Synopsis
SpinalCompCor is a denoising technique in which principal component (PC) analysis is performed in a region outside of the spinal cord to define nuisance regressors. Temporal SNR was greater when PC regressors were included in the general linear model, compared to when they were regressed out of the data prior to motion correction. In comparing models that vary the number of PC regressors, models with multiple PCs generally performed better than those with single PCs. SpinalCompCor is a promising technique for spinal cord fMRI denoising.
