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 Megan,

There are just a few things to note here, and the main one is that 1D (TSV) inputs should be concatenated across runs.

For example, the 4 sub-1055_task-learn_run-*_motion.tsv should be concatenated, with only the 1 input passed via -regress_motion_file. I _could_ consider allowing 1 per run as an alternative, but it is not an option right now.

Also, -regress_extra_ortvec can take multiple files as input, but they should also be concatenated across runs. So if you were to :
cat sub-1055_task-learn_run-*_aCompCor6.tsv > ortvec_rall_aCompCor6.1D
(and similarly for cosine and fd), then the options might read:

-regress_extra_ortvec ortvec_rall_aCompCor6.1D   \
                      ortvec_rall_cosine.1D      \
                      ortvec_rall_fd.1D          \
-regress_extra_ortvec_labels aCompcor6 cosine fd \

Note that the "labels" option just names the ortvec files in some way.


Also, the -regress_stim_times_offset parameter is probably negated. If fmriprep has done 3dTshift to align to the middle(ish) of the TR, then it will be as if the EPI timing is later than the start of the TR, and so relatively, the task timing should be earlier. Consider using:

-regress_stim_times_offset -0.870967741935484

Also, just to make it easier, since the -regress_stim_types and -regress_basis_multi parameters are all the same, it is okay to use a single parameter, as in:
-regress_stim_types AM1           \
-regress_basis_multi 'dmBLOCK(0)' \

Does that seem reasonable?
