If the analysis ## Parameters ## When performing a fNIRS analysis, these parameters are some of the most important settings and it is crucial that they are correct for the study that is being performed. FLARES exposes most of the parameters needed for an analysis allowing for immense customizability. These parameters have been broken down into subcategories in an attempt to keep them simple. These parameters are also shown in the order that they will be applied, and logical values have been applied by default.

Once the file/files are loaded, ensure that the per-file and global parameters are correct for the study. Once you are satisfied with the parameters, click the "Process" button to start processing the files. This processing step will take some time, however you can validate progression visually by looking at the progress bars of the files in the [Loaded Files](https://git.research.dezeeuw.ca/tyler/flares/wiki/Home#loaded-files) area. @@ -184,7 +188,7 @@ Calculates the coefficient of variance of the participant.

This quality metric identifies outliers based on how much their signal swings compared to all other channels. If the entire channel averaged does not remain under the threshold value, then the channel will be marked as a bad channel. **Parameters:**
