[Homer-users] hmrIntensity2OD: possible at later processing stage?

[Moulton, Theresa (NIH/CC/RMD) [F]]

Janny,

>From my understanding, you can use the ProcessStreamGUI (in the Tools menu) to very easily alter the functions you are calling, and the order in which they are called.  Once open, click Load, then you can select either your current processing stream or a saved one. The processing stream can then be altered, added to or taken away from. This was covered in one of the trainings, although I can't remember if it is one that was archived. I would also look into the filtering/artifact rejection techniques you are using to make sure there are no assumptions about which signal they are being done on (intensity vs OD), or what the input to the function is required to be.

Best of luck,
Theresa

Dear all,

I have the impression that the conversion from raw data to optical density (hmrIntensity2OD) cannot be done after artifact rejection, but only before. Did I get that correctly? And is there a way to change the order? Point is that the conversion takes the average of the whole data file, and if the data contains partly a lot of noise (we had our nirs system record data also during breaks and so), this noise affects the conversion process. Therefore I'd rather first apply artifact rejection and then convert the data to optical density. Not sure how to though?

Best,
Janny
