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-

That looks like correct output with 2 ROIs. When you have N target ROIs, then every matrix will be of size 'N by N'-- in your case, 2x2.

These are like correlation matrices. Each element's coordinates tell you which targets' connections are being described.
So, for the mean FA matrix for example, you have
FA_{11} FA_{12}
FA_{21} FA_{22}
where 'FA_{12}' is the mean FA value in tracked regions that connect targets 1 and 2; the diagonal elements only have a single element, because they are like the 'OR-logic' connections through any target. And these matrices are symmetric, so that FA_{21}=FA{12}.

I'm not sure what is meant by: " However, it has two means and two standard deviations. " ?

To me, the FA values don't seem abnormally high, assuming you are looking at adult subjects. The FA threshold is usually 0.2 in adults, so having a mean FA of ~0.4 isn't so large, I don't believe. What average value were you expecting?

As a side note, for viewing results, you can use SUMA or the command line fat_mat_sel.py, as described in points #2 here:
