The HCP has received requests for slice-timing parameters for the HCP fMRI data and, therefore, we are providing this information with some background as to why the HCP functional preprocessing pipeline does not include apply slice-timing correction as part of its functional preprocessing (see Smith et al. "Resting-state fMRI in the Human Connectome Project" NeuroImage, vol. 80, pp. 144-168, Oct. 2013 and Glasser et al. “The minimal preprocessing pipelines for the Human Connectome Project” Neuroimage, vol. 80, pp. 105–124, Oct. 2013).
