Hi all,
I found a problem with 3dcalc when doing normalization on a 3D+time data set. The process is as follows (Suppose the 3D+time data set is func+orig):
1. Calculate the mean data set (mean+orig) using 3D Statistic plug-in
2. 3dcalc [-gscale / -fscale / -nscale] –prefix func_norm –a func+orig –b mean+orig -expr “a/b*100” (or “a*100/b”, or “a/b”)
The problem is that some parts of the time course curves look like dashes – in each of these dashes the normalized intensity values of several continuous time points are all the same. I have tried -gscale, -fscale, -nscale, or without scale option and got the same result. Does anybody know how to deal with this problem?
Thanks in advance
