| Below is an outline list of the areas of theory involved in functional imaging, and related documents that may help. Unfortunately some of these sources are difficult, but in my experience, all of them repay a slow reread, even if you think you understood almost nothing first time round. There is a bias towards SPM, but the same principles usually apply to other imaging packages. | Below is an outline list of the areas of theory involved in functional imaging, and related documents that may help.

Principles of analysis
The aim of these pages is to introduce the theory behind different processing stages. If you're interested in the practicalities of how to do an analysis, you might want the [:AnalysisSoftware:software] page instead.

Introduction to imaging
Basic checks
Check for CommonArtefacts
Run DataDiagnostics - this is done by most [:aa:AutomaticAnalysisIntroduction] recipes if you choose to use this path
If you are unfortunate enough to find bad data, consider whether to RemoveBadScans
Typical pre-processing stages
These are the stages typical to most analyses
[:SliceTiming:Slice timing] - correcting for the fact that different slices in the brain are acquired at different times
[:FmBackground:Undistort EPIs using field maps] - usually no longer necessary on data from the Siemens scanner
[:MotionCorrection:Motion correction] - correcting for subject movement through an fMRI scan, sometimes called realignment
Statistics
