Application of phase regression to multi-echo BOLD

[tsalo]

@CesarCaballeroGaudes @eurunuela @idevicente have any of you tried applying phase regression to multi-echo data? Asking you three because of your connections to https://github.com/idevicente/Phase-based_denoising_pipeline.

Stems from #9 and #2.

We used single-echo data for that work. I cannot remember if Iñigo tried it on multi-echo data though.

[CesarCaballeroGaudes]

We haven't tried yet, but we have collected new multi-echo data with both magnitude and phase in several projects.

The easiest thing would be to just use the echo closest to 30 ms I guess, but I wonder if there would be any benefit to either averaging the complex-valued data across echoes before running the phase regression pipeline or running the pipeline on each echo separately and then averaging the denoised magnitude data afterward.

We were chatting about this in today's tedana devs call. @CesarCaballeroGaudes I was just wondering if you'd considered multi-echo phase regression any more since we last discussed it?

[CesarCaballeroGaudes]

No, we haven't done any progress on phase regression, so far only using the phase for multi-echo thermal denoising
