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

3dSatCheck exists, but is not compiled in AFNI binary distributions. I'm not sure it is particularly useful. At the moment I wrote it, my idea was that people would need a way to check for pre-steady state in their data. However, my love for this idea waned quickly, as I now feel that people should LOOK at their data to get an idea of how much pre-steady state (pre-saturation) artifact is present at the start of each imaging run. If you have a study with all data acquired under the same scanning protocol, all EPI datasets should be pretty much the same in this regard.

Myself
Usage: 3dSatCheck dataset [...]
Prints the 'raw' initial transient (saturation) check
value for each dataset on the command line. Round this
number to the nearest integer to get an estimate of
how many non-saturated time points start a dataset.
Sample run:

and I
3dSatCheck v?_time+orig.HEAD
++ v1_time+orig.HEAD = 0.667
++ v2_time+orig.HEAD = 0.619
++ v4_time+orig.HEAD = 1.592
