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 AFNI experts,

We preprocessed task fMRI images and fit the GLM at the individual level. When we check the statistical maps for each condition at the individual level (p < .001), some statistical maps seem not to align the anatomical images very well. For example, in the attached files which belong to the visual condition, children just passively view the characters presented on the screen. A large proportion of "activated" voxels lay outside of the brain. We also tried -giant_move option but it did not help a lot. Do you have any ideas to fix this?

Xin
