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.
I don't think so. The interactive afni itself will recompute the statistics on the fly, as it needs them for display in the "Define Overlay" control panel, if they are not present. Of course, for a large dataset, this takes a little time. But so does reading a large dataset in from disk, and that probably dominates.
I suppose a small program (3dRestat?) would be easy enough to write.
