SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CONN Tool provides a robust interface-layer wrapper around the CONN Toolbox, orchestrating dependency checks, project setup, ROI extraction, and connectivity analyses to deliver end-to-end, auditable results.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-managed setup: verifies MATLAB, SPM, and CONN availability and generates a safe installation plan.
  • End-to-end connectivity workflows: ROI-to-ROI, seed-to-voxel, ICA networks, PPI/gPPI, and DCM analyses with a unified wrapper.
  • Reproducible reporting: summarizes connectivity matrices, statistical maps, and provides a clear path from data to publishable results.

Quick Start

Create a CONN project from preprocessed data and run ROI-based connectivity analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about conn-tool

FAQPage Schema
How do I run ROI-to-ROI and seed-to-voxel functional connectivity analyses on fMRI data?

You can run ROI-to-ROI and seed-to-voxel functional connectivity analyses on fMRI data by using a wrapper that orchestrates the CONN Toolbox within MATLAB to extract ROIs, compute connectivity, and report results.

What types of effective connectivity analyses can I perform on preprocessed fMRI data?

Effective connectivity analyses for preprocessed fMRI data include PPI, gPPI, and DCM analyses, which are executed through a CONN Toolbox wrapper to compute directional influences between brain regions.

Do I need MATLAB and SPM installed to perform CONN connectivity analyses?

Yes, you need MATLAB and SPM installed to perform CONN connectivity analyses, as the wrapper verifies these dependencies during setup and requires preprocessed fMRI data before execution.

How do I set up a CONN project from preprocessed fMRI data for ICA network analysis?

To set up a CONN project for ICA network analysis, the wrapper verifies your MATLAB, SPM, and CONN environment, establishes the project from preprocessed fMRI data, and extracts ROIs before computing connectivity.

What is the best way to ensure reproducible reporting for fMRI connectivity matrices and statistical maps?

The best way to ensure reproducible reporting for fMRI connectivity matrices and statistical maps is to use a CONN Toolbox wrapper that standardizes project setup, connectivity computation, and result summarization.

Why does my CONN connectivity workflow require explicit confirmation before execution?

Your CONN connectivity workflow requires explicit confirmation before execution to ensure safe dependency checks and validate the project setup, ROI extraction, and connectivity computation steps through the claw-shell wrapper.
