Hi all,
I created some brik files which represent % area under the curve %(auc) calculations from functional data which was not masked. When I load up the brik I get a bik gaping hole where the brain should be. The only data visible is the noise outside the brain. This says to me that the %auc briks need to be clipped. The problem is how do I decide on appropriate values to to pass to 3dmerge -2clip?
Why did I not use a brain mask in the first place? I'd like to pass the %auc files through fsl's flirt to do the normalisation and it seems to work best on data which hasn't been masked. I guess the key here is to avoid being over aggressive on the clipping.
Advice greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Colm.
