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:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

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

Thank you for helping me understand some of the differences between FSL and AFNI and giving me the recommended way of using AFNI in this context. For clarity, the actual changes I am making to my code is switching from 3dBandpass to 3dTProject, and changing the polort option in 3dDeconvolve to 0 since I'm already bandpassing. However, I'm not exactly sure how I am supposed to implement the following sentence in my code: "The closest analogy to FSL that I would recommend in AFNI would be to eschew the polynomial regressors in AFNI and instead put in trigonometric regressors to pick up the low frequencies you want filtered out, and let the linear regression + pre-whitening model do it all at once." So by eschewing polynomial regressors you mean to change the polort option to 0, correct? But I do not understand how to put in trigonometric regressors to pick up the low frequencies. Is that what 3dTProject accomplishes?

Again, thank you for advising me. My new 3dDeconvolve command is this:
