Software package distribution of slicewise motion correction tool (SLOMOCO) for fMRI pre-processing

Motivation: Slicewise motion correction software tool (SLOMOCO) for fMRI pre-processing. Goal(s): Public announcement of SLOMOCO software package distribution and its demonstration with a sample data. Approach: New version of SLOMOCO algorithm and its pipeline were published in a recent paper. The corresponding software package is now announced in public. The software requires AFNI and Python installation. Results: The usage of SLOMOCO is demonstrated with the included sample data. The included motion indices provide the quality assurance of fMRI data. Impact: The SLOMOCO software is publicly available. We demonstrate its usage, and the performance is validated with 10 different inter-/intra-volume motion corrupted MR datasets using ex-vivo brain.
