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

If you're doing whole brain correlation and correlating the average from a seed region with the whole brain, you should observe almost perfect correlation between the seed timeseries and the region in the brain from which the seed timeseries was extracted.

Do the correlations make sense based on your groups and hypotheses?

The absence of negative correlations may be due to the absence of a global regressor in the 3dDeconvolve command. There is debate in the literature as to whether it's inclusion is a good idea or not. You should have a look at the following papers. (You should be able to find Ziad's paper in the message at the top of this message board.)
