nilearn.glm.first_level.FirstLevelModel#

class nilearn.glm.first_level.FirstLevelModel(t_r=None, slice_time_ref=0.0, hrf_model='glover', drift_model='cosine', high_pass=0.01, drift_order=1, fir_delays=[0], min_onset=-24, mask_img=None, target_affine=None, target_shape=None, smoothing_fwhm=None, memory=Memory(location=None), memory_level=1, standardize=False, signal_scaling=0, noise_model='ar1', verbose=0, n_jobs=1, minimize_memory=True, subject_label=None, random_state=None)[source]#

Implement the General Linear Model for single run fMRI data.

Parameters:

t_rfloat

This parameter indicates repetition times of the experimental runs. In seconds. It is necessary to correctly consider times in the design matrix. This parameter is also passed to nilearn.signal.clean. Please see the related documentation for details.

slice_time_reffloat, default=0

This parameter indicates the time of the reference slice used in the slice timing preprocessing step of the experimental runs. It is expressed as a fraction of the t_r (repetition time), so it can have values between 0. and 1.

hrf_modelstr, function, list of functions, or None

This parameter defines the HRF model to be used. It can be a string if you are passing the name of a model implemented in Nilearn. Valid names are:

“spm”: This is the HRF model used in SPM. See nilearn.glm.first_level.spm_hrf.

“spm + derivative”: SPM model plus its time derivative. This gives 2 regressors. See nilearn.glm.first_level.spm_hrf, and nilearn.glm.first_level.spm_time_derivative.

“spm + derivative + dispersion”: Idem, plus dispersion derivative. This gives 3 regressors. See nilearn.glm.first_level.spm_hrf, nilearn.glm.first_level.spm_time_derivative, and nilearn.glm.first_level.spm_dispersion_derivative.

“glover”: This corresponds to the Glover HRF. See nilearn.glm.first_level.glover_hrf.

“glover + derivative”: The Glover HRF + time derivative. This gives 2 regressors. See nilearn.glm.first_level.glover_hrf, and nilearn.glm.first_level.glover_time_derivative.

“glover”+ derivative + dispersion”: Idem, plus dispersion derivative. This gives 3 regressors. See nilearn.glm.first_level.glover_hrf, nilearn.glm.first_level.glover_time_derivative, and nilearn.glm.first_level.glover_dispersion_derivative.

“fir”: Finite impulse response basis. This is a set of delayed dirac models.

It can also be a custom model. In this case, a function should be provided for each regressor. Each function should behave as the other models implemented within Nilearn. That is, it should take both t_r and oversampling as inputs and return a sample numpy array of appropriate shape.

Note

It is expected that “spm” standard and “glover” models would not yield large differences in most cases.

Note

In case of “glover” and “spm” models, the derived regressors are orthogonalized with respect to the main one.

Default=’glover’.

drift_modelstring, default=’cosine’

This parameter specifies the desired drift model for the design matrices. It can be ‘polynomial’, ‘cosine’ or None.

high_passfloat, default=0.01

This parameter specifies the cut frequency of the high-pass filter in Hz for the design matrices. Used only if drift_model is ‘cosine’.

drift_orderint, default=1

This parameter specifies the order of the drift model (in case it is polynomial) for the design matrices.

fir_delaysarray of shape(n_onsets) or list, default=[0]

In case of FIR design, yields the array of delays used in the FIR model, in scans.

min_onsetfloat, default=-24

This parameter specifies the minimal onset relative to the design (in seconds). Events that start before (slice_time_ref * t_r + min_onset) are not considered.

mask_imgNiimg-like, NiftiMasker object or False, optional

Mask to be used on data. If an instance of masker is passed, then its mask will be used. If no mask is given, it will be computed automatically by a NiftiMasker with default parameters. If False is given then the data will not be masked.

target_affine3x3 or 4x4 matrix, optional

This parameter is passed to nilearn.image.resample_img. Please see the related documentation for details.

target_shape3-tuple of integers, optional

This parameter is passed to nilearn.image.resample_img. Please see the related documentation for details.

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.

memorystring or pathlib.Path, optional

Path to the directory used to cache the masking process and the glm fit. By default, no caching is done. Creates instance of joblib.Memory.

memory_levelinteger, optional

Rough estimator of the amount of memory used by caching. Higher value means more memory for caching.

standardizeboolean, default=False

If standardize is True, the time-series are centered and normed: their variance is put to 1 in the time dimension.

signal_scalingFalse, int or (int, int), default=0

If not False, fMRI signals are scaled to the mean value of scaling_axis given, which can be 0, 1 or (0, 1). 0 refers to mean scaling each voxel with respect to time, 1 refers to mean scaling each time point with respect to all voxels & (0, 1) refers to scaling with respect to voxels and time, which is known as grand mean scaling. Incompatible with standardize (standardize=False is enforced when signal_scaling is not False).

noise_model{‘ar1’, ‘ols’}, default=’ar1’

The temporal variance model.

verboseinteger, default=0

Indicate the level of verbosity. By default, nothing is printed. If 0 prints nothing. If 1 prints progress by computation of each run. If 2 prints timing details of masker and GLM. If 3 prints masker computation details.

n_jobsinteger, default=1

The number of CPUs to use to do the computation. -1 means ‘all CPUs’, -2 ‘all CPUs but one’, and so on.

minimize_memoryboolean, default=True

Gets rid of some variables on the model fit results that are not necessary for contrast computation and would only be useful for further inspection of model details. This has an important impact on memory consumption.

subject_labelstring, optional

This id will be used to identify a FirstLevelModel when passed to a SecondLevelModel object.

random_stateint or numpy.random.RandomState, default=None.

Random state seed to sklearn.cluster.KMeans for autoregressive models of order at least 2 (‘ar(N)’ with n >= 2).

eventspandas Dataframe or string or list of pandas DataFrames or strings, default=None: fMRI events used to build design matrices. One events object expected per run_img. Ignored in case designs is not None. If string, then a path to a csv file is expected.
confoundspandas Dataframe, numpy array or string or list of pandas DataFrames, numpy arrays or strings, default=None: Each column in a DataFrame corresponds to a confound variable to be included in the regression model of the respective run_img. The number of rows must match the number of volumes in the respective run_img. Ignored in case designs is not None. If string, then a path to a csv file is expected.
sample_masksarray_like, or list of array_like, default=None: shape of array: (number of scans - number of volumes remove) Indices of retained volumes. Masks the niimgs along time/fourth dimension to perform scrubbing (remove volumes with high motion) and/or remove non-steady-state volumes.

Request metadata passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.
False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to fit.
None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.
str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

New in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:
