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

We are interested in performing a conjunction analysis in which we look for the common regions of activation for a specific condition across 2 groups of subjects.

Our experimental design consists of 2 groups, one in which event related, visual stimuli were presented at a slow, fixed interval and a second group in which the visual stimuli were presented at jittered shorter durations. We looked at encoding hits and encoding misses for each group.

1. How do we set up a conjunction analysis where we ask whether a particular voxel is signficant across both contrasts (ie, hits-misses for the jittered group and hits-misses for the fixed ISI group)?

2. If we were to set up a more traditional ANOVA, would we use 3dANOVA where the input -a is jittered duration v. fixed duration and subjects are assumed to be part of a fixed-effects model OR would be use 3dANOVA3 type 5 where the input -a is as above, and -b is hits-baseline or misses-baseline, and -c is subject. We would then ask for the -bdiff of factor -b.

3. With regard to question #2, we have assumed that it is more desirable to carry our analysis as far as possible in individual subjects, and therefore use the glt combination of hits-misses for each subject as the input into our ANOVA, rather than hits-baseline and misses-baseline. We don't think that approach would work with 3dANOVA3.
Thanks for your time!
