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

Hi AFNI experts,

I am performing a voxel-wise correlation between values of activation beta and a behavioral measurement.

I usually do this with 3dfim++, which gives a sub-dataset of "Correlation". For visualization of this result, I put the "Correlation" as the threshold control (Thr), then I can move the slide bar up and down to see correlation maps at different p threshold.

Now, I am performing the same voxel-wise correlation with 3dDeconvolve -rout; because some of the behavioral measures are missing for some subjects and I am handling this situation by using the -CENSOR option. However, the output is R^2 now instead of a regular correlation coef (R). For visualization, the R^2 can also be used for thresholding in this case, but I am wondering if the p value based on R^2 is equivalent to that as if I had used 3dfim's "Correlation". If not, how should I convert the p of R^2 to match the p of R. Should I simply take the squre root and use that for thresholding?
