Dear Colleagues,
Hi. In the context of alignment, are the correlations used in the cost functions what I understand as a "spatial correlation"? That is, are you simply correlating the value at a point in space in the source dataset with the value at the same point in space in the base dataset and then repeating for all points in space? Of course you are not really "repeating;" you just have two variables/vectors, but you know what I mean. Speaking of spatial correlations, if I wanted to calculate them for a 3D+time source dataset so that I calculated a spatial correlation with a single functional base dataset or "template" for each time subbrick, which AFNI program should I use?
Sincerely,
Dante
