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

What if there is one (or more than one) missing value (ie, subject did not respond to certain trial)? Should the 1D file be
3:1.2 10:2.1 16 21:1.1 (no reaction time--RT for time point 16)
No, this is not right. First, the program will not run if the same number of extra values are not "married" to each time value -- it will complain.

Second, I don't think there is an obvious way to impute a value for this missing data. In my opinion, if the subject did not react to a stimulus, then something different happened in that trial in the subject's brain, and so such trials should be broken out into a separate stimulus class -- that is analyzed with a "typical" stimulus response (perhaps 'BLOCK(d)' where d=average of actual responses). By putting such stimuli into a separate class, the data from those intervals won't contaminate the results computed from the "correct" or "typical" trials.
