CATO v3.2.2

Notable changes

• Add pipeline add-on for COMMIT streamline filtering (#30).
• Add compatibility for complex vox2ras matrices (#33).
• Improve error messages (#29 and #32).

Full Changelog: v3.2.1...v3.2.2

CATO v3.2.1

Notable changes

• Fixes fMRI bandpass filter artefacts at the beginning and end of the filtered rs-fMRI time series.

Full Changelog: v3.2.0...v3.2.1

CATO v3.2.0

Notable changes

• Introduces a test framework for continuous integration.
• Lets users specify the functional connectivity measure (e.g. Pearson correlations or Pearson partial correlations).
• Preprocessing scripts are now compatible with FreeSurfer version 7.
• Removes dependencies on FreeSurfer and FSL in the MATLAB functions. FreeSurfer and FSL are now only used in the preprocessing and parcellation scripts that are provided by the user.
• Fixes various bugs (e.g. in the readTrk function, the iRESTORE threshold assistant).
• Improves various features (e.g. error handling and the check on the toolboxes installed in MATLAB).

CATO v3.1.2

Original release date: 28 May 2021

Notable changes

• Fixes minor issue that MATLAB utilized all available computational threads, which is undesirable when running multiple instances of CATO in parallel. This minor patch introduces the parameter maxNumberCompThreads (default = 1) that lets the user set the maximum number of used computational threads.

CATO v3.1.1

Original release date: 22 March 2021

Notable changes

• Fixes minor issue that caused in some configurations a “non-existent field” error. This is a minor patch does not affect any MRI processing. This error can also be fixed by adding a variable that specifies the lutFile in the collect_region_properties step in the configuration file:

"collect_region_properties":{
        "lutFile": "TEMPLATESDIR/TEMPLATE/TEMPLATE.annot.ctab"
}

CATO v3.1.0

Original release date: 16 March 2021

Notable changes

• Memory usage is reduced in the diffusion reconstruction step when correcting for gradient nonlinearities.
• Fixes an issue with the lausanne parcellations that nodes are incorrectly ordered and labeled. This issue affected only version 3.0 and the lausanne120, lausanne250 and lausanne500 parcellations (the Desikan-Killiany, aparc, parcellation is not affected).
• Fiber tracker seeds are now better distributed and compatible with high-quality DWI data.
• The CSD and DTI diffusion reconstruction methods are further improved to give better diffusion profile reconstructions.

CATO v3.0.0

First public release of CATO.
