D .img/.hdr. Simply put .nii.gz under FunImg or any starting directory name, DPARSFA will handle the .nii.gz by itself.
5. If the Number of Time Points is set to 0, then DPARSFA will not check the number of time points.
6. If TR is set to 0, then DPARSFA will retrieve the TR information from the NIfTI images. Please ensure the TR information in NIfTI images are correct!
7. If Slice Number is set to 0, then retrieve the slice number from the NIfTI images. The slice order is then assumed as interleaved scanning: [1:2:SliceNumber, 2:2:SliceNumber]. The reference slice is set to the slice acquired at the middle time point, i.e., ceil(SliceNumber/2). SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS!!!
8. Support calculating resting-state fMRI metrics in native space and warping by DARTEL. The mask files and/or region of interest (ROI) files in standard space are warped into native space by using the parameters estimated in segmentation or DARTEL.
9. Spatial normalization and smooth can be performed on the calculated resting-state fMRI derivatives.
10. Supporting extracting ROI time course using masks with multiple labels. More template ROI definitions are supported: Dosenbach’s 160 functional ROIs (Dosenbach et al., 2010), Andrews-Hanna’s default mode network ROIs (Andrews-Hanna et al., 2010), Craddock’s clustering ROIs (Craddock et al., 2011), AAL atlas and Harvard-Oxford atlas.
11. More resting-state fMRI metrics are included, e.g., voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) (Zuo et al., 2010), Degree Centrality (Buckner et al., 2009) and connectome-wide association studies based on multivariate distance matrix regression (Shehzad et al., 2011).
12. For VMHC analyses, support normalizing the data further to a symmetric template. 1) Get the T1 images in MNI space (e.g., wco*.img or wco*.nii under T1ImgNewSegment or T1ImgSegment) for each subject, and then create a mean T1 image template (averaged across all the subjects). 2) Create a symmetric T1 template by averaging the mean T1 template (created in Step 1) with it's flipped version (flipped over x axis). 3) Normalize the T1 image in MNI space (e.g., wco*.img or wco*.nii under T1ImgNewSegment or T1ImgSegment) for each subject to the symmetric T1 template (created in Step 2), and apply the transformations to the functional data (which have been normalized to MNI space beforehand). Please see a reference from Zuo et al., 2010.
13. A group analyses function was added as y_GroupAnalysis_Image by scripting call. T tests or F tests could be performed for a given set of regressors.
14. Template Parameters:
Calculate in Original Space (warp by DARTEL)
Calculate in Original Space (warp by information from unified segmentation)
Calculate in MNI Space (warp by DARTEL)
Calculate in MNI Space (warp by information from unified segmentation)
Calculate in MNI Space: TRADITIONAL order [This is the order used in DPARSF basie edition as well as DPARSFA V2.1]

New features of DPARSF_V2.1_120101:
For DPARSFA (Advanced Edition):
1. Support .nii and .nii.gz 3D or 4D files. For 4D .nii(.gz) functional files, use Checkbox "4D Fun .nii(.gz) to 3D" to convert into 3D files. For T1 3D .nii.gz files, use Checkbox "Unzip T1 .gz" to unzip. Use Checkbox "Crop T1" to Reorient to the nearest orthogonal direction to "canonical space" and remove excess air surrounding the individual as well as parts of the neck below the cerebellum (MRIcroN's dcm2nii).
2. Normalize by DARTEL has been added. Details: (1) "T1 Coreg to Fun": the individual structural T1 image is coregistered to the mean functional image after motion correction. (2) "New Segment + DARTEL": New Segment -- The transformed structural image is then segmented into gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid by using "New Segment" in SPM8. (3) "New Segment + DARTEL": DARTEL -- Create Template, and DARTEL -- Normalize to MNI space (Many Subjects) for GM, WM, CSF and T1 Images (unmodulated, modulated and smoothed [8 8 8] kernel versions). (4) "Normalize by DARTEL": DARTEL Normalize to MNI space (Few Subjects) for functional images. (5) "Smooth by DARTEL": DARTEL Normalize to MNI space (Few Subjects) for functinal images but with smooth kernel as specified, the smoothing is part of the normalisation to MNI space computes these average intensities from the original data, rather than the warped versions.
3. Reorient functional images and reorient T1 images interactively before coregistration: Checkbox "Reorient Fun*" and Checkbox "Reorient T1*". Interactively reorienting the anatomic images and functional images so that the origin approximated the anterior commissure and the orientation approximated MNI space, this will improve the accuracy in coregistration and segmentation. This step could probably solve the bad normalization problem for some subjects in "normalized by unified segmentation" or "normalized by DARTEL".
4. Multiple functional sessions supported. The directory should be named as FunRaw (or FunImg) for the first session; S2_FunRaw (or S2_FunImg) for the second session; and S3_FunRaw (or S3_FunImg) for the third session... In "Realign", "the sessions are first realigned to each other, by aligning the first scan from each session to the first scan of the first session. Then the images within each session are aligned to the first image of the session." (from SPM Manual).
5. Fixed a bug for calculation error in the second (and 3rd, 4th, ...) subjects in "Calculate in Original Space (Warp by information in unified segmentation)".
6. The calculations of ALFF and fALFF are promoted before filtering. Fixed a previous bug of calculating fALFF after filtering in the previous version of DPARSFA.
7. Mac OS compatible.
8. Template Parameters in DPARSFA:
8.1. Standard Steps: Normalized by DARTEL
8.2. Standard Steps: Normalized by DARTEL (Start from .nii.gz files)
8.3. Standard Steps: Normalized by T1 image unified segmentation
8.4. Calculate in Original Space (Warp by information in unified segmentation)
8.5. Intraoperative Processing
8.6. VBM (New Segment and DARTEL)
8.7. VBM (unified segmentaition)
8.8. Blank
For DPARSF (Basic Edition)
1. Normalize by DARTEL has been added. By checking "Normalized by using.. DARTEL", the processing details are the same as in DPARSFA: (1) "T1 Coreg to Fun": the individual structural T1 image is coregistered to the mean functional image after motion correction. (2) "New Segment + DARTEL": New Segment -- The transformed structural image is then segmented into gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid by using "New Segment" in SPM8. (3) "New Segment + DARTEL": DARTEL -- Create Template, and DARTEL -- Normalize to MNI space (Many Subjects) for GM, WM, CSF and T1 Images (unmodulated, modulated and smoothed [8 8 8] kernel versions). (4) "Normalize by DARTEL": DARTEL Normalize to MNI space (Few Subjects) for functional images. (5) "Smooth by DARTEL": DARTEL Normalize to MNI space (Few Subjects) for functinal images but with smooth kernel as specified, the smoothing is part of the normalisation to MNI space computes these average intensities from the original data, rather than the warped versions.
Hope to finish a video course for the new features in soon.
New features of DPARSF_V2.0_110505:
1. Fixed an error in the future MATLAB version in "[pathstr, name, ext, versn] = fileparts...".
New features of DPARSF_V2.0_101025:
1. DPARSF advanced edition (alias: DPARSFA) is added with the following new features:
1.1. The processing steps can be freely skipped or combined.
1.2. The processing can be start with any Starting Directory Name.
1.3. Support ReHo, ALFF/fALFF and Functional Connectivity calculation in individual space.
1.4. The masks or ROI files would be resampled automatically if the dimension mismatched the functional images.
1.5. The masks or ROI files in standard space can be warped into individual space by using the parameters estimated in unified segmentaion.
1.6. Support VBM analysis by checking "Segment" only.
1.7. Support reorientation interactively if the images in a bad orientation.
1.8. Support define regions of interest interactively based on the participant's T1 image in individual space.
2. DPARSF basic edition is preserved with the same operation style with DPARSF V1.0. DPARSF basic edition has the following new features:
2.1. Fixed a bug in copying "*.ps" files.
2.2. Will not check "wra*" prefix in "FunImgNormalized" directory.
2.3. Fixed a bug while regress out head motion parameters only.
The multimedia course for DPARSF advanced edition is estimated to be released in this November, thanks for your patience.
New features of DPARSF_V1.0_100510:
1. Added a right-click menu to delete all the participants' ID.
2. Fixed a bug in converting DICOM files to NIfTI in Windows 7, thanks to Prof. Chris Rorden's new dcm2nii.
3. Now will detect if co* T1 image (T1 image which is reoriented to the nearest orthogonal direction to 'canonical space' and removed excess air surrounding the individual as well as parts of the neck below the cerebellum) exists before normalization by using T1 image unified segmentation. T1 image without 'co' is also allowed in the analysis now.
New features of DPARSF_V1.0_100420:
1. After extracting ROI time courses, not just functional connectivity will be calculated, but also transform the r values to z values by Fisher's z transformation.
2. Fixed a bug in generating pictures for checking normalization when the bounding box is not [-90 -126 -72;90 90 108].
New features of DPARSF_V1.0_100201:
1. Save the configuration parameters automatically.
2. Fixed the bug in converting DICOM files to NIfTI files when DPARSF stored under C:\Program Files\Matlab\Toolbox.
3. Fixed the bug in converting DICOM files to NIfTI files when the filename without extension.
New features of DPARSF_V1.0_091215:
1. Also can regress out other kind of covariates other than head motion parameters, Global mean signal, White matter signal and Cerebrospinal fluid signal.
New features of DPARSF_V1.0_091201:
1. Added an option to choose different Affine Regularisation in Segmentation: East Asian brains (eastern) or European brains (mni). The interpretation of this option from SPM is: “If you can approximately align your images prior to running Segment, then this will increase the robustness of segmentation. Another thing that may help would be to change the regularisation of the initial affine registration, via Segment->Custom->Affine Regularisation. If you set this to "ICBM space template - East Asian brains (or European brains)", then the algorithm will make use of knowledge about the approximate variability to expect among the width/length etc of the brains of the population.” “The prior probability distribution for affine registration of East-Asian brains to MNI space was derived from 65 seg_inv_sn.mat files from Singapore. The distribution of affine transforms of European brains was estimated from: Incorporating Prior Knowledge into Image Registration NeuroImage, Volume 6, Issue 4, November 1997, Pages 344-352 J. Ashburner, P. Neelin, D. L. Collins, A. Evans, K. Friston.”
2. Added a Utility: change the Prefix of Images since DPARSF need some special prefixes in some cases. For example, if you do not have T1 DICOM files and your T1 NIFTI files are not initiated with “co”, then you can use this utility to add the “co” prefix to let DPARSF perform normalization based on segmentation of T1 images.
3. Added a popup menu to delete selected subject by right click.
4. Added a checkbox for removing first time points.
5. Added a function to close wait bar when program finished.
New features of DPARSF_V1.0Beta_091001:
