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,

I am still new to AFNI, but I think that I should ask about the scale for the display on the AFNI viewer. So, I have a display viewer viewing my functional images overlaid on the anatomical images. I have checked and my t-statistics range from -4.65 to 5.35. However, the "OLay" runs from -7.64777 to 7.485167. Interestingly, this is also what 3dInfo on the file says.


$ 3dinfo Imag-2sided-robust-segment-0.99.nii.gz 
++ 3dinfo: AFNI version=AFNI_16.1.01 (Apr  7 2016) [64-bit]

Dataset File:    Imag-2sided-robust-segment-0.99.nii.gz
Identifier Code: XYZ_PqdNsEpVZ7Wpf_pU0Tkywg  Creation Date: Fri Apr 10 15:42:50 2015
Template Space:  TT_N27
Dataset Type:    Func-Bucket (-fbuc)
Byte Order:      LSB_FIRST {assumed} [this CPU native = LSB_FIRST]
Storage Mode:    NIFTI
Storage Space:   435,160 (435 thousand [kilo]) bytes
Geometry String: "MATRIX(3.5,0,0,-78.75,0,3.5,0,-79.5,0,0,3.5,-63.5):46,55,43"
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:   -78.750 [R] -to-    78.750 [L] -step-     3.500 mm [ 46 voxels]
A-to-P extent:   -79.500 [A] -to-   109.500 [P] -step-     3.500 mm [ 55 voxels]
I-to-S extent:   -63.500  -to-    83.500 [S] -step-     3.500 mm [ 43 voxels]
Number of values stored at each pixel = 1
  -- At sub-brick #0 'stim_times.1D#0_Tstat' datum type is float:     -7.64777 to       7.48517
     statcode = fitt;  statpar = 95

I can live with this for now. However, the display scale for the overlaid image has a top value of 1.000 (at the top) and -1.000 (at the bottom).

There is an autoRange which reads: autoRange: 7.64777 (a check box for the autoRange), checking which has some effect on the actual overlaid image as per the display. However, I am unclear as to what it actually does. There is also a check box for a % after that "autoRange:". Checking this has the effect of change the values of the p=.

Could someone please either point to documentation or give a summary of what exactly is going on here and how I should interpret (and manipulate) these displays?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
