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 Rick,
Thanks for your interest. The codes that are relavent are:

3dDeconvolve -polort 2 -input all_runs+orig -num_stimts 12 \
-stim_file 1 "../../hrf2_pre2.1D" -stim_label 1 pre2 \
-stim_file 2 "../../hrf2_pre5.1D" -stim_label 2 pre5 \
-stim_file 3 "../../hrf2_pre3.1D" -stim_label 3 pre3 \
-stim_file 4 "../../hrf2_post2.1D" -stim_label 4 post2 \
-stim_file 5 "../../hrf2_post5.1D" -stim_label 5 post5 \
-stim_file 6 "../../hrf2_post3.1D" -stim_label 6 post3 \
-stim_file 7 "dfile.all.1D[0]" -stim_base 7 \
-stim_file 8 "dfile.all.1D[1]" -stim_base 8 \
-stim_file 9 "dfile.all.1D[2]" -stim_base 9 \
-stim_file 10 "dfile.all.1D[3]" -stim_base 10 \
-stim_file 11 "dfile.all.1D[4]" -stim_base 11 \
-stim_file 12 "dfile.all.1D[5]" -stim_base 12 \
-num_glt 10 \
-gltsym "SYM: pre2 pre3 pre5 -post2 -post3 -post5" -glt_label 1 preVSpost \
-gltsym "SYM: pre2 -pre3" -glt_label 2 pre2VSpre3 \
-gltsym "SYM: pre2 -pre5" -glt_label 3 pre3VSpre5 \
-gltsym "SYM: pre3 -pre5" -glt_label 4 pre3VSpre5 \
-gltsym "SYM: post2 -post3" -glt_label 5 post2VSpost3 \
-gltsym "SYM: post2 -post5" -glt_label 6 post2VSpost5 \
-gltsym "SYM: post3 -post5" -glt_label 7 post3VSpost5 \
-gltsym "SYM: pre2 -post2" -glt_label 8 pre2VSpost2 \
-gltsym "SYM: pre3 -post3" -glt_label 9 pre3VSpost3 \
-gltsym "SYM: pre5 -post5" -glt_label 10 pre5VSpost5 \
-fout -tout -bucket subj_func -fitts subj_fitts -xjpeg subj_xmat.jpg -x1D subj_xmat.x1D

3dbucket -prefix {$subj_name}_betas+orig subj_func+orig'[1,4,7,10,13,16]'
adwarp -apar {$subj_name}+tlrc -dxyz 3 -dpar {$subj_name}_betas+orig

all_runs+orig is the big dataset, which is the concataneted scaled (in percentile signal change) datasets
hrf2_pre2.1D is the ideal waveform for finger2 for pre scan (i.e. prior to treatment)
pre3 is for finger 3 for pre scan
pre5 is for finger 5 for pre scan
post2 is for finger2 for post scan (i.e. after treatment)
dfile.all includes 6 registreration parameters (e.g. roll, pitch, etc.)
subj_func+orig'[1,4,7,10,13,16]' includes pre2#0_Coef, pre5#0_Coef, etc.

My question is:
After running 3dANOVA, difference maps for finger 2 (pre2 vs post2)demonstrated stastistically significant negative z statistics in some regions . I need to demonstrate fmri signal decrease in these regions as a result of treatment. A reviewer recommends me to show group maps of pre and post scans for finger 2 in SEPARATE figures and a table with % signal change. However, I could not figure out how I can make a group analysis and obtain a group map separetly for pre2 and post2. I am confused, because I am trying to obtain a group map for ONE condition (e.g. pre2) with no comparison between conditions (e.g pre2 vs post2). Should I run a test like independent-samples to t-test to examine whether signal changes for one condition (e.g. pre2) is different from 0 for obtaining such a figure ?

A similar figure that I am trying to obtain is the Figure 2 in Napadow et al. 2007, [www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu]

Thanks in advance,
Ozcelik
