While resting-state fMRI is drawing more and more attention, there has not been a software for its data analysis. Based on MATLAB, we developed a package named REST. Currently REST has three main functions: function connectivity, ReHo and ALFF.
VTC file is the file format of the Brainvoyager. The fMRI matchine scan human s brain and get the vtc data. This toolbox can help you to read the vtc file into matlab.
ICA can be used in brain activation studies to reduce the number of dimension and filter out independent and interesting activations. This demonstration shows two studies. One provided by Hvidovre Universitets Hospital, Denmark, that consists of fMRI scannings of humans. Another provided by the EU sponsored MAPAWAMO project from fMRI scannings of monkeys. In the demo comparison between icaMS, icaML, icaMF, icaMF (positive sources) and PCA can be made. More detailes can found in [2].
