How do I calculate --acqp?

Hi guys, I have the following information: 
Phase enc. dir. A >> P
Echo spacing 0.84 ms
EPI factor 84
Based on the following, does this mean that my fourth number will be 0.84*0.001*83 which means that my acqpara.txt will be:
0 -1 0 0.06972

How to do ​​TBSS on stroke/lesioned brains?
Question

  • Joselisa PaivaJoselisa Paiva
I'm processing a stroke patients dataset and I've been looking for a way to mask the lesions out during TBSS step.
However, I have 2 questions about the suggested workflow below:
- run tbss_1_preproc
- manually correct the masks within the FA directory that get created with tbss_1_preproc
- run tbss_2_reg_withmask
1)Why should I edit the output masks from tbss_1_preproc step?
2)Do I need to use the "Lesion Masking" tool in the Randomise step, even though the subjects were registered using FNIRT "--inmask" option to exclude the lesions? It seems somewhat redundant.
Thank you for your attention. Any help is highly appreciated!

Due to the nature of fMRI acquisition protocols, slices in the plane of acquisition are not acquired simultaneously or sequentially, and therefore are temporally misaligned with each other. Slice timing correction (STC) is a critical preprocessing step that corrects for this temporal misalignment. Interpolation-based STC is implemented in all major...

Echo planar imaging (EPI) is widely used in functional and diffusion-weighted MRI, but suffers from significant geometric distortions in the phase encoding direction caused by inhomogeneities in the static magnetic field (B0).
