"Quick" follow-up question re: the implementation of MSSD in 3dTstat and the AFNI GUI-- Are there any recommendations about transforming data before trying to calculate MSSD?
The reason I ask is that there are two nice recent papers from groups in (sunny) Miami that use MSSD, where the investigators z-score their data before calculating MSSD. (
Paper 1- Moment-to-Moment BOLD Signal Variability Reflects Regional Changes in Neural Flexibility across the Lifespan
and
Paper 2- Resting-State Brain Signal Variability in Prefrontal Cortex Is Associated With ADHD Symptom Severity in Children ). This likely could be done post MSSD calculation, but I wondered if folks had worked with the new options and what they were doing with data transformations?
I'm VERY excited this got added to the AFNI universe (the AFNI-plex?)!
