Quality Control Using the visual inspection step within DPARSF, subjects showing severe head motion in the T1 image and subjects showing extremely poor coverage in the functional images, as well as subjects showing bad registration were excluded Subjects with overlap with the group mask (voxels present at least 90% of the participants) less than 2*SD under the group mean overlap (threshold: 92.2%) were excluded Subjects with motion (Mean FD Jenkinson greater than 2*SD above the group mean motion (threshold: 0.192) were excluded Yan et al., 2013, Neuroimage 45
