<DIV> I used ditstudio to produce FA, and then used a VBA method to find a decreased FA brain region in my paper, but the referee asked a question, i don't know what it mean( the contents in yellow), who can tell me. thank you very much! </DIV>

Maybe due to reduced movement artifact (coorelated with BDI)? Is it possible that simple filtering followed by VBA is more sensitive to such an artifact than TBSS would have been? <SPAN style="BACKGROUND: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow">Is this effect filter frequency dependent?"</SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
