Yes. TORTOISE does output a file that contains information about head motion i.e in the _proc_transformations.txt file. The description of this file and its contents are as follows:
_proc_transformation file: contains information about the transformations for the eddy distortion correction and the motion correction.
1st set of three columns represents the rigid portion of the transformation (in millimeters)
Column #1 > x (for axial data = RL)
Column #2 > y (for axial data = AP)
Column #3 > z (for axial data = IS)
2nd set of three columns represents the rotational (Euler angles) component of the transformation (in radians)
Column #4 > θx
Column #5 > θy
Column #6 > θz
where:
And overall rotation R= Rx Ry Rz
3rd set of three columns represents the weights of the linear affine component of the transformation (shears) (unitless)
Example: if no eddy correction is applied, and you have a horizontal phase encode direction, these values would be x=1, y,z=0
Column #7 > x
Column #8 > y
Column #9 > z
4th set of three columns represents the non-linear component of the transformation (1/millimeters)
Column #10 > xy
Column #11 > xz
Column #12 > yz
The final 2 columns represent the quadratic terms of the eddy distortion correction (1/millimeters)
Column #13 > x2 - y2
Column #14 > 2z2 - x2 - y2
