AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Yes, the third info break down was from the dataset I posted images for and was from the Z -> R "undoing" atanh step.

And yes I used the [0] subbrik as per Mr. Chen's how-to: "And if you want the correlation coefficient at group level, you can convert the z-score (sub-brick #0 in the output from the group analysis) back to r (the reverse conversion of step 9 above):.

However based on your comments I went and looked at 3dinfo for the output directly from 3dttest++

Dataset File: Ttest_R_InfCere_wbPPI_Z+tlrc
Identifier Code: XYZ_O8IJNw7drx3SkMkULo3MXA Creation Date: Mon Sep 8 19:19:23 2014
Template Space: TLRC
Dataset Type: Func-Bucket (-fbuc)
Byte Order: LSB_FIRST [this CPU native = LSB_FIRST]
Storage Mode: BRIK
Storage Space: 583,680 (584 thousand [kilo]) bytes
Geometry String: "MATRIX(4,0,0,-78,0,4,0,-79,0,0,4,-64):40,48,38"
Data Axes Tilt: Plumb
Data Axes Orientation:
first (x) = Right-to-Left
second (y) = Anterior-to-Posterior
third (z) = Inferior-to-Superior [-orient RAI]
R-to-L extent: -78.000 [R] -to- 78.000 [L] -step- 4.000 mm [ 40 voxels]
A-to-P extent: -79.000 [A] -to- 109.000 [P] -step- 4.000 mm [ 48 voxels]
I-to-S extent: -64.000 -to- 84.000 [S] -step- 4.000 mm [ 38 voxels]
Number of values stored at each pixel = 2
-- At sub-brick #0 'SetA_mean' datum type is float: -0.0541237 to 0.0569921
-- At sub-brick #1 'SetA_Tstat' datum type is float: -4.18336 to 4.23997
statcode = fitt; statpar = 13


From this I think the trick is to do the conversion step on the Tstat or subrik[1] in order to start look at statistical significance, correct? Or would I not specify and thus encorporate both for ease of use?

If that is the case then if I wanted to get a PPI correlation value (my "context dependent R" I think you'd say) between my seed region and a predifined ROI how would I find it? Cluster report and localization, or Masking off the ROI from the A_Mean subbrik? Could I do the same for Tstat for significance?

So much help, thank you rick.
