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

I am also confused and I would like to have some clarification. Im not understanding correct if I should use or not the -fwhm flag in the 3dClustSim

In the webpage it says:
**** NOTICE ****
You should use the -acf method, NOT the -fwhm method, when determining cluster-size thresholds for FMRI data. The -acf method will give more accurate false positive rate (FPR) control.

-acf a b c = Alternative to Gaussian filtering: use the spherical
autocorrelation function parameters output by 3dFWHMx
to do non-Gaussian (long-tailed) filtering.
* Using '-acf' will make '-fwhm' pointless!
* The 'a' parameter must be between 0 and 1.
* The 'b' and 'c' parameters (scale radii) must be positive.
* The spatial autocorrelation function is given by
ACF(r) = a * exp(-r*r/(2*b*b)) + (1-a)*exp(-r/c)
>>---------->>*** Combined with 3dFWHMx, the '-acf' method is now a
recommended way to generate clustering statistics in AFNI!

But the last part reffers to the combination with the 3dFWHMx
