Dear AFNI developers,
I’m running 3dTfitter in preparation for a PPI analysis.
The output time series of 3dTfitter has large spikes at the beginning and at the end of the run (spikes.jpg).
The time series of the ROI seem ok to me (roi.jpg).
Below, I include the commands I used, together with the output.
Could you help me in identifying what the source of the spikes might be?
Thank you!
All the best,
Irene
