nilearn.maskers.MultiNiftiLabelsMasker#

class nilearn.maskers.MultiNiftiLabelsMasker(labels_img, labels=None, background_label=0, mask_img=None, smoothing_fwhm=None, standardize=False, standardize_confounds=True, high_variance_confounds=False, detrend=False, low_pass=None, high_pass=None, t_r=None, dtype=None, resampling_target='data', memory=Memory(location=None), memory_level=1, verbose=0, strategy='mean', reports=True, n_jobs=1)[source]#

Class for masking of Niimg-like objects. MultiNiftiLabelsMasker is useful when data from non-overlapping volumes and from different subjects should be extracted (contrary to nilearn.maskers.NiftiLabelsMasker).

Parameters
labels_imgNiimg-like object

See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation. Region definitions, as one image of labels.

labelslist of str, optional

Full labels corresponding to the labels image. This is used to improve reporting quality if provided.

Warning

The labels must be consistent with the label values provided through labels_img.

background_labelint or float, optional

Label used in labels_img to represent background. Warning: This value must be consistent with label values and image provided. Default=0.

mask_imgNiimg-like object, optional

See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation. Mask to apply to regions before extracting signals.

smoothing_fwhmfloat, optional.

If smoothing_fwhm is not None, it gives the full-width at half maximum in millimeters of the spatial smoothing to apply to the signal.

standardize{‘zscore’, ‘psc’, True, False}, optional

Strategy to standardize the signal.

  • ‘zscore’: the signal is z-scored. Timeseries are shifted to zero mean and scaled to unit variance.

  • ‘psc’: Timeseries are shifted to zero mean value and scaled to percent signal change (as compared to original mean signal).

  • True : the signal is z-scored. Timeseries are shifted to zero mean and scaled to unit variance.

  • False : Do not standardize the data.

Default=False.

standardize_confoundsbool, optional

If set to True, the confounds are z-scored: their mean is put to 0 and their variance to 1 in the time dimension. Default=True.

high_variance_confoundsbool, optional

If True, high variance confounds are computed on provided image with nilearn.image.high_variance_confounds and default parameters and regressed out. Default=False.

detrendbool, optional

Whether to detrend signals or not.

low_passfloat or None, optional

Low cutoff frequency in Hertz. If specified, signals above this frequency will be filtered out. If None, no low-pass filtering will be performed. Default=None.

high_passfloat, optional

High cutoff frequency in Hertz. If specified, signals below this frequency will be filtered out. Default=None.

t_rfloat or None, optional

Repetition time, in seconds (sampling period). Set to None if not provided. Default=None.

dtype{dtype, “auto”}

Data type toward which the data should be converted. If “auto”, the data will be converted to int32 if dtype is discrete and float32 if it is continuous.

resampling_target{“data”, “labels”, None}, optional.

Gives which image gives the final shape/size:

  • “data” means the atlas is resampled to the shape of the data if needed

  • “labels” means en mask_img and images provided to fit() are resampled to the shape and affine of maps_img

  • None means no resampling: if shapes and affines do not match, a ValueError is raised

Default=”data”.

memoryinstance of joblib.Memory, str, or pathlib.Path

Used to cache the masking process. By default, no caching is done. If a str is given, it is the path to the caching directory.

memory_levelint, optional.

Rough estimator of the amount of memory used by caching. Higher value means more memory for caching. Zero means no caching. Default=0.

n_jobsint, optional.

The number of CPUs to use to do the computation. -1 means ‘all CPUs’. Default=1.

verboseint, optional

Verbosity level (0 means no message). Default=0.

strategystr, optional

The name of a valid function to reduce the region with. Must be one of: sum, mean, median, minimum, maximum, variance, standard_deviation. Default=’mean’.

reportsbool, optional

If set to True, data is saved in order to produce a report. Default=True.

Returns
region_signals: list of 2Dobj:numpy.ndarray

List of signals for each label per subject. shape: list of (number of scans, number of labels)

fit(imgs=None, y=None)[source]#

Prepare signal extraction from regions.

All parameters are unused, they are for scikit-learn compatibility.

fit_transform(imgs, confounds=None, sample_mask=None)[source]#

Prepare and perform signal extraction from regions.

Parameters
imgs3D/4D Niimg-like object

See Input and output: neuroimaging data representation. Images to process. If a 3D niimg is provided, a singleton dimension will be added to the output to represent the single scan in the niimg.

confoundsCSV file or array-like or pandas.DataFrame, optional

This parameter is passed to signal.clean. Please see the related documentation for details. shape: (number of scans, number of confounds)

sample_maskAny type compatible with numpy-array indexing, optional

shape: (number of scans - number of volumes removed, ) Masks the niimgs along time/fourth dimension to perform scrubbing (remove volumes with high motion) and/or non-steady-state volumes. This parameter is passed to signal.clean.

inverse_transform(signals)[source]#

Compute voxel signals from region signals

Parameters
signals1D/2D numpy.ndarray

Signal for each region. If a 1D array is provided, then the shape should be (number of elements,), and a 3D img will be returned. If a 2D array is provided, then the shape should be (number of scans, number of elements), and a 4D img will be returned.
