BASCO: A Toolbox for task-related functional connectivity

Blog Article

BASCO (BetA Series COrrelation) is a user-friendly MATLAB toolbox with a graphical user interface which allows investigating functional connectivity in event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data.Connectivity analyses extend and compliment univariate activation analyses since the actual interaction between brain regions involved in a Swaddles task can be explored.BASCO supports seed-based functional connectivity as well as brain network analyses.

Although there are a multitude of advanced toolboxes for investigating resting-state functional connectivity, BASCO is the first toolbox for evaluating task-related whole-brain functional connectivity employing a large number of network nodes.Thus, BASCO allows investigating task-specific rather than Scope Mount Systems resting-state networks.Here, we summarize the main features of the toolbox and describe the methods and algorithms.
