Dear AFNI experts, I just tested the new version of animal_warper. Everything works fine, but I just find something not normal when the bain mask is produced at the end. I guess it is based on the skullstriped anatomical image in the template space that is sent back into the subject space? It seems that the mask is cut when compared to the previous version. In consequence, in macaque, I am losiby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board

Hi AFNI expert, is it still not possible to performed VBM with AFNI? if not, can I use (SPM, ANTS, or something else) to calculate the voxel-wise volume ratio changes after using @animal_warper? Thanks a lot! Clémentby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board
Hi -pt, Sorry to come back with this old topic but my new problem is actually related to the co-registration of these animals. By having a deep look at the co-registrated functional images and extracting some signal with the D99 atlas, I finally understand why the correlation coefficients were not great. It seems that a slight section of voxels in the grey matter (edge) of the functionalby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board

Hello AFNI experts I would like to use a macaque atlas that is in the F99 template space. In order to do that, I would like to send the atlas in the nmt template. To do so I used: @animal_warper -input nmt_1.2/NMT_SS.nii.gz -base Human_macaque_equivalent/F99_with_skull.nii.gz -atlas RM_inF99.nii.gz -outdir Human_macaque_equivalent/InD99 -skullstrip Human_macaque_equivalent/F99_with_skuby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board
Dear AFNI expert, I am trying to coregistrate fMRI images to their anatomical and then to a Template for another species (mouse lemur) and with afni_proc.py To do so, I applied the exact same script as described here for macaques: I am using a template that we published: In order to use the script and afni_proc.py, I had to change the template space name to NMT but I guess that isby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board
Hi, Pt- First, thank you for your answer, I have done the analysis and: Re.

Hello AFNI expert, I would like to compare the ability of different atlases to extract a homogeneous BOLD signal in each ROI. I created different atlases based on ICA. I built one atlas per component number (for ex: from 5 to 30 components so I have 25 atlases). I was thinking of using 3dReHo with -in_rois one each atlas and calculating the curve of an increase of ReHo per atlas. Since Iby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board

Hi Gang, Thank for your answer! The subjects were not measured exactly at the same age but within the same session. The effect of interest is the age and I am looking to observe a correlation with the modification of the connectivity strength.

Hi AFNI expert, I finally found the solution and I will probably be able to be more clear. Two things were impacting the results of this analysis and fixing it has tremendously improved the quality of the coregistration: 1. Deobliquing the data prior to @afni_proc.py can be dangerous if like in my dataset the EPI and the anatomical images have different FOV orientations. 3drefitby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board

Hi --pt, Thank you, I don't think that it is going to work because in the previous pipeline we already align the center of these two images. I think that the problem comes from the fact that the two images do not overlay. Probably, when we apply the transformation parameters, they can't be accurate anymore because the orientation of the two brains is different. The non-overlay ofby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board

Hello AFNI, Thanks to --pt I have now the solution for the coregistration of the functional images in macaques: I had difficulty with nonlinear warping because large shifts were involved: "basically, the memory usage can be quite high, because the warp field must cover a box that covers both input and output datasets-- and a large shift means that one would need a large box (memory cby Doughboys - AFNI Message Board

Hi ptaylor, Thank you so much for your help! + the original coordinates are a bit odd-- while the anatomical and EPI overlay each other, the (x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0) location is far outside the brain; this can affect some alignment issues. ==> Do you have any idea of what could cause that in the aquisiton protocol?
