Welcome to SBCI documentation!

Surface-Based Connectivity Integration (SBCI) is an advanced MRI post-processing pipeline that builds structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC) on the white matter surface of the brain and returns three imaging biomarkers representative of the relationships between SC and FC.

What you will need:

  1. T1w anatomical data

  2. Multi-shell dwi data

  3. Resting-state fMRI data

Before utilizing the FSL software’s pipeline, the premise is that the data have only undergone minimal preprocessing. Specifically, within this pipeline, eddy correction and susceptibility-induced distortion correction are performed.
