Name
Partial Least Squares GUI for PET, fMRI & EEG/MEG
Byline
Rotman Res Inst - Baycrest Centre, Univ of Toronto
Description
Partial Least Squares (PLS) is a multivariate analysis tool that can be applied to neuroimaging data. The analytical focus is to determine which aspects of the signal in one matrix (e.g., imaging data) are related directly to signals in another matrix (e.g., experimental design, behaviour). It can be applied to spatial and spatiotemporal data, and has been used to identify task-dependent changes in activity, changes in the relations between brain activity and behaviour, and to examine functional connectivity of one or more brain regions. PLS has similarities to Canonical Correlation in its general configuration, but is much more flexible and robust.
This GUI is the first major release of PLS for neuroimaging. The GUI has been in development for some time, and although this version appears stable, there are always things that can be improved. A command-line application is also included for users with special imaging datasets (e.g., ROI analysis). We are also planning several enhancements, such as univariate testing of means and correlations, advanced plotting routines and higher-order analyses. Please check our website regularly to see if there are updates.
NIfTI-1 support
PLSgui now supports NIFTI data format. This includes file extension support for both single file (.nii) and dual file (.img/.hdr); temporal dimension support (4th dimension in the data); and data value scaling support (Y = scl_slope * X + scl_inter). It also supports some of the sform or qform affine transforms. This includes any scaling (to get voxel_size), any translation (to get origin), any flipping, and small Rotations (only N*90 degrees, where N must be integer).
