Analysis methods
Analysis was carried out using Probabilistic Independent Component Analysis [Beckmann 2004] as implemented in MELODIC (Multivariate Exploratory Linear Decomposition into Independent Components) Version 3.10, part of FSL (FMRIB's Software Library, www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl).
The following data pre-processing was applied to the input data: masking of non-brain voxels; voxel-wise de-meaning of the data; normalisation of the voxel-wise variance;
Pre-processed data were whitened and projected into a 25-dimensional subspace using probabilistic Principal Component Analysis where the number of dimensions was estimated using the Laplace approximation to the Bayesian evidence of the model order [Minka 2000, Beckmann 2004].
The whitened observations were decomposed into sets of vectors which describe signal variation across the temporal domain (time-courses), the session/subject domain and across the spatial domain (maps) by optimising for non-Gaussian spatial source distributions using a fixed-point iteration technique [Hyvärinen 1999]. Estimated Component maps were divided by the standard deviation of the residual noise and thresholded by fitting a mixture model to the histogram of intensity values [Beckmann 2004].
