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 Phil,

When I looked into this, I got distracted by the fact that the output
coordinate calculation is currently thrown off if the axes are in
warp-on-demand mode (which is automatic for the overlay when
it does not have the same grid as the underlay).

This is something that people probably see often, but I was not
really aware of. At any rate, it is fixed.

---

Both Neighbor styles use the same basic algorithm, but output
slightly different results (and only in the case of a Separation
Distance > 1). In either case, the extrema are determined and
sorted. Then for each extrema in the sorted list, if the Separation
Distance is greater than 1 (voxel, sorry), the "sphere" around that
voxel is handled as follows:

In the case of the Sort-n-Remove style, any other extrema within
the Separation Distance is removed. Note that sincethe list is
sorted, this removes "less important" extrema.

In the case of Weighted-Average, a center of mass is computed
from the extrema within the separation sphere. The voxel at this
location is output for the result (which is why it might have a much
less extreme value).

If you want to see the actual values that go into the weighted
average, they are printed in debug mode. Debug level 2 will not
show those values, but level 3 will.

Note that you will need updated binaries (dated after now) for the
extra output (and for the accurate coordinates in warp-on-demand
mode).
