        and then the first one is applied to the base volume, the second to
        the source volume. A negative blur radius means to use 3D median
        filtering, rather than Gaussian blurring. This type of filtering
        will better preserve edges, which can be important in alignment.

Retroicor

Link to code

Wraps command 3dretroicor

Performs Retrospective Image Correction for physiological motion effects, using a slightly modified version of the RETROICOR algorithm

The durations of the physiological inputs are assumed to equal the duration of the dataset. Any constant sampling rate may be used, but 40 Hz seems to be acceptable. This program’s cardiac peak detection algorithm is rather simplistic, so you might try using the scanner’s cardiac gating output (transform it to a spike wave if necessary).

This program uses slice timing information embedded in the dataset to estimate the proper cardiac/respiratory phase for each slice. It makes sense to run this program before any program that may destroy the slice timings (e.g. 3dvolreg for motion correction).

For complete details, see the 3dretroicor Documentation.
