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 Cathy,

I'm confused as to why you feel the need to scale your beta weights
at all. With a normalized regressor, the beta is already scaled by
the amplitude difference, that is the purpose of normalizing the
regressor.

To be more concrete, the beta weight shows the amplitude of the
response to a stimulus as a difference from the baseline. If, as
is commonly done, the data is scaled to have a mean of 100, and the
regressor is scaled to have a peak of 1, then the beta weight is
the percent change from the baseline (at the peak).

How is your scenario different? Knowing that might make it easier
to understand your question.
