FMRI Expert Analysis Tool (FEAT)¶
Library: FSL | Docker Image: brainlife/fsl
Function¶
Complete fMRI analysis pipeline combining preprocessing (motion correction, spatial smoothing, temporal filtering), first-level statistical modeling (GLM with autocorrelation correction), and higher-level group analysis.
Modality: FEAT design file (.fsf) encoding all analysis parameters including input data paths, preprocessing options, design matrix, and contrasts.
Typical Use: Complete first-level or higher-level fMRI analysis when all parameters are pre-configured in an FSF file.
Key Parameters¶
design_file (.fsf file with all configuration), input_data (4D BOLD data referenced by the .fsf)
Key Points¶
Pipeline controlled by the .fsf file. input_data must be provided separately for containerized execution (paths are rewritten at runtime). Internally runs BET, MCFLIRT, spatial smoothing, film_gls (with --con for contrast computation), registration, and optionally higher-level analysis. Outputs a .feat directory.
