### Correlations among nuisance regressors

This may also be addressed in more depth by the confounds and regressors documentation (link to page)
Can be used to diagnose partial volume effects
PVE indicated by high correlations of a confound time series (or several) with the global signal
This report presents a plot of correlations among confound regressors. The left-hand panel shows the matrix of correlations among selected confound time series as a heat-map. The right-hand panel displays the correlation of selected confound time series with the mean global signal computed across the whole brain; the regressors shown are those with greatest correlation with the global signal. These plots can be used to guide selection of a confound model or to assess the extent to which tissue-specific regressors correlate with global signal.; e.g if two regressors are highly correlated, it is recommended to include in the confound model only one of the two.

[NEEDS COMPLETION]

* Selection of a confound model
* Good:
* Carefully choose a serie of regressors that are not highly correlated to include in the confound model.
* Bad:
* Include in the confound model two regressors that are highly correlated
* Common pitfall in interpreptation:
* The CompCor components do not correlate with each other by construction. As such, a block of zero-correlation is visible near the diagonal.

* Assessement of partial volume effect
* Good:
* Bad:
* High correlation of confound time series with the global signal is an indicator of high partial volume effect.
