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

It is possible to combine masks using the 3dcalc program. For example, if you have an ROI mask in dataset ROI+orig and a statistical threshold in dataset sub-brick STAT+orig[5] (perhaps from 3dDeconvolve?), you could use 3dcalc as follows:

3dcalc -a ROI+orig -b 'STAT+orig[5]' -prefix ROI_STAT -expr 'step(a)*step(b-4.7)' -datum byte -nscale

The resulting dataset (ROI_STAT+orig) would be 1 where the ROI+orig dataset was nonzero AND the STAT+orig[5] sub-brick was 4.7 or larger, and would be zero otherwise. You could then use this new dataset as the input mask to 3dmaskave (or 3dROIstats, or 3dmaskdump, or ...) to get what you want. When you don't need it anymore, you could delete this temporary mask dataset.

For the advanced user, you can even create "on the fly" datasets using 3dcalc() on the command line. For details on how to do that, see the "CALCULATED DATASETS" section in the output of "afni -help".
