Yes, it does MC then STC. This is a chronic problem that has never been solved. If you do STC first and there is significant motion, then the STC will be wrong. They really need to be done simultaneously. However, if you use an ascending or descending slice acq (instead of interleaved), then this issue mostly goes away and you can safely do MC before STC. doug

Can you tell me the order of the slice timing and motion correction steps in preproc-sess (freesurfer v 4.5)? From the wiki it looks like motion correction is done first (For MC the input will be f and the output will be fmc For STC the input will be fmc and the output will be fmcstc". However, wouldn't doing the motion correction first cause an issue? Because, otherwise, after motion correction, the slices are realigned and the timing of a slice at a particular location is no longer what it is before, correct?
Can you clarify this for me?
