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 Gang,

I picked 1 voxel from anterior intraparietal sulcus (IPS), which we usually see strong modulation with task-covariates. "Coef" (I'm assuming this is "beta") and "Tstat" from decon_results+orig (output file of 3dDecon) for this voxel during one type of trial are: (time points 0-9)

Coef Tstat
-0.1947 -0.1641
-0.0314 -0.2652
0.2725 2.2806
0.3893 3.2582
0.1590 1.3242
-0.1989 -1.6512
-0.2729 -2.2698
-0.3023 -2.5223
-0.2204 -1.8550
-0.1105 -0.9183

and SD is 0.118 across the time-series. There are 26 trials in this trial type, which makes SEM = 0.118/sqrt(26) = 0.0236. This is almost 1/5 ~ 1/10 of SEM that I'm used to seeing with trial-averaged time-series. Are SEM calculations for decon and trial-average different?

Thanks for your inputs! Akiko
