nilearn.maskers.NiftiLabelsMasker#

class nilearn.maskers.NiftiLabelsMasker(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)[source]#

Class for masking of Niimg-like objects.

NiftiLabelsMasker is useful when data from non-overlapping volumes should be extracted (contrarily to nilearn.maskers.NiftiMapsMasker). Use case: Summarize brain signals from clusters that were obtained by prior K-means or Ward clustering.

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{False, True, ‘zscore’, ‘psc’}, 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 standardize_confounds is 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

This parameter is passed to signal.clean. Please see the related documentation for details. Default=False.

low_passNone or float, optional

This parameter is passed to signal.clean. Please see the related documentation for details

high_passNone or float, optional

This parameter is passed to signal.clean. Please see the related documentation for details

t_rfloat, optional

This parameter is passed to signal.clean. Please see the related documentation for details

dtype{dtype, “auto”}, optional

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. For example, if resampling_target is “data”, the atlas is resampled to the shape of the data if needed. If it is “labels” then 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”.

memoryjoblib.Memory or str, optional

Used to cache the region extraction process. By default, no caching is done. If a string is given, it is the path to the caching directory.

memory_levelint, optional

Aggressiveness of memory caching. The higher the number, the higher the number of functions that will be cached. Zero means no caching. Default=1.

verboseint, optional

Indicate the level of verbosity. By default, nothing is printed 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.

Attributes
mask_img_nibabel.nifti1.Nifti1Image

The mask of the data, or the computed one.

labels_img_nibabel.nifti1.Nifti1Image

The labels image.

n_elements_int

The number of discrete values in the mask. This is equivalent to the number of unique values in the mask image, ignoring the background value.

generate_report()[source]#
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.

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.
