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, Sondos-

I am afraid I don't understand. In my view, the number of tracts to/from/intersecting a target ROI is a single number. I'm not sure what a 'maximum number of tracts' would be?

One possible thing to clarify-- in other tracking programs, there is a paradigm of "starting tracts" from an ROI and letting them fire out elsewhere, seeing where they hit. As a consequence, there is inherent directionality of tractography-estimated connections (connections from target A to target B can be different htan connections from target B to target A). That is not the case in AFNI. Whole brain tracking occurs, and then the program finds tracts that have any segment intersecting an target ROI ("OR-logic" connections) as well as any tracts that have segments intersecting multiple taret ROIs ("AND-logic" connections), and those are kept and used.

I am not sure if that is a factor in our different terminologies?
