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.
The renderers do not allow float data for the underlay (though
they do for the overlay). I do not recall why that would have
been more difficult, but it is a current limitation.
As an option, convert such datasets to scaled shorts, say:
3dcalc -a floats.nii -expr a -datum short -prefix scaled.shorts
Note that 'scaled.shorts' will come out in AFNI format (we avoid
scaled shorts in NIfTI format).
