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-

There is this column in the 3dClusterize tabular output:
Max Int      : Maximum Intensity value for the volume cluster
... so the sign of that should tell you which cluster is pos/neg when using bi-sided (generally recommended) clustering.

In the GUI, when you hit the "Save Mask" button in the Clusterize Report controller, you will see the 3dClusterize command run on the commandline for you, as well; you can redirect that table to the file.

Just in case you are bored and want some related reading on the topic of using stats/betas for different aspects of reporting, then you could take a look at:

1) Is the statistic value all we should care about in neuroimaging?
[www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
(Hint about the title: the answer is "no".) This describes why using more than stats is important, and the separate roles of the stats and betas in interpreting your results.

and

2) A tail of two sides: Artificially doubled false positive rates in neuroimaging due to the sidedness choice with t-tests.
[www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
which is covers (among other useful bits) how bi-sided or two-sided testing can still allow you to tell which clusters are positive and negative.

and here might be a useful example of automatically taking snapshots of your stats results:
