All standard tensor analysis use a glm, they just don't often call it that. The design matrix are columns formed from the cross products of the gradients (of which there are 6) plus a column of 1s, and the log() of the input data is taken before the glm. After that, it's just a glm.

Hi Douglas,
Thanks for the reply. can i get a link to a publication or
report that describes the GLM analysis applied to tensors?

    It will probably be the case that it just gives the entire volume
    (the "masking" routine just looks for 0-valued voxels). I don't
    think it actually uses the mask for anything, though.

    glmfit is run because that's what the tensor analysis is.

        Hi everyone,
                          I have recently started using the dt_recon
        processing pipeline
        in freesurfer. I just ran a dataset through it, and had a few
        questions about
        the methodology
        1) How does the script calculate the mask from the DW data
        set. Is there any way
        to influence the mask calculation routine? I am familiar with
        bet/bet2 and i have
        an set of parameters tuned to my dataset. within dt_recon, i
        get the entire volume
        as a mask, while fsl generated a nice inclusive mask. Is there
        any way i can use
        the bet generated mask with dt_recon?
        2) why is a glm fit done at the end of the processing stage?

        best regards,
        sid.
