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

My response was based on the assumption that you have EPI data for each session and a single anatomical dataset and that you would reanalyze the data with similar pipelines. Alignment of statistical results is almost impossible and not worthwhile if you have the original data. For the second session, you could align the EPI data to the anatomical data of the first run with "align_epi_anat.py -giant_move" or "-ginormous_move".

In most FMRI processing pipelines, however, you would probably use afni_proc.py to guide you instead. There are numerous examples in the program help that are probably useful. The alignment to a standard space template is now often done with our nonlinear warping tools. The typical processing pipelines will handle the obliquity of the datasets internally, so you won't have that as a separate step that introduces addition blurring from interpolation. A single anatomical dataset can be transformed to a standard template space for each subject and then the affine and nonlinear transformations can be applied to the motion-corrected and aligned EPI datasets. The @SSwarper script takes care of the alignment to the template and skullstripping. See these presentations for descriptions and examples:
