AFNI program: 1dApar2mat
Usage: 1dApar2mat dx dy dz a1 a2 a3 sx sy sz hx hy hz * This program computes the affine transformation matrix from the set of 3dAllineate parameters. * The result is printed to stdout, and can be captured by Unix shell redirection (e.g., '|', '>', '>>', etc.). See the EXAMPLE, far below. * One use for 1dApar2mat is to take a set of parameters from '3dAllineate -1Dparam_save', alter them in some way, and re-compute the corresponding matrix. For example, compute the full affine transform with 12 parameters, but then omit the final 6 parameters to see what the 'pure' shift+rotation matrix looks like. * The 12 parameters are, in the order used on the 1dApar2mat command line (the same order as output by 3dAllineate): x-shift in mm y-shift in mm z-shift in mm z-angle (roll) in degrees (not radians!) x-angle (pitch) in degrees y-angle (yaw) in degrees x-scale unitless factor, in [0.10,10.0] y-scale unitless factor, in [0.10,10.0] z-scale unitless factor, in [0.10,10.0] y/x-shear unitless factor, in [-0.3333,0.3333] z/x-shear unitless factor, in [-0.3333,0.3333] z/y-shear unitless factor, in [-0.3333,0.3333] * Parameters omitted from the end of the command line get their default values (0 except for scales, which default to 1). * At least 1 parameter must be given, or you get this help message :) The minimum command line is 1dApar2mat 0 which will output the identity matrix. * Legal scale and shear factors have limited ranges, as described above. An input value outside the given range will be reset to the default value for that factor (1 or 0). * UNUSUAL SPECIAL CASES: If you used 3dAllineate with any of the options described under 'CHANGING THE ORDER OF MATRIX APPLICATION' or you used the '-EPI' option, then the order of parameters inside 3dAllineate will no longer be the same as the parameter order in 1dApar2mat. In such a situation, the matrix output by this program will NOT agree with that output by 3dAllineate for the same set of parameter numbers :( * EXAMPLE: 1dApar2mat 0 1 2 3 4 5 to get a rotation matrix with some shifts; the output is: # mat44 1dApar2mat 0 1 2 3 4 5 : 0.994511 0.058208 -0.086943 0.000000 -0.052208 0.996197 0.069756 1.000000 0.090673 -0.064834 0.993768 2.000000 If you wish to capture this matrix all on one line, you can combine various Unix shell and command tricks/tools, as in echo `1dApar2mat 0 1 2 3 4 5 | tail -3` > Fred.aff12.1D This 12-numbers-in-one-line is the format output by '-1Dmatrix_save' in 3dAllineate and 3dvolreg. * FANCY EXAMPLE: Tricksy command line stuff to compute the inverse of a matrix set fred = `1dApar2mat 0 0 0 3 4 5 1 1 1 0.2 0.1 0.2 | tail -3` cat_matvec `echo $fred | sed -e 's/ /,/g' -e 's/^/MATRIX('/`')' -I * ALSO SEE: Programs cat_matvec and 1dmatcalc for doing simple matrix arithmetic on such files. * OPTIONS: This program has no options. Love it or leave it :) * AUTHOR: Zhark the Most Affine and Sublime - April 2019

AFNI program: 1dAstrip
Usage: 1dAstrip < input > output This very simple program strips non-numeric characters from a file, so that it can be processed by other AFNI 1d programs. For example, if your input is x=3.6 y=21.6 z=14.2 then your output would be 3.6 21.6 14.2 * Non-numeric characters are replaced with blanks. * The letter 'e' is preserved if it is preceeded or followed by a numeric character. This is to allow for numbers like '1.2e-3'. * Numeric characters, for the purpose of this program, are defined as the digits '0'..'9', and '.', '+', '-'. * The program is simple and can easily end up leaving undesired junk characters in the output. Sorry. * This help string is longer than the rest of the source code to this program!

AFNI program: 1dBandpass
Usage: 1dBandpass [options] fbot ftop infile ~1~ * infile is an AFNI *.1D file; each column is processed * fbot = lowest frequency in the passband, in Hz [can be 0 if you want to do a lowpass filter only,] but the mean and Nyquist freq are always removed ] * ftop = highest frequency in the passband (must be > fbot) [if ftop > Nyquist freq, then we have a highpass filter only] * You cannot construct a 'notch' filter with this program! * Output vectors appear on stdout; redirect as desired * Program will fail if fbot and ftop are too close for comfort * The actual FFT length used will be printed, and may be larger than the input time series length for the sake of efficiency. Options: ~1~ -dt dd = set time step to 'dd' sec [default = 1.0] -ort f.1D = Also orthogonalize input to columns in f.1D [only one '-ort' option is allowed] -nodetrend = Skip the quadratic detrending of the input -norm = Make output time series have L2 norm = 1 Example: ~1~ 1deval -num 1000 -expr 'gran(0,1)' > r1000.1D 1dBandpass 0.025 0.20 r1000.1D > f1000.1D 1dfft f1000.1D - | 1dplot -del 0.000977 -stdin -plabel 'Filtered |FFT|' Goal: ~1~ * Mostly to test the functions in thd_bandpass.c -- RWCox -- May 2009 ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dBport
Usage: 1dBport [options] Creates a set of columns of sines and cosines for the purpose of bandpassing via regression (e.g., in 3dDeconvolve). Various option are given to specify the duration and structure of the time series to be created. Results are written to stdout, and usually should be redirected appropriately (cf. EXAMPLES, infra). The file produced could be used with the '-ortvec' option to 3dDeconvolve, for example. OPTIONS ------- -band fbot ftop = Specify lowest and highest frequencies in the passband. fbot can be 0 if you want to do a highpass filter only; on the other hand, if ftop > Nyquist frequency, then it's a lowpass filter only. ** This 'option' is actually mandatory! (At least once.) * For the un-enlightened, the Nyquist frequency is the highest frequency supported on the given grid, and is equal to 0.5/TR (units are Hz if TR is in s). * The lowest nonzero frequency supported on the grid is equaly to 1/(N*TR), where N=number of time points. ** Multiple -band options can be used, if needed. If the bands overlap, regressors will NOT be duplicated. * That is, '-band 0.01 0.05 -band 0.03 0.08' is the same as using '-band 0.01 0.08'. ** Note that if fbot==0 and ftop>=Nyquist frequency, you get a 'complete' set of trig functions, meaning that using these in regression is effectively a 'no-pass' filter -- probably not what you want! ** It is legitimate to set fbot = ftop. ** The 0 frequency (fbot = 0) component is all 1, of course. But unless you use the '-quad' option, nothing generated herein will deal well with linear-ish or quadratic-ish trends, which fall below the lowest nonzero frequency representable in a full cycle on the grid: f_low = 1 / ( NT * TR ) where NT = number of time points. ** See the fourth EXAMPLE to learn how to use 3dDeconvolve to generate a file of polynomials for regression fun. -invert = After computing which frequency indexes correspond to the input band(s), invert the selection -- that is, output all those frequencies NOT selected by the -band option(s). See the fifth EXAMPLE. -nozero } Do NOT generate the 0 frequency (constant) component *OR } when fbot = 0; this has the effect of setting fbot to -noconst } 1/(N*TR), and is essentially a convenient way to say 'eliminate all oscillations below the ftop frequency'. -quad = Add regressors for linear and quadratic trends. (These will be the last columns in the output.) -input dataset } One of these options is used to specify the number of *OR* } time points to be created, as in 3dDeconvolve. -input1D 1Dfile } ** '-input' allow catenated datasets, as in 3dDeconvolve. *OR* } ** '-input1D' assumes TR=1 unless you use the '-TR' option. -nodata NT [TR] } ** One of these options is mandatory, to specify the length of the time series file to generate. -TR del = Set the time step to 'del' rather than use the one given in the input dataset (if any). ** If TR is not specified by the -input dataset or by -nodata or by -TR, the program will assume it is 1.0 s. -concat rname = As in 3dDeconvolve, used to specify the list of start indexes for concatenated runs. ** Also as in 3dDeconvolve, if the -input dataset is auto- catenated (by providing a list of more than one dataset), the run start list is automatically generated. Otherwise, this option is needed if more than one run is involved. EXAMPLES -------- The first example provides basis functions to filter out all frequency components from 0 to 0.25 Hz: 1dBport -nodata 100 1 -band 0 0.25 > highpass.1D The second example provides basis functions to filter out all frequency components from 0.25 Hz up to the Nyquist freqency: 1dBport -nodata 100 1 -band 0.25 666 > lowpass.1D The third example shows how to examine the results visually, for fun: 1dBport -nodata 100 1 -band 0.41 0.43 | 1dplot -stdin -thick The fourth example shows how to use 3dDeconvolve to generate a file of polynomial 'orts', in case you find yourself needing this ability someday (e.g., when stranded on a desert isle, with Gilligan, the Skipper, et al.): 3dDeconvolve -nodata 100 1 -polort 2 -x1D_stop -x1D stdout: | 1dcat stdin: > pol3.1D The fifth example shows how to use 1dBport to generate a set of regressors to eliminate all frequencies EXCEPT those in the selected range: 1dBport -nodata 100 1 -band 0.03 0.13 -nozero -invert | 1dplot -stdin In this example, the '-nozero' flag is used because the next step will be to 3dDeconvolve with '-polort 2' and '-ortvec' to get rid of the undesirable stuff. ETYMOLOGICAL NOTES ------------------ * The word 'ort' was coined by Andrzej Jesmanowicz, as a shorthand name for a timeseries to which you want to 'orthogonalize' your data. * 'Ort' actually IS an English word, and means 'a scrap of food left from a meal'. As far as I know, its only usage in modern English is in crossword puzzles, and in Scrabble. * For other meanings of 'ort', see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ort * Do not confuse 'ort' with 'Oort': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud AUTHOR -- RWCox -- Jan 2012 ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dcat
Usage: 1dcat [options] a.1D b.1D ... where each file a.1D, b.1D, etc. is a 1D file. In the simplest form, a 1D file is an ASCII file of numbers arranged in rows and columns. 1dcat takes as input one or more 1D files, and writes out a 1D file containing the side-by-side concatenation of all or a subset of the columns from the input files. * Output goes to stdout (the screen); redirect (e.g., '>') to save elsewhere. * All files MUST have the same number of rows! * Any header lines (i.e., lines that start with '#') will be lost. * For generic 1D file usage help and information, see '1dplot -help' ----------- TSV files: [Sep 2018] ----------- * 1dcat can now also read .tsv files, which are columns of values separated by tab characters (tsv = tab separated values). The first row of a .tsv file is a set of column labels. After the header row, each column is either all numbers, or is a column of strings. For example Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 3.2 7.2 Elvis 8.2 -1.2 Sinatra 6.66 33.3 20892 In this example, the column labels contain spaces, which are NOT separators; the only column separator used in a .tsv file is the tab character. The first and second columns are converted to number columns, since every value (after the label/header row) is a numeric string. The third column is stored as strings, since some of the entries are not valid numbers. * 1dcat can deal with a mix of .1D and .tsv files. The .tsv file header rows are NOT output by default, since .1D files don't have such headers. * The usual output from 1dcat is NOT a .tsv file - blanks are used for separators. You can use the '-tsvout' option to get TSV formatted output. * If you mix .1D and .tsv files, the number of data rows in each file must be the same. Since the header row in a .tsv file is NOT used here, the total number of lines in a .tsv file must be 1 more than the number of lines in a .1D file for the two files to match in this program. * The purpose of supporting .tsv files is for eventual compatibility with the BIDS format http://bids.neuroimaging.io - which uses .tsv files extensively to provide auxiliary information for (F)MRI datasets. * Column selectors (like '[0,3]') can be used on .tsv files, but row selectors (like '{0,3..5}') cannot be used on .tsv files - at this time :( * You can also select a column in a .tsv file by using the label at the top of of the column. A BIDS-related example: 1dcat sub-666_task-XXX_events.tsv'[onset,duration,trial_type,reaction_time]' A similar example, which outputs a list of the trial types in an imaging run: 1dcat sub-666_task-XXX_events.tsv'[trial_type]' | sort | uniq * Since .1D files don't have headers, the label method of column selection doesn't work with such inputs; you must use integer column selectors on .1D files. * NOTE WELL: The string 'N/A' or 'n/a' in a column that is otherwise numeric will be considered to be a number, and will be replaced on input with the mean of the "true" numbers in the column -- there is no concept of missing data in an AFNI .1D file. ++ If you don't like this, well ... too bad for you. * NOTE WELL: 1dcat now also allows comma separated value (.csv) files. These are treated the same as .tsv files, with a header line, et cetera. -------- OPTIONS: -------- -tsvout = Output in a TSV (.tsv) format, where the values in each row are separated by tabs, not blanks. Also, a header line will be provided, as TSV files require. -csvout = Output in a CSV (.csv) format, where the values in each row are separated by commas, not blanks. Also, a header line will be provided, as CSV files require. -nonconst = Columns that are identically constant should be omitted from the output. -nonfixed = Keep only columns that are marked as 'free' in the 3dAllineate header from '-1Dparam_save'. If there is no such header, all columns are kept. * NOTE: -nconst and -nonfixed don't have any effect on .tsv/.csv files, and the use of these options has NOT been tested at all when the inputs are mixture of .tsv/.csv and .1D files. -form FORM = Format of the numbers to be output. You can also substitute -form FORM with shortcuts such as -i, -f, or -c. For help on -form's usage, and its shortcut versions see ccalc's help for the option of the same name. -stack = Stack the columns of the resultant matrix in the output. You can't use '-stack' with .tsv/.csv files :( -sel SEL = Apply the same column/row selection string to all filenames on the command line. For example: 1dcat -sel '[0,2]' f1.1D f2.1D is the same as: 1dcat f1.1D'[1,2]' f2.1D'[1,2]' The advantage of the option is that it allows wildcard use in file specification so that you can run something like: 1dcat -sel '[0,2]' f?.1D -OKempty: Exit quietly when encountering an empty file on disk. Note that if the file is poorly formatted, it might be considered empty. EXAMPLE: -------- Input file 1: 1 2 3 4 Input file 2: 5 6 7 8 1dcat data1.1D data2.1D > catout.1D Output file: 1 5 2 6 3 7 4 8 ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dCorrelate
Usage: 1dCorrelate [options] 1Dfile 1Dfile ... ------ * Each input 1D column is a collection of data points. * The correlation coefficient between each column pair is computed, along with its confidence interval (via a bias-corrected bootstrap procedure). * The minimum sensible column length is 7. * At least 2 columns are needed [in 1 or more .1D files]. * If there are N input columns, there will be N*(N-1)/2 output rows. * Output appears on stdout; redirect ('>' or '>>') as needed. * Only one correlation method can be used in one run of this program. * This program is basically the basterd offspring of program 1ddot. * Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval ------- Methods [actually, only the first letter is needed to choose a method] ------- [and the case doesn't matter: '-P' and '-p' both = '-Pearson'] -Pearson = Pearson correlation [the default method] -Spearman = Spearman (rank) correlation [more robust vs. outliers] -Quadrant = Quadrant (binarized) correlation [most robust, but weaker] -Ktaub = Kendall's tau_b 'correlation' [popular somewhere, maybe] ------------- Other Options [these options cannot be abbreviated!] ------------- -nboot B = Set the number of bootstrap replicates to 'B'. * The default value of B is 4000. * A larger number will give somewhat more accurate confidence intervals, at the cost of more CPU time. -alpha A = Set the 2-sided confidence interval width to '100-A' percent. * The default value of A is 5, giving the 2.5..97.5% interval. * The smallest allowed A is 1 (0.5%..99.5%) and the largest allowed value of A is 20 (10%..90%). * If you are interested assessing if the 'p-value' of a correlation is smaller than 5% (say), then you should use '-alpha 10' and see if the confidence interval includes 0. -block = Attempt to allow for serial correlation in the data by doing *OR* variable-length block resampling, rather than completely -blk random resampling as in the usual bootstrap. * You should NOT do this unless you believe that serial correlation (along each column) is present and significant. * Block resampling requires at least 20 data points in each input column. Fewer than 20 will turn off this option. ----- Notes ----- * For each pair of columns, the output include the correlation value as directly calculated, plus the bias-corrected bootstrap value, and the desired (100-A)% confidence interval [also via bootstrap]. * The primary purpose of this program is to provide an easy way to get the bootstrap confidence intervals, since people almost always seem to use the asymptotic normal theory to decide if a correlation is 'significant', and this often seems misleading to me [especially for short columns]. * Bootstrapping confidence intervals for the inverse correlations matrix (i.e., partial correlations) would be interesting -- anyone out there need this ability? ------------- Sample output [command was '1dCorrelate -alpha 10 A2.1D B2.1D'] ------------- # Pearson correlation [n=12 #col=2] # Name Name Value BiasCorr 5.00% 95.00% N: 5.00% N:95.00% # -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- A2.1D[0] B2.1D[0] +0.57254 +0.57225 -0.03826 +0.86306 +0.10265 +0.83353 * Bias correction of the correlation had little effect; this is very common. ++ To be clear, the bootstrap bias correction is to allow for potential bias in the statistical estimate of correlation when the sample size is small. ++ It cannot correct for biases that result from faulty data (or faulty assumptions about the data). * The correlation is NOT significant at this level, since the CI (confidence interval) includes 0 in its range. * For the Pearson method ONLY, the last two columns ('N:', as above) also show the widely used asymptotic normal theory confidence interval. As in the example, the bootstrap interval is often (but not always) wider than the theoretical interval. * In the example, the normal theory might indicate that the correlation is significant (less than a 5% chance that the CI includes 0), but the bootstrap CI shows that is not a reasonable statistical conclusion. ++ The principal reason that I wrote this program was to make it easy to check if the normal (Gaussian) theory for correlation significance testing is reasonable in any given case -- for small samples, it often is NOT reasonable! * Using the same data with the '-S' option gives the table below, again indicating that there is no significant correlation between the columns (note also the lack of the 'N:' results for Spearman correlation): # Spearman correlation [n=12 #col=2] # Name Name Value BiasCorr 5.00% 95.00% # -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- A2.1D[0] B2.1D[0] +0.46154 +0.42756 -0.23063 +0.86078 ------------- SAMPLE SCRIPT ------------- This script generates random data and correlates it until it is statistically significant at some level (default=2%). Then it plots the data that looks correlated. The point is to show what purely random stuff that appears correlated can look like.

Simple function to manipulate DW gradient vector files, b-value files, and b-/g-matrices. Let: g_i be one of Ng spatial gradients in three dimensions; the g-matrix is G_{ij} = g_i*g_j (i.e., dyad of gradients, without b-value included); and the DW-scaled b-matrix is B_{ij} = b*g_i*g_j. **NB: please consider using the newer function '1dDW_Grad_o_Mat++' instead of this one, as modern thinking means much of the defaults (such as averaging reference b0 volumes together and functionality here is not really in vogue anymore.

Use wisely. -flip_x :change sign of first column of gradients -flip_y :change sign of second column of gradients -flip_z :change sign of third column of gradients -bref_mean_top :when averaging the reference X 'b0' values (which is default behavior), have the mean of the X values be represented in the top row; default behavior is to have nothing representing the b0 information in the top row (for historical functionality reasons). NB: if your reference 'b0' actually has b>0, you might not want to average the b0 refs together, because their images could have differing contrast if the same reference vector wasn't used for each. -keep_b0s :default function is to get rid of all reference image, but this option acts as switch to keep them. -put_zeros_top :whatever the output format is, add a row at the top with all zeros. -bmax_ref THRESH :THRESH is a scalar number below which b-values (in BVAL_IN) are considered `zero' or reference. Sometimes, for the reference images, the scanner has a value like b=5 s/mm^2, instead of strictly b=0 strictly. One can still flag such values as being associated with a reference image and trim it out, using, for the example case here, '-bmax_ref 5.1'. -in_bvals BVAL_IN :BVAL_IN is a file of b-values, such as the 'bval' file generated by dcm2nii. -out_bval_col :switch to put a column of the bvalues as the first column in the output data. -out_bval_row_sep BB :output a file BB of bvalues in a single row. -out_bval_col_sep BB :output a file BB of bvalues in a single row. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you use this program, please reference the introductory/description paper for the FATCAT toolbox: Taylor PA, Saad ZS (2013).

AFNI program: 1dDW_Grad_o_Mat++
++ Program version: 2.2 Simple function to manipulate DW gradient vector files, b-value files, and b- or g-matrices. Let: g_i be one of Ng spatial gradients in three dimensions; |g_i| = 1, and the g-matrix is G_{ij} = g_i * g_j (i.e., dyad of gradients, without b-value included); and the DW-scaled b-matrix is B_{ij} = b * g_i * g_j. **This new version of the function** will replace the original/older version (1dDW_Grad_o_Mat). The new has similar functionality, but improved defaults: + it does not average b=0 volumes together by default; + it does not remove top b=0 line from top by default; + output has same scaling as input by default (i.e., by bval or not); and a switch is used to turn *off* scaling, for unit magn output (which is cleverly concealed under the name '-unit_mag_out'). Wherefore, you ask? Well, times change, and people change. The above functionality is still available, but each just requires selection with command line switches. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As of right now, one can input: + 3 rows of gradients (as output from dcm2nii, for example); + 3 columns of gradients; + 6 columns of g- or b-matrices, in `diagonal-first' (-> matA) order: Bxx, Byy, Bzz, Bxy, Bxz, Byz, which is used in 3dDWItoDT, for example; + 6 columns of g- or b-matrices, in `row-first' (-> matT) order: Bxx, 2*Bxy, 2*Bxz, Byy, 2*Byz, Bzz, which is output by TORTOISE, for example; + when specifying input file, one can use the brackets '{ }' in order to specify a subset of rows to keep (NB: probably can't use this grad-filter when reading in row-data right now). During processing, one can: + flip the sign of any of the x-, y- or z-components, which may be necessary to do to make the scanned data and tracking work happily together; + filter out all `zero' rows of recorded reference images, THOUGH this is not really recommended. One can then output: + 3 columns of gradients; + 6 columns of g- or b-matrices, in 'diagonal-first' order; + 6 columns of g- or b-matrices, in 'row-first' order; + as well as including a column of b-values (such as used in, e.g., DSI-Studio); + as well as explicitly include a row of zeros at the top; * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * + RUNNING: 1dDW_Grad_o_Mat++ \ { -in_row_vec | -in_col_vec | \ -in_col_matA | -in_col_matT } INFILE \ { -flip_x | -flip_y | -flip_z | -no_flip } \ { -out_row_vec | -out_col_vec | \ -out_col_matA | -out_col_matT } OUTFILE \ { -in_bvals BVAL_FILE } \ { -out_col_bval } \ { -out_row_bval_sep BB | -out_col_bval_sep BB } \ { -unit_mag_out } \ { -bref_mean_top } \ { -bmax_ref THRESH } \ { -put_zeros_top } \ where: (one of the following formats of input must be given): -in_row_vec INFILE :input file of 3 rows of gradients (e.g., dcm2nii-format output). -in_col_vec INFILE :input file of 3 columns of gradients. -in_col_matA INFILE :input file of 6 columns of b- or g-matrix in 'A(FNI)' `diagonal first'-format.

(Supplementary input bvalues would be ignored in the output matrix/vector, but not in the output bvalues themselves.) The default behavior of the function is to leave the output scaled however it is input (while also applying any input BVAL_FILE). -flip_x :change sign of first column of gradients (or of the x-component parts of the matrix) -flip_y :change sign of second column of gradients (or of the y-component parts of the matrix) -flip_z :change sign of third column of gradients (or of the z-component parts of the matrix) -no_flip :don't change any gradient/matrix signs. This is an extraneous switch, as the default is to not flip any signs (this is mainly used for some scripting convenience -check_abs_min VVV :By default, this program checks input matrix formats for consistency (having positive semi- definite diagonal matrix elements). It will fail if those don't occur. However, sometimes there is just a tiny values <0, like a rounding error; you can specify to push throughfor negative diagonal elements with magnitude <VVV, with those values getting replaced by zero.

AFNI program: 1deval
Usage: 1deval [options] -expr 'expression' Evaluates an expression that may include columns of data from one or more text files and writes the result to stdout. ** Only a single column can be used for each input 1D file. ** * Simple multiple column operations (e.g., addition, scaling) can be done with program 1dmatcalc. * Any single letter from a-z can be used as the independent variable in the expression. * Unless specified using the '[]' notation (cf. 1dplot -help), only the first column of an input 1D file is used, and other columns are ignored. * Only one column of output will be produced -- if you want to calculate a multi-column output file, you'll have to run 1deval separately for each column, and then glue the results together using program 1dcat. [However, see the 1dcat example combined with the '-1D:' option, infra.] Options: -------- -del d = Use 'd' as the step for a single undetermined variable in the expression [default = 1.0] SYNONYMS: '-dx' and '-dt' -start s = Start at value 's' for a single undetermined variable in the expression [default = 0.0] That is, for the indeterminate variable in the expression (if any), the i-th value will be s+i*d for i=0, 1, .... SYNONYMS: '-xzero' and '-tzero' -num n = Evaluate the expression 'n' times. If -num is not used, then the length of an input time series is used. If there are no time series input, then -num is required. -a q.1D = Read time series file q.1D and assign it to the symbol 'a' (as in 3dcalc). * Letters 'a' to 'z' may be used as symbols. * You can use the filename 'stdin:' to indicate that the data for 1 symbol comes from standard input: 1dTsort q.1D stdout: | 1deval -a stdin: -expr 'sqrt(a)' | 1dplot stdin: -a=NUMBER = set the symbol 'a' to a fixed numerical value rather than a variable value from a 1D file. * Letters 'a' to 'z' may be used as symbols. * You can't assign the same symbol twice! -index i.1D = Read index column from file i.1D and write it out as 1st column of output. This option is useful when working with surface data. -1D: = Write output in the form of a single '1D:' string suitable for input on the command line of another program. [-1D: is incompatible with the -index option!] [This won't work if the output string is very long,] [since the maximum command line length is limited. ] Examples: --------- * 't' is the indeterminate variable in the expression below: 1deval -expr 'sin(2*PI*t)' -del 0.01 -num 101 > sin.1D * Multiply two columns of data (no indeterminate variable): 1deval -expr 'a*b' -a fred.1D -b ethel.1D > ab.1D * Compute and plot the F-statistic corresponding to p=0.001 for varying degrees of freedom given by the indeterminate variable 'n': 1deval -start 10 -num 90 -expr 'fift_p2t(0.001,n,2*n)' | 1dplot -xzero 10 -stdin * Compute the square root of some numbers given in '1D:' form directly on the command line: 1deval -x '1D: 1 4 9 16' -expr 'sqrt(x)' Examples using '-1D:' as the output format: ------------------------------------------- The examples use the shell backquote `xxx` operation, where the command inside the backquotes is executed, its stdout is captured into a string, and placed back on the command line. When you have mastered this idea, you have taken another step towards becoming a Jedi AFNI Master! 1dplot `1deval -1D: -num 71 -expr 'cos(t/2)*exp(-t/19)'` 1dcat `1deval -1D: -num 100 -expr 'cos(t/5)'` \ `1deval -1D: -num 100 -expr 'sin(t/5)'` > sincos.1D 3dTfitter -quiet -prefix - \ -RHS `1deval -1D: -num 30 -expr 'cos(t)*exp(-t/7)'` \ -LHS `1deval -1D: -num 30 -expr 'cos(t)'` \ `1deval -1D: -num 30 -expr 'sin(t)'` Notes: ------ * Program 3dcalc operates on 3D and 3D+time datasets in a similar way. * Program ccalc can be used to evaluate a single numeric expression. * If I had any sense, THIS program would have been called 1dcalc! * For generic 1D file usage help, see '1dplot -help' * For help with expression format, see '3dcalc -help', or type 'help' when using ccalc in interactive mode. * 1deval only produces a single column of output. 3dcalc can be tricked into doing multi-column 1D format output by treating a 1D file as a 3D dataset and auto-transposing it with \' For example: 3dcalc -a '1D: 3 4 5 | 1 2 3'\' -expr 'cbrt(a)' -prefix - The input has 2 'columns' and so does the output. Note that the 1D 'file' is transposed on input to 3dcalc! This is essential, or 3dcalc will not treat the 1D file as a dataset, and the results will be very different. Recall that when a 1D file is read as an 3D AFNI dataset, the row direction corresponds to the sub-brick (e.g., time) direction, and the column direction corresponds to the voxel direction. A Dastardly Trick: ------------------ If you use some other letter than 'z' as the indeterminate variable in the calculation, and if 'z' is not assigned to any input 1D file, then 'z' in the expression will be the previous value computed. This trick can be used to create 1 point recursions, as in the following command for creating a AR(1) noise time series: 1deval -num 500 -expr 'gran(0,1)+(i-i)+0.7*z' > g07.1D Note the use of '(i-i)' to intoduce the variable 'i' so that 'z' would be used as the previous output value, rather than as the indeterminate variable generated by '-del' and '-start'. The initial value of 'z' is 0 (for the first evaluation). * [02 Apr 2010] You can set the initial value of 'z' to a nonzero value by using the environment variable AFNI_1DEVAL_ZZERO, as in 1deval -DAFNI_1DEVAL_ZZERO=1 -num 10 -expr 'i+z' -- RW Cox -- ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dfft
Usage: 1dfft [options] infile outfile where infile is an AFNI *.1D file (ASCII list of numbers arranged in columns); outfile will be a similar file, with the absolute value of the FFT of the input columns. The length of the file will be 1+(FFT length)/2. Options: -ignore sss = Skip the first 'sss' lines in the input file. [default = no skipping] -use uuu = Use only 'uuu' lines of the input file. [default = use them all, Frank] -nfft nnn = Set FFT length to 'nnn'. [default = length of data (# of lines used)] -tocx = Save Re and Im parts of transform in 2 columns. -fromcx = Convert 2 column complex input into 1 column real output. [-fromcx will not work if the original] [data FFT length was an odd number! :(] -hilbert = When -fromcx is used, the inverse FFT will do the Hilbert transform instead. -nodetrend = Skip the detrending of the input. Nota Bene: * Each input time series has any quadratic trend of the form 'a+b*t+c*t*t' removed before the FFT, where 't' is the line number. * The FFT length can be any positive even integer, but the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm will be slower if any prime factors of the FFT length are large (say > 997) Unless you are applying this program to VERY long files, this slowdown will probably not be appreciable. * If the FFT length is longer than the file length, the data is zero-padded to make up the difference. * Do NOT call the output of this program the Power Spectrum! That is something else entirely. * If 'outfile' is '-' (or missing), the output appears on stdout. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

As a palliative, if the input file name is '-', then the input numbers are read from stdin, so you could do something like the following: 1dcat mfile.1D'[1..6]' | 1dFlagMotion - e.g., to work with the output from 3dvolreg's '-dfile' option (where the first column is just the time index). ** The output is in a 1D format, with comments on '#' comment lines, and the list of points exceeding the motion bounds listed being intercalated on normal (non-comment) lines. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dgenARMA11
Program to generate an ARMA(1,1) time series, for simulation studies. Results are written to stdout.

The calculations in this program set correlations below a cutoff to zero. The default cutoff is 0.00010, but can be altered with this option. The usual reason to use this option is to test the sensitivity of the results to the cutoff.

AFNI program: 1dmatcalc
Usage: 1dmatcalc [-verb] expression Evaluate a space delimited RPN matrix-valued expression: * The operations are on a stack, each element of which is a real-valued matrix. * N.B.: This is a computer-science stack of separate matrices. If you want to join two matrices in separate files into one 'stacked' matrix, then you must use program 1dcat to join them as columns, or the system program cat to join them as rows. * You can also save matrices by name in an internal buffer using the '=NAME' operation and then retrieve them later using just the same NAME. * You can read and write matrices from files stored in ASCII columns (.1D format) using the &read and &write operations. * The following 5 operations, input as a single string, '&read(V.1D) &read(U.1D) &transp * &write(VUT.1D)' - reads matrices V and U from disk (separately), - transposes U (on top of the stack) into U', - multiplies V and U' (the two matrices on top of the stack), - and writes matrix VU' out (the matrix left on the stack by '*'). * Calculations are carried out in single precision ('float'). * Operations mostly contain characters such as '&' and '*' that are special to Unix shells, so you'll probably need to put the arguments to this program in 'single quotes'. * You can use '%%' or '@' in place of the '&' character, if you wish. STACK OPERATIONS ----------------- number == push scalar value (1x1 matrix) on stack; a number starts with a digit or a minus sign =NAME == save a copy matrix on top of stack as 'NAME' NAME == push a copy of NAME-ed matrix onto top of stack; names start with an alphabetic character &clear == erase all named matrices (to save memory); does not affect the stack at all &read(FF) == read ASCII (.1D) file onto top of stack from file 'FF' &read4x4Xform(FF) == Similar to &read(FF), except that it expects data for a 12-parameter spatial affine transform. FF can contain 12x1, 1x12, 16x1, 1x16, 3x4, or 4x4 values. The read operation loads the data into a 4x4 matrix r11 r12 r13 r14 r21 r22 r23 r24 r31 r32 r33 r34 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 This option was added to simplify the combination of linear spatial transformations. However, you are better off using cat_matvec for that purpose. &write(FF) == write top matrix to ASCII file to file 'FF'; if 'FF' == '-', writes to stdout &transp == replace top matrix with its transpose &ident(N) == push square identity matrix of order N onto stack N is an fixed integer, OR &R to indicate the row dimension of the current top matrix, OR &C to indicate the column dimension of the current top matrix, OR =X to indicate the (1,1) element of the matrix named X &Psinv == replace top matrix with its pseudo-inverse [computed via SVD, not via inv(A'*A)*A'] &Sqrt == replace top matrix with its square root [computed via Denman & Beavers iteration] N.B.: not all real matrices have real square roots, and &Sqrt will fail if you push it N.B.: the matrix must be square! &Pproj == replace top matrix with the projection onto its column space; Input=A; Output = A*Psinv(A) N.B.: result P is symmetric and P*P=P &Qproj == replace top matrix with the projection onto the orthogonal complement of its column space Input=A; Output=I-Pproj(A) * == replace top 2 matrices with their product; OR stack = [ ... C A B ] (where B = top) goes to &mult stack = [ ... C AB ] if either of the top matrices is a 1x1 scalar, then the result is the scalar multiplication of the other matrix; otherwise, matrices must conform + OR &add == replace top 2 matrices with sum A+B - OR &sub == replace top 2 matrices with difference A-B &dup == push duplicate of top matrix onto stack &pop == discard top matrix &swap == swap top two matrices (A <-> B) &Hglue == glue top two matrices together horizontally: stack = [ ... C A B ] goes to stack = [ ... C A|B ] this is like what program 1dcat does. &Vglue == glue top two matrices together vertically: stack = [ ... C A B ] goes to A stack = [ ... C - ] B this is like what program cat does.

It must contain one symbol from 'a' to 'z' which is marked as the independent variable by option '-indvar', and at least one more symbol which is a parameter to be estimated. ++ Expressions use the same syntax as 3dcalc, ccalc, and 1deval. ++ Note: expressions and symbols are not case sensitive. -indvar c d = Indicates which variable in '-expr' is the independent variable. All other symbols are parameters, which are either fixed (constants) or variables to be estimated. ++ Then, read the values of the independent variable from 1D file 'd' (only the first column will be used). ++ If the independent variable has a constant step size, you can input it via with 'd' replaced by a string like '1D: 100%0:2.1' which creates an array with 100 value, starting at 0, then adding 2.1 for each step: 0 2.1 4.2 6.3 8.4 ... -param ppp = Set fixed value or estimating range for a particular symbol. ++ For a fixed value, 'ppp' takes the form 'a=3.14', where the first letter is the symbol name, which must be followed by an '=', then followed by a constant expression. This expression can be symbolic, as in 'a=cbrt(3)'. ++ For a parameter to be estimated, 'ppp' takes the form of two constant expressions separated by a ':', as in 'q=-sqrt(2):sqrt(2)'. ++ All symbols in '-expr' must have a corresponding '-param' option, EXCEPT for the '-indvar' symbol (which will be set by its data file). -depdata v = Read the values of the dependent variable (to be fitted to '-expr') from 1D file 'v'. ++ File 'v' must have the same number of rows as file 'd' from the '-indvar' option! ++ File 'v' can have more than one column; each will be fitted separately to the expression. -meth m = Set the method for fitting: '1' for L1, '2' for L2. (The default method is L2, which is usually better.) Example: -------- Create a sin wave corrupted by logistic noise, to file ss.1D. Create a cos wave similarly, to file cc.1D. Put these files together into a 2 column file sc.1D. Fit both columns to a 3 parameter model and write the fits to file ff.1D. Plot the data and the fit together, for fun and profit(?). 1deval -expr 'sin(2*x)+lran(0.3)' -del 0.1 -num 100 > ss.1D 1deval -expr 'cos(2*x)+lran(0.3)' -del 0.1 -num 100 > cc.1D 1dcat ss.1D cc.1D > sc.1D ; \rm ss.1D cc.1D 1dNLfit -depdata sc.1D -indvar x '1D: 100%0:0.1' -expr 'a*sin(b*x)+c*cos(b*x)' \ -param a=-2:2 -param b=1:3 -param c=-2:2 > ff.1D 1dplot -one -del 0.1 -ynames sin:data cos:data sin:fit cos:fit - sc.1D ff.1D Notes: ------ * PLOT YOUR RESULTS! There is no guarantee that you'll get a good fit. * This program is not particularly efficient, so using it on a large scale (e.g., for lots of columns, or in a shell loop) will be slow. * The results (fitted time series models) are written to stdout, and should be saved by '>' redirection (as in the example). The first few lines of the output from the example are: # 1dNLfit output (meth=L2) # expr = a*sin(b*x)+c*cos(b*x) # Fitted parameters: # A = 1.0828 0.12786 # B = 1.9681 2.0208 # C = 0.16905 1.0102 # ----------- ----------- 0.16905 1.0102 0.37753 1.0153 0.57142 0.97907 * Coded by Zhark the Well-Fitted - during Snowzilla 2016.

AFNI program: 1dnorm
Usage: 1dnorm [options] infile outfile where infile is an AFNI *.1D file (ASCII list of numbers arranged in columns); outfile will be a similar file, with each column being L_2 normalized (sum of squares = 1). * If 'infile' is '-', it will be read from stdin. * If 'outfile' is '-', it will be written to stdout. Options: -------- -norm1 = Normalize so sum of absolute values is 1 (L_1 norm) -normx = So that max absolute value is 1 (L_infinity norm) -demean = Subtract each column's mean before normalizing -demed = Subtract each column's median before normalizing [-demean and -demed are mutually exclusive!] ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dplot
++ 1dplot: AFNI version=AFNI_19.3.16 (Dec 12 2019) [64-bit] ++ Authored by: RWC et al. Usage: 1dplot [options] tsfile ... Graphs the columns of a *.1D time series file to the X11 screen. ------- OPTIONS ------- -install = Install a new X11 colormap. -sep = Plot each column in a separate sub-graph. -one = Plot all columns together in one big graph. [default = -sep] -sepscl = Plot each column in a separate sub-graph and allow each sub-graph to have a different y-scale. -sepscl is meaningless with -one! -noline = Don't plot the connecting lines (also implies '-box'). -NOLINE = Same as '-noline', but will not try to plot values outside the rectangular box that contains the graph axes. -box = Plot a small 'box' at each data point, in addition to the lines connecting the points. * The box size can be set via the environment variable AFNI_1DPLOT_BOXSIZE; the value is a fraction of the overall plot size. The standard box size is 0.006. Example with a bigger box: 1dplot -DAFNI_1DPLOT_BOXSIZE=0.01 -box A.1D * The box shapes are different for different time series columns. At present, there is no way to control which shape is used for what column (unless you modify the source code, that is). * You can set environment variable AFNI_1DPLOT_RANBOX to YES to get the '-noline' boxes plotted in a pseudo-random order, so that one particular color doesn't dominate just because it is last in the plotting order; for example: 1dplot -DAFNI_1DPLOT_RANBOX=YES -one -x X.1D -noline Y1.1D Y2.1D Y3.1D -hist = Plot graphs in histogram style (i.e., vertical boxes). * Histograms can be generated from 3D or 1D files using program 3dhistog; for example 3dhistog -nbin 50 -notitle -min 0 -max .04 err.1D > eh.1D 1dplot -hist -x eh.1D'[0]' -xlabel err -ylabel hist eh.1D'[1]' or, for something a little more fun looking: 1dplot -one -hist -dashed 1:2 -x eh.1D'[0]' \ -xlabel err -ylabel hist eh.1D'[1]' eh.1D'[1]' ** The '-norm' options below can be useful for plotting data with different value ranges on top of each other via '-one': -norm2 = Independently scale each time series plotted to have L_2 norm = 1 (sum of squares). -normx = Independently scale each time series plotted to have max absolute value = 1 (L_infinity norm). -norm1 = Independently scale each time series plotted to have max sum of absolute values = 1 (L_1 norm). -demean = This option will remove the mean from each time series (before normalizing). The combination '-demean -normx -one' can be useful when plotting disparate data together. * If you use '-demean' twice, you will get linear detrending. * Et cetera (e.g,, 4 times gives you cubic detrending.) -x X.1D = Use for X axis the data in X.1D. Note that X.1D should have one column of the same length as the columns in tsfile. ** Coupled with '-box -noline', you can use '-x' to make a scatter plot, as in graphing file A1.1D along the x-axis and file A2.1D along the y-axis: 1dplot -box -noline -x A1.1D -xlabel A1 -ylabel A2 A2.1D ** '-x' will override -dx and -xzero; -xaxis still works -xl10 X.1D = Use log10(X.1D) as the X axis. -xmulti X1.1D X2.1D ... This new [Oct 2013] option allows you to plot different columns from the data with different values along the x-axis. You can supply one or more 1D files after the '-xmulti' option. The columns from these files are catenated, and then the first xmulti column is used as as x-axis values for the first data column plotted, the second xmulti column gives the x-axis values for the second data column plotted, and so on. ** The command line arguments after '-xmulti' are taken as 1D filenames to read, until an argument starts with a '-' character -- this would either be another option, or just a single '-' to separate the xmulti 1D files from the data files to be plotted. ** If you don't provide enough xmulti columns for all the data files, the last xmulti column will be re-used. ** Useless but fun example: 1deval -num 100 -expr '(i-i)+z+gran(0,6)' > X1.1D 1deval -num 100 -expr '(i-i)+z+gran(0,6)' > X2.1D 1dplot -one -box -xmulti X1.1D X2.1D - X2.1D X1.1D -dx xx = Spacing between points on the x-axis is 'xx' [default = 1] SYNONYMS: '-dt' and '-del' -xzero zz = Initial x coordinate is 'zz' [default = 0] SYNONYMS: '-tzero' and '-start' -nopush = Don't 'push' axes ranges outwards. -ignore nn = Skip first 'nn' rows in the input file [default = 0] -use mm = Plot 'mm' points [default = all of them] -xlabel aa = Put string 'aa' below the x-axis [default = no axis label] -ylabel aa = Put string 'aa' to the left of the y-axis [default = no axis label] -plabel pp = Put string 'pp' atop the plot. Some characters, such as '_' have special formatting effects. You can escape that with ''. For example: echo 2 4.5 -1 | 1dplot -plabel 'test_underscore' -stdin versus echo 2 4.5 -1 | 1dplot -plabel 'test\_underscore' -stdin -title pp = Same as -plabel, but only works with -ps/-png/-jpg/-pnm options. -wintitle pp = Set string 'pp' as the title of the frame containing the plot. Default is based on input. -naked = Do NOT plot axes or labels, just the graph(s). You might want to use '-nopush' with '-naked'. -aspect A = Set the width-to-height ratio of the plot region to 'A'. Default value is 1.3. Larger 'A' means a wider graph. -stdin = Don't read from tsfile; instead, read from stdin and plot it. You cannot combine input from stdin and tsfile(s). If you want to do so, use program 1dcat first. -ps = Don't draw plot in a window; instead, write it to stdout in PostScript format. * If you view the result in 'gv', you should turn 'anti-alias' off, and switch to landscape mode. * You can use the 'gs' program to convert PostScript to other formats; for example, a .bmp file: 1dplot -ps ~/data/verbal/cosall.1D | gs -r100 -sOutputFile=fred.bmp -sDEVICE=bmp256 -q -dBATCH - -jpg fname } = Render plot to an image and save to a file named -jpeg fname } = 'fname', in JPEG mode or in PNG mode or in PNM mode. -png fname } = The default image width is 1024 pixels; to change -pnm fname } = this value to 2000 pixels (say), do setenv AFNI_1DPLOT_IMSIZE 2000 before running 1dplot. Widths over 2000 may start to look odd, and will run more slowly. * PNG files will be smaller than JPEG, and are compressed without loss. * PNG output requires that the netpbm program pnmtopng be installed somewhere in your PATH. * PNM output files are not compressed, and are manipulable by the netpbm package: http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/ -pngs SIZE fname } = a convenience function equivalent to -jpgs SIZE fname } = setenv AFNI_1DPLOT_IMSIZE SIZE and -jpegs SIZE fname} = -png (or -jpg or -pnm) fname -pnms SIZE fname } -ytran 'expr' = Transform the data along the y-axis by applying the expression to each input value. For example: -ytran 'log10(z)' will take log10 of each input time series value before plotting it. * The expression should have one variable (any letter from a-z will do), which stands for the time series data to be transformed. * An expression such as 'sqrt(x*x+i)' will use 'x' for the time series value and use 'i' for the time index (starting at 0) -- in this way, you can use time-dependent transformations, if needed. * This transformation applies to all input time series (at present, there is no way to transform different time series in distinct ways inside 1dplot). * '-ytran' is applied BEFORE the various '-norm' options. -xtran 'expr' = Similar, but for the x-axis. ** Applies to '-xmulti' , '-x' , or the default x-axis. -xaxis b:t:n:m = Set the x-axis to run from value 'b' to value 't', with 'n' major divisions and 'm' minor tic marks per major division. For example: -xaxis 0:100:5:20 Setting 'n' to 0 means no tic marks or labels. * You can set 'b' to be greater than 't', to have the x-coordinate decrease from left-to-right. * This is the only way to have this effect in 1dplot. * In particular, '-dx' with a negative value will not work! -yaxis b:t:n:m = Similar to above, for the y-axis. These options override the normal autoscaling of their respective axes. -ynames a b ... = Use the strings 'a', 'b', etc., as labels to the right of the graphs, corresponding to each input column. These strings CANNOT start with the '-' character. N.B.: Each separate string after '-ynames' is taken to be a new label, until the end of the command line or until some string starts with a '-'. In particular, This means you CANNOT do something like 1dplot -ynames a b c file.1D since the input filename 'file.1D' will be used as a label string, not a filename. Instead, you must put another option between the end of the '-ynames' label list, OR you can put a single '-' at the end of the label list to signal its end: 1dplot -ynames a b c - file.1D TSV files: When plotting a TSV file, where the first row is the set of column labels, you can use this Unix trick to put the column labels here: -ynames `head -1 file.tsv` The 'head' command copies just the first line of the file to stdout, and the backquotes `...` capture stdout and put it onto the command line. * You might need to put a single '-' after this option to prevent the problem alluded to above. In any case, it can't hurt to use '-' as an option after '-ynames'. * If any of the TSV labels start with the '-' character, peculiar and unpleasant things might transpire. -volreg = Makes the 'ynames' be the same as the 6 labels used in plug_volreg for Roll, Pitch, Yaw, I-S, R-L, and A-P movements, in that order. -thick = Each time you give this, it makes the line thickness used for plotting a little larger. [An alternative to using '-DAFNI_1DPLOT_THIK=...'] -THICK = Twice the power of '-thick' at no extra cost!! -dashed codes = Plot dashed lines between data points. The 'codes' are a colon-separated list of dash values, which can be 1 (solid), 2 (longer dashes), or 3 (shorter dashes). ** Example: '-dashed 1:2:3' means to plot the first time series with solid lines, the second with long dashes, and the third with short dashes. -Dname=val = Set environment variable 'name' to 'val' for this run of the program only: 1dplot -DAFNI_1DPLOT_THIK=0.01 -DAFNI_1DPLOT_COLOR_01=blue '1D:3 4 5 3 1 0' You may also select a subset of columns to display using a tsfile specification like 'fred.1D[0,3,5]', indicating that columns #0, #3, and #5 will be the only ones plotted. For more details on this selection scheme, see the output of '3dcalc -help'. Example: graphing a 'dfile' output by 3dvolreg, when TR=5: 1dplot -volreg -dx 5 -xlabel Time 'dfile[1..6]' You can also input more than one tsfile, in which case the files will all be plotted. However, if the files have different column lengths, the shortest one will rule. The colors for the line graphs cycle between black, red, green, and blue. You can alter these colors by setting Unix environment variables of the form AFNI_1DPLOT_COLOR_xx -- cf. README.environment. You can alter the thickness of the lines by setting the variable AFNI_1DPLOT_THIK to a value between 0.00 and 0.05 -- the units are fractions of the page size; of course, you can also use the options '-thick' or '-THICK' if you prefer. ---------------- RENDERING METHOD ---------------- On 30 Apr 2012, a new method of rendering the 1dplot graph into an X11 window was introduced -- this method uses 'anti-aliasing' to produce smoother-looking lines and characters. If you want the old coarser-looking rendering method, set environment variable AFNI_1DPLOT_RENDEROLD to YES. The program always uses the new rendering method when drawing to a JPEG or PNG or PNM file (which is not and never has been just a screen capture). There is no way to disable the new rendering method for image-file saves. ------ LABELS ------ Besides normal alphabetic text, the various labels can include some special characters, using TeX-like escapes starting with '\'. Also, the '^' and '_' characters denote super- and sub-scripts, respectively. The following command shows many of the escapes: 1deval -num 100 -expr 'J0(t/4)' | 1dplot -stdin -thick \ -xlabel '\alpha\beta\gamma\delta\epsilon\zeta\eta^{\oplus\dagger}\times c' \ -ylabel 'Bessel Function \green J_0(t/4)' \ -plabel '\Upsilon\Phi\Chi\Psi\Omega\red\leftrightarrow\blue\partial^{2}f/\partial x^2' TIMESERIES (1D) INPUT --------------------- A timeseries file is in the form of a 1D or 2D table of ASCII numbers; for example: 3 5 7 2 4 6 0 3 3 7 2 9 This example has 4 rows and 3 columns. Each column is considered as a timeseries in AFNI. The convention is to store this type of data in a filename ending in '.1D'. ** COLUMN SELECTION WITH [] ** When specifying a timeseries file to an command-line AFNI program, you can select a subset of columns using the '[...]' notation: 'fred.1D[5]' ==> use only column #5 'fred.1D[5,9,17]' ==> use columns #5, #9, and #17 'fred.1D[5..8]' ==> use columns #5, #6, #7, and #8 'fred.1D[5..13(2)]' ==> use columns #5, #7, #9, #11, and #13 Column indices start at 0. You can use the character '$' to indicate the last column in a 1D file; for example, you can select every third column in a 1D file by using the selection list 'fred.1D[0..$(3)]' ==> use columns #0, #3, #6, #9, .... ** ROW SELECTION WITH {} ** Similarly, you select a subset of the rows using the '{...}' notation: 'fred.1D{0..$(2)}' ==> use rows #0, #2, #4, .... You can also use both notations together, as in 'fred.1D[1,3]{1..$(2)}' ==> columns #1 and #3; rows #1, #3, #5, .... ** DIRECT INPUT OF DATA ON THE COMMAND LINE WITH 1D: ** You can also input a 1D time series 'dataset' directly on the command line, without an external file. The 'filename' for such input has the general format '1D:n_1@val_1,n_2@val_2,n_3@val_3,...' where each 'n_i' is an integer and each 'val_i' is a float. For example -a '1D:5@0,10@1,5@0,10@1,5@0' specifies that variable 'a' be assigned to a 1D time series of 35, alternating in blocks between values 0 and value 1. * Spaces or commas can be used to separate values. * A '|' character can be used to start a new input "line": Try 1dplot '1D: 3 4 3 5 | 3 5 4 3' ** TRANSPOSITION WITH \' ** Finally, you can force most AFNI programs to transpose a 1D file on input by appending a single ' character at the end of the filename. N.B.: Since the ' character is also special to the shell, you'll probably have to put a \ character before it. Examples: 1dplot '1D: 3 2 3 4 | 2 3 4 3' and 1dplot '1D: 3 2 3 4 | 2 3 4 3'\' When you have reached this level of understanding, you are ready to take the AFNI Jedi Master test. I won't insult you by telling you where to find this examination. TAB SEPARATED VALUE (.tsv) FILES [Sep 2018] ------------------------------------------- These files are used in BIDS http://bids.neuroimaging.io and AFNI programs can read these in a few places. The format of a .tsv file is a set of columns, where the values in each row are separated by tab characters -- spaces are NOT separators. Each element is string, some of which are numeric (e.g. 3.1416). The first row of a .tsv file is a set of strings which are column desciptors (separated by tabs, of course). For the most part, the following data in each column are exclusively numeric or exclusively strings. Strings can contain blanks/spaces since only tabs are used to separate values. A .tsv file can be read in most places where a .1D file is read. However, columns (after the header row) that are not purely numeric will be ignored, since the internal usage of .1D data in AFNI is numeric. Thus, you can do something like 1dplot -nopush -sepscl sub-10506_task-pamenc_events.tsv and you will get a plot of all the numeric columns in this BIDS file. Column selection '[]' can be done, using numbers to specify columns or using the column labels in the .tsv file. N.B.: The string 'N/A' or 'n/a' in a column that is otherwise numeric will be considered to be a number, and will be replaced on input with the mean of the "true" numbers in the column -- there is no concept of missing data in an AFNI .1D file. ++ If you don't like this, well ... too bad for you. Program 1dcat has special knowledge of .tsv files, and will cat (sideways - along rows) .tsv and .1D files together. It also has an option to write the output in .tsv format. For example, to get the 'onset', 'duration', and 'trial_type' columns out of a BIDS task .tsv file, a command like this could be used: 1dcat sub-10506_task-pamenc_events.tsv'[onset,duration,trial_type]' Note that the column headers are lost in this output, but could be kept if the 1dcat '-tsvout' option were used. In reverse, a numeric .1D file can be converted to .tsv format by a command like: 1dcat -tsvout Fred.1D In this case, since a the data for .1D file doesn't have headers for its columns, 1dcat will invent some column names. At this time, other programs don't 'know' much about .tsv files, and will ignore the header row and non-numeric columns when reading a .tsv file. in place of a .1D file. -------------- MARKING BLOCKS (e.g., censored time points) -------------- The following options let you mark blocks along the x-axis, by drawing colored vertical boxes over the standard white background. * The intended use is to mark blocks of time points that are censored out of an analysis, which is why the options are the same as those in 3dDeconvolve -- but you can mark blocks for any reason, of course. * These options don't do anything when the '-x' option is used to alter the x-axis spacings. * To see what the various color markings look like, try this silly example: 1deval -num 100 -expr 'lran(2)' > zz.1D 1dplot -thick -censor_RGB red -CENSORTR 3-8 \ -censor_RGB green -CENSORTR 11-16 \ -censor_RGB blue -CENSORTR 22-27 \ -censor_RGB yellow -CENSORTR 34-39 \ -censor_RGB violet -CENSORTR 45-50 \ -censor_RGB pink -CENSORTR 55-60 \ -censor_RGB gray -CENSORTR 65-70 \ -censor_RGB #2cf -CENSORTR 75-80 \ -plabel 'red green blue yellow violet pink gray #2cf' zz.1D & -censor_RGB clr = set the color used for the marking to 'clr', which can be one of the strings below: red green blue yellow violet pink gray (OR grey) * OR 'clr' can be in the form '#xyz' or '#xxyyzz', where 'x', 'y', and 'z' are hexadecimal digits -- for example, '#2cf' is sort of a cyan color. * OR 'clr' can be in the form 'rgbi:rf/gf/bf' where each color intensity (rf, gf, bf) is a number between 0.0 and 1.0 -- e.g., white is 'rgbi:1.0/1.0/1.0'. Since the background is white, dark colors don't look good here, and will obscure the graphs; for example, pink is defined here as 'rgbi:1.0/0.5/0.5'. * The default color is (a rather pale) yellow. * You can use '-censor_RGB' more than once. The color most recently specified previous on the command line is what will be used with the '-censor' and '-CENSORTR' options. This allows you to mark different blocks with different colors (e.g., if they were censored for different reasons). * The feature of allowing multiple '-censor_RGB' options means that you must put this option BEFORE the relevant '-censor' and/or '-CENSORTR' options. Otherwise, you'll get the default yellow color! -censor cname = cname is the filename of censor .1D time series * This is a file of 1s and 0s, indicating which time points are to be un-marked (1) and which are to be marked (0). * Please note that only one '-censor' option can be used, for compatibility with 3dDeconvolve. * The option below may be simpler to use! (And can be used multiple times.) -CENSORTR clist = clist is a list of strings that specify time indexes to be marked in the graph(s). Each string is of one of the following forms: 37 => mark global time index #37 2:37 => mark time index #37 in run #2 37..47 => mark global time indexes #37-47 37-47 => same as above *:0-2 => mark time indexes #0-2 in all runs 2:37..47 => mark time indexes #37-47 in run #2 * Time indexes within each run start at 0. * Run indexes start at 1 (just be to confusing). * Multiple -CENSORTR options may be used, or multiple -CENSORTR strings can be given at once, separated by spaces or commas. * Each argument on the command line after '-CENSORTR' is treated as a censoring string, until an argument starts with a '-' or an alphabetic character, or it contains the substring '1D'. This means that if you want to plot a file named '9zork.xyz', you may have to do this: 1dplot -CENSORTR 3-7 18-22 - 9zork.xyz The stand-alone '-' will stop the processing of censor strings; otherwise, the '9zork.xyz' string, since it doesn't start with a letter, would be treated as a censoring string, which you would find confusing. ** N.B.: 2:37,47 means index #37 in run #2 and global time index 47; it does NOT mean index #37 in run #2 AND index #47 in run #2. -concat rname = rname is the filename for list of concatenated runs * 'rname' can be in the format '1D: 0 100 200 300' which indicates 4 runs, the first of which starts at time index=0, second at index=100, and so on. * The ONLY function of '-concat' is for use with '-CENSORTR', to be compatible with 3dDeconvolve [e.g., for plotting motion parameters from] [3dvolreg -1Dfile, where you've cat-enated] [the 1D files from separate runs into one ] [long file for plotting with this program.] -rbox x1 y1 x2 y2 color1 color2 = Draw a rectangular box with corners (x1,y1) to (x2,y2), in color1, with an outline in color2. Colors are names, such as 'green'. [This option lets you make bar] [charts, *if* you care enough.] -Rbox x1 y1 x2 y2 y3 color1 color2 = As above, with an extra horizontal line at y3. -line x1 y1 x2 y2 color dashcode = Draw one line segment. Another fun fun example: 1dplot -censor_RGB #ffa -CENSORTR '0-99' \ `1deval -1D: -num 61 -dx 0.3 -expr 'J0(x)'` which illustrates the use of 'censoring' to mark the entire graph background in pale yellow '#ffa', and also illustrates the use of the '-1D:' option in 1deval to produce output that can be used directly on the command line, via the backquote `...` operator. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dplot.py
OVERVIEW ~1~ This program is for making images to visualize columns of numbers from "1D" text files. It is based heavily on RWCox's 1dplot program, just using Python (particularly matplotlib). To use this program, Python version >=2.7 is required, as well as matplotlib modules (someday numpy might be needed, as well). This program takes very few required options-- mainly, file names and an output prefix-- but it allows the user to control/add many features, such as axis labels, titles, colors, adding in censor information, plotting summary boxplots and more. ++ constructed by PA Taylor (NIMH, NIH, USA). # ========================================================================= COMMAND OPTIONS ~1~ -help, -h :see helpfile -infiles II :(req) one or more file names of text files. Each column in this file will be treated as a separate time series for plotting (i.e., as 'y-values'). One can use AFNI-style column '{ }' and row '[ ]' selectors. One or more files may be entered, but they must all be of equal length. -yfiles YY :exactly the same behavior as "-infiles ..", just another option name for it that might be more consistent with other options. -prefix PP :output filename or prefix; if no file extension for an image is included in 'PP', one will be added from a list. At present, OK file types to output should include: .jpg, .png, .tif, .pdf ... but note that the kinds of image files you may output may be limited by packages (or lack thereof) installed on your own computer. Default output image type is .jpg -boxplot_on :a fun feature to show an small, additional boxplot adjacent to each time series. The plot is a standard Python boxplot of that times series's values. The box shows the 25-75%ile range (interquartile range, IQR); the median value highlighted by a white line; whiskers stretch to 1.5*IQR; circles show outliers. When using this option and censoring, by default both a boxplot of data "before censoring" (BC) and "after censoring (AC) will be added after. See '-bplot_view ...' about current opts to change that, if desired. -bplot_view BC_ONLY | AC_ONLY :when using '-boxplot_on' and censoring, by default the plotter will put one boxplot of data "before censoring" (BC) and after censoring (AC). To show *only* the uncensored one, use this option and keyword. -margin_off :use this option to have the plot frame fill the figure window completely; thus, no labels, frame, titles or other parts of the 'normal' image outside the plot window will be visible. Tick lines will still be present, living their best lives. This is probably only useful/recommended/tested for plots with a single panel. -scale SCA1 SCA2 SCA3 ... :provide a list of scales to apply to the y-values. These will be applied multiplicatively to the y-values; there should either be 1 (applied to all time series) or the same number as the time series (in the same order as those were entered). The scale values are also applied to the censor_hline values, but *not* to the "-yaxis ..." range(s). Note that there are a couple keywords that can be used instead of SCA* values: SCALE_TO_HLINE: each input time series is vertically scaled so that its censor_hline -> 1. That is, each time point is divided by the censor_hline value. When using this, a visually pleasing yaxis range might be 0:3. SCALE_TO_MAX: each input time series is vertically scaled so that its max value -> 1. That is, each time point is divided by the max value. When using this, a visually pleasing yaxis range might be 0:1.1. -xfile XX :one way to input x-values explicitly: as a "1D" file XX, a containing a single file of numbers. If no xfile is entered, then a list of integers is created, 0..N-1, based on the length of the "-infiles ..". -xvals START STOP STEP :an alternative means for entering abscissa values: one can provide exactly 3 numbers, the start (inclusive) the stop (exclusive) and the steps to take, following Python conventions-- that is, numbers are generated [START,STOP) in stepsizes of STEP. -yaxis YMIN1:YMAX1 YMIN2:YMAX2 YMIN3:YMAX3 ... :optional range for each "infile" y-axis; note the use of a colon to designate the min/max of the range. One can also specify just the min (e.g., "YMIN:") or just the max (e.g., ":YMAX"). The final number of y-axis values or pairs *must* match the total number of columns of data from infiles; a placeholder could just be ":". Without specifying a range, one is calculated automatically from the min and max of the dsets themselves. The order of ylabels should match the order of infiles. -ylabels YL1 YL2 YL3 ... :optional text labels for each "infile" column; the final number of ylabels *must* match the total number of columns of data from infiles. For 1D files output by 3dvolreg, one can automatically provide the 6 associated ylabels by providing the keyword 'VOLREG' (and this counts as 6 labels). The order of ylabels should match the order of infiles. -xlabel XL :optional text labels for the abscissa/x-axis. Only one may be entered, and it will *only* be displayed on the bottom panel of the output plot. Using labels is good practice!! -title TT :optional title for the set of plots, placed above the top- most subplot -reverse_order :optional switch; by default, the entered time series are plotted top to bottom according to the order they were entered (i.e., first- listed plot at the top). This option reverses that order (to first-listed plot at the bottom), in order to match with 1dplot's behavior. -sepscl :make each graph have its own y-range, determined by slightly padding its min and max values. By default, the separate plots all have the same y-range, which is determined by taking the min-of-mins and max-of- maxes, and padding slightly outward. -dpi DDD :choose the output image's DPI. The default value is 150. -figsize FX FY :choose the output image's dimensions (units are inches). The default width is 10; the default height is 0.5 + N*0.75, where 'N' is the number of infile columns. -fontsize FS :change image fontsize; default is 10. -fontfamily FF :change font-family used; default is the luvly monospace. -fontstyles FSS :add in a fontname; should match with chosen font-family; default is whatever Python has on your system for the given family. Whether your prescribed font gets used depends on what is installed on your comp. -colors C1 C2 C3 ... :you can decide what color(s) to cycle through in plots (enter one or more); if there are more infile columns than entered colors, the program just keeps cycling through the list. By default, if only 1 infile column is given, the plotline will be black; when more than one infile column is given, a default palette of 10 colors, chosen for their mutual-distinguishable-ness, will be cycled through. -patches RL1 RL2 RL3 ... :when viewing data from multiple runs that have been processing+concatenated, knowing where they start/stop can be useful. This option helps with that, by alternating patches of the background slightly between white and light gray. The user enters any appropriate number of run lengths, and the background patch for the duration of the first is white, then light gray, etc. (to *start* with light gray, one can have '0' be the first RL value). -censor_trs CS1 CS2 CS3 ... :specify time points where censoring has occured (e.g., due to a motion or outlier criterion). With this option, the values are entered using AFNI index notation, such as '0..3,8,25,99..$'. Note that if you use special characters like the '$', then the given string must be enclosed on quotes. One or more string can be entered, and results are simply combined (as well as if censor files are entered-- see the '-censor_files ..' opt). In order to highlight censored points, a translucent background color will be added to all plots of width 1. -censor_files CF1 CF2 CF3 ... :specify time points where censoring has occured (e.g., due to a motion or outlier criterion). With this option, the values are entered as 1D files, columns where 0 indicates censoring at that [i]th time point, and 1 indicates *no* censoring there. One or more file can be entered, and results are simply combined (as well as if censor strings are entered-- see the '-censor_str ..' opt). In order to highlight censored points, a translucent background color will be added to all plots of width 1. -censor_hline CH1 CH2 CH3 ... :one can add a dotted horizontal line to the plot, with the intention that it represents the relevant threshold (for example, motion limit or outlier fraction limit). One can specify more than one hline: if one line is entered, it will be applied to each plot; if more than one hline is entered, there must be the same number of values as infile columns. Ummm, it is also assumed that all censor hline values are >=0; if negative, it will be a problem-- ask if this is a problem! -censor_RGB COL :choose the color of the censoring background; default is: [1, 0.7, 0.7]. -bkgd_color BC :change the background color outside of the plot windows. Default is the Python color: 0.9.

AFNI program: 1dSEM
Usage: 1dSEM [options] -theta 1dfile -C 1dfile -psi 1dfile -DF nn.n Computes path coefficients for connection matrix in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) The program takes as input : 1. A 1D file with an initial representation of the connection matrix with a 1 for each interaction component to be modeled and a 0 if if it is not to be modeled. This matrix should be PxP rows and column 2. A 1D file of the C, correlation matrix, also with dimensions PxP 3. A 1D file of the residual variance vector, psi 4. The degrees of freedom, DF Output is printed to the terminal and may be redirected to a 1D file The path coefficient matrix is printed for each matrix computed Options: -theta file.1D = connection matrix 1D file with initial representation -C file.1D = correlation matrix 1D file -psi file.1D = residual variance vector 1D file -DF nn.n = degrees of freedom -max_iter n = maximum number of iterations for convergence (Default=10000). Values can range from 1 to any positive integer less than 10000. -nrand n = number of random trials before optimization (Default = 100) -limits m.mmm n.nnn = lower and upper limits for connection coefficients (Default = -1.0 to 1.0) -calccost = no modeling at all, just calculate the cost function for the coefficients as given in the theta file. This may be useful for verifying published results -verbose nnnnn = print info every nnnnn steps Model search options: Look for best model. The initial connection matrix file must follow these specifications. Each entry must be 0 for entries excluded from the model, 1 for each required entry in the minimum model, 2 for each possible path to try. -tree_growth or -model_search = search for best model by growing a model for one additional coefficient from the previous model for n-1 coefficients. If the initial theta matrix has no required coefficients, the initial model will grow from the best model for a single coefficient -max_paths n = maximum number of paths to include (Default = 1000) -stop_cost n.nnn = stop searching for paths when cost function is below this value (Default = 0.1) -forest_growth or -grow_all = search over all possible models by comparing models at incrementally increasing number of path coefficients. This algorithm searches all possible combinations; for the number of coeffs this method can be exceptionally slow, especially as the number of coefficients gets larger, for example at n>=9. -leafpicker = relevant only for forest growth searches. Expands the search optimization to look at multiple paths to avoid local minimum. This method is the default technique for tree growth and standard coefficient searches This program uses a Powell optimization algorithm to find the connection coefficients for any particular model.

The 1D file can have leading columns for labels that will be used in the output. Label rows must be commented with the # symbol If using any of the model search options, the theta file should have a '1' for each required coefficient, '0' for each excluded coefficient, '2' for an optional coefficient. Excluded coefficients are not modeled. Required coefficients are included in every computed model. N.B. - Connection directionality in the path connection matrices is from column to row of the output connection coefficient matrices. Be very careful when interpreting those path coefficients. First of all, they are not correlation coefficients. Suppose we have a network with a path connecting from region A to region B. The meaning of the coefficient theta (e.g., 0.81) is this: if region A increases by one standard deviation from its mean, region B would be expected to increase by 0.81 its own standard deviations from its own mean while holding all other relevant regional connections constant. With a path coefficient of -0.16, when region A increases by one standard deviation from its mean, region B would be expected to decrease by 0.16 its own standard deviations from its own mean while holding all other relevant regional connections constant. So theoretically speaking the range of the path coefficients can be anything, but most of the time they range from -1 to 1. To save running time, the default values for -limits are set with -1 and 1, but if the result hits the boundary, increase them and re-run the analysis.

AFNI program: 1dsound
Usage: 1dsound [options] tsfile Program to create a sound file from a 1D file (column of numbers). Is this program useful? Probably not, but it can be fun. ------- OPTIONS ------- ===== output filename ===== -prefix ppp = Output filename will be ppp.au [Sun audio format https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_file_format] + If you don't use '-prefix', the output is file 'sound.au'. + If 'ppp' ends in '.au', this program won't add another '.au. ===== encoding details ===== -16PCM = Output in 16-bit linear PCM encoding (uncompressed) + Less quantization noise (audible hiss) :) + Takes twice as much disk space for output as 8-bit output :( +++ This is the default method now! + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation -8PCM = Output in 8-bit linear PCM encoding + There is no good reason to use this option. -8ulaw = Output in 8-bit mu-law encoding. + Provides a little better quality than -8PCM, but still has audible quantization noise hiss. + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-law_algorithm -tper X = X seconds of sound per time point in 'tsfile'. -TR X Allowed range for 'X' is 0.01 to 1.0 (inclusive). -dt X [default time step is 0.2 s] You can use '-tper', '-dt', or '-TR', as you like. ===== how the sound timeseries is produced from the data timeseries ===== -FM = Output sound is frequency modulated between 110 and 1760 Hz from min to max in the input 1D file. + Usually 'sounds terrible'. + The only reason this is here is that it was the first method I implemented, and I kept it for the sake of nostalgia. -notes = Output sound is a sequence of notes, low to high pitch based on min to max in the input 1D file. +++ This is the default method of operation. + A pentatonic scale is used, which usually 'sounds nice': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatonic_scale -notewave W = Selects the shape of the notes used. 'W' is one of these: -waveform W sine = pure sine wave (sounds simplistic) sqsine = square root of sine wave (a little harsh and loud) square = square wave (a lot harsh and loud) triangle = triangle wave [the default waveform] -despike = apply a simple despiking algorithm, to avoid the artifact of one very large or small value making all the other notes end up being the same. ===== Notes about notes ===== ** At this time, the default production method is '-notes', ** ** using the triangle waveform (I like this best). ** ** With '-notes', up to 6 columns of the input file will be used ** ** to produce a polyphonic sound (in a single channel). ** ** (Any columns past the 6th in the input 'tsfile' are ignored.) ** ===== hear the sound right away! ===== -play = Plays the sound file after it is written. On this computer: uses program /usr/bin/mplayer ===>> Playing sound on a remote computer is annoying, pointless, and likely to get you punched. -------- EXAMPLES -------- The first 2 examples are purely synthetic, using 'data' files created on the command line.

See this for more information: http://sox.sourceforge.net/soxformat.html * Creation of the file does not depend on sox, so if you have another way to play .au files, you can use that. * Mac OS X: Quicktime (GUI) or afplay (command line) programs. + sox can be installed by first installing 'brew' -- see https://brew.sh/ -- and then using command 'brew install sox'. * Linux: Getting sox is probably the simplest thing to do. + Or install the mplayer package (which also does videos). + Another possibility is the aplay program. * The audio output file is sampled at 16K bytes per second. For example, a 30 second file will be 960K bytes in size, at 16 bits per sample. * The auditory effect varies significantly with the '-tper' parameter X; '-tper 0.02' is very different than '-tper 0.4'. --- Quick hack for experimentation and fun - RWCox - Aug 2018 ---

OPTIONS: -one = Make 1st vector be all 1's. -vmean = Remove mean from each vector (can't be used with -one). -vnorm = Make L2-norm of each vector = 1 before SVD. * The above 2 options mirror those in 3dpc. -cond = Only print condition number (ratio of extremes) -sing = Only print singular values * To compare the singular values from 1dsvd with those from 3dDeconvolve you must use the -vnorm option with 1dsvd. For example, try 3dDeconvolve -nodata 200 1 -polort 5 -num_stimts 1 \ -stim_times 1 '1D: 30 130' 'BLOCK(50,1)' -singvals 1dsvd -sing -vnorm nodata.xmat.1D -sort = Sort singular values (descending) [the default] -nosort = Don't bother to sort the singular values -asort = Sort singular values (ascending) -1Dleft = Only output left eigenvectors, in a .1D format This might be useful for reducing the number of columns in a design matrix. The singular values are printed at the top of each vector column, as a '#...' comment line. -nev n = If -1Dleft is used, '-nev' specifies to output only the first 'n' eigenvectors, rather than all of them. * If you are a tricky person, such as Souheil, you can put a '%' after the value, and then you are saying keep eigenvectors until at least n% of the sum of singular values is accounted for. In this usage, 'n' must be a number less than 100; for example, to reduce a matrix down to a smaller set of columns that capture most of its column space, try something like 1dsvd -1Dleft -nev 99% Xorig.1D > X99.1D EXAMPLE: 1dsvd -vmean -vnorm -1Dleft fred.1D'[1..6]' | 1dplot -stdin NOTES: * Call the input n X m matrix [A] (n rows, m columns). The SVD is the factorization [A] = [U] [S] [V]' ('=transpose), where - [U] is an n x m matrix (whose columns are the 'Left vectors') - [S] is a diagonal m x m matrix (the 'singular values') - [V] is an m x m matrix (whose columns are the 'Right vectors') * The default output of the program is - An echo of the input [A] - The [U] matrix, each column headed by its singular value - The [V] matrix, each column headed by its singular value (please note that [V] is output, not [V]') - The pseudo-inverse of [A] * This program was written simply for some testing purposes, but is distributed with AFNI because it might be useful-ish. * Recall that you can transpose a .1D file on input by putting an escaped ' character after the filename. For example, 1dsvd fred.1D\' You can use this feature to get around the fact that there is no '-1Dright' option. If you understand. * For more information on the SVD, you can start at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_value_decomposition * Author: Zhark the Algebraical (Linear). ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1d_tool.py
============================================================================= 1d_tool.py - for manipulating and evaluating 1D files --------------------------------------------------------------------------- purpose: ~1~ This program is meant to read/manipulate/write/diagnose 1D datasets. Input can be specified using AFNI sub-brick[]/time{} selectors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- examples (very basic for now): ~1~ Example 1. Select by rows and columns, akin to 1dcat. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile 'data/X.xmat.1D[0..3]{0..5}' -write t1.1D Example 2. Compare with selection by separate options. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile data/X.xmat.1D \ -select_cols '0..3' -select_rows '0..5' \ -write t2.1D diff t1.1D t2.1D Example 2b. Select or remove columns by label prefixes. ~2~ Keep only bandpass columns: 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -write X.bandpass.1D \ -label_prefix_keep bandpass Remove only bandpass columns (maybe for 3dRFSC): 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -write X.no.bandpass.1D \ -label_prefix_drop bandpass Keep polort columns (start with 'Run') motion shifts ('d') and labels starting with 'a' and 'b'. But drop 'bandpass' columns: 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -write X.weird.1D \ -label_prefix_keep Run d a b \ -label_prefix_drop bandpass Example 2c. Select columns by group values, 3 examples. ~2~ First be sure of what the group labels represent. 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_group_labels i) Select polort (group -1) and other baseline (group 0) terms. 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -select_groups -1 0 -write baseline.1D ii) Select everything but baseline groups (anything positive). 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -select_groups POS -write regs.of.int.1D iii) Reorder to have rests of interest, then motion, then polort. 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -select_groups POS 0, -1 -write order.1D iv) Create stim-only X-matrix file: select non-baseline columns of X-matrix and write with header comment. 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -select_groups POS \ -write_with_header yes -write X.stim.xmat.1D Or, using a convenience option: 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -write_xstim X.stim.xmat.1D Example 2d. Select specific runs from the input. ~2~ Note that X.xmat.1D may have runs defined automatically, but for an arbitrary input, they may need to be specified via -set_run_lengths. i) .... apparently I forgot to do this... 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -write X.bandpass.1D \ Example 3. Transpose a dataset, akin to 1dtranspose. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile t3.1D -transpose -write ttr.1D Example 4a. Zero-pad a single-run 1D file across many runs. ~2~ Given a file of regressors (for example) across a single run (run 2), created a new file that is padded with zeros, so that it now spans many (7) runs. Runs are 1-based here. 1d_tool.py -infile ricor_r02.1D -pad_into_many_runs 2 7 \ -write ricor_r02_all.1D Example 4b. Similar to 4a, but specify varying TRs per run. ~2~ The number of runs must match the number of run_lengths parameters. 1d_tool.py -infile ricor_r02.1D -pad_into_many_runs 2 7 \ -set_run_lengths 64 61 67 61 67 61 67 \ -write ricor_r02_all.1D Example 5. Display small details about a 1D dataset: ~2~ a. Display number of rows and columns for a 1D dataset. Note: to display them "quietly" (only the numbers), add -verb 0. This is useful for setting a script variable. 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_rows_cols 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_rows_cols -verb 0 b. Display indices of regressors of interest. 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_indices_interest c. Display labels by group. 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_group_labels d. Display "degree of freedom" information: 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_df_info Example 6a. Show correlation matrix warnings for this matrix. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_cormat_warnings Example 6b. Show entire correlation matrix. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_cormat Example 7a. Output temporal derivative of motion regressors. ~2~ There are 9 runs in dfile_rall.1D, and derivatives are applied per run. 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -set_nruns 9 \ -derivative -write motion.deriv.1D Example 7b. Similar to 7a, but let the run lengths vary. ~2~ The sum of run lengths should equal the number of time points. 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D \ -set_run_lengths 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 \ -derivative -write motion.deriv.rlens.1D Example 7c. Use forward differences. ~2~ instead of the default backward differences... 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D \ -set_run_lengths 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 \ -forward_diff -write motion.deriv.rlens.1D Example 8. Verify whether labels show slice-major ordering. This is where all slice0 regressors come first, then all slice1 regressors, etc. Either show the labels and verify visually, or print whether it is true. 1d_tool.py -infile scan_2.slibase.1D'[0..12]' -show_labels 1d_tool.py -infile scan_2.slibase.1D -show_labels 1d_tool.py -infile scan_2.slibase.1D -show_label_ordering Example 9a. Given motion.1D, create an Enorm time series. ~2~ Take the derivative (ignoring run breaks) and the Euclidean Norm, and write as e.norm.1D. This might be plotted to show show sudden motion as a single time series. 1d_tool.py -infile motion.1D -set_nruns 9 \ -derivative -collapse_cols euclidean_norm \ -write e.norm.1D Example 9b. Like 9a, but supposing the run lengths vary (still 576 TRs). ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile motion.1D \ -set_run_lengths 64 61 67 61 67 61 67 61 67 \ -derivative -collapse_cols euclidean_norm \ -write e.norm.rlens.1D Example 9c. Like 9b, but weight the rotations as 0.9 mm. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile motion.1D \ -set_run_lengths 64 61 67 61 67 61 67 61 67 \ -derivative -collapse_cols weighted_enorm \ -weight_vec .9 .9 .9 1 1 1 \ -write e.norm.weighted.1D Example 10. Given motion.1D, create censor files to use in 3dDeconvolve. ~2~ Here a TR is censored if the derivative values have a Euclidean Norm above 1.2. It is common to also censor each previous TR, as motion may span both (previous because "derivative" is actually a backward difference). The file created by -write_censor can be used with 3dD's -censor option. The file created by -write_CENSORTR can be used with -CENSORTR. They should have the same effect in 3dDeconvolve. The CENSORTR file is more readable, but the censor file is better for plotting against the data. a. general example ~3~ 1d_tool.py -infile motion.1D -set_nruns 9 \ -derivative -censor_prev_TR \ -collapse_cols euclidean_norm \ -moderate_mask -1.2 1.2 \ -show_censor_count \ -write_censor subjA_censor.1D \ -write_CENSORTR subjA_CENSORTR.txt b. using -censor_motion ~3~ The -censor_motion option is available, which implies '-derivative', '-collapse_cols euclidean_norm', 'moderate_mask -LIMIT LIMIT', and the prefix for '-write_censor' and '-write_CENSORTR' output files. This option will also result in subjA_enorm.1D being written, which is the euclidean norm of the derivative, before the extreme mask is applied. 1d_tool.py -infile motion.1D -set_nruns 9 \ -show_censor_count \ -censor_motion 1.2 subjA \ -censor_prev_TR c. allow the run lengths to vary ~3~ 1d_tool.py -infile motion.1D \ -set_run_lengths 64 61 67 61 67 61 67 61 67 \ -show_censor_count \ -censor_motion 1.2 subjA_rlens \ -censor_prev_TR Consider also '-censor_prev_TR' and '-censor_first_trs'. Example 11. Demean the data. Use motion parameters as an example. ~2~ The demean operation is done per run (default is 1 when 1d_tool.py does not otherwise know). a. across all runs (if runs are not known from input file) 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -demean -write motion.demean.a.1D b. per run, over 9 runs of equal length 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -set_nruns 9 \ -demean -write motion.demean.b.1D c. per run, over 9 runs of varying length 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D \ -set_run_lengths 64 61 67 61 67 61 67 61 67 \ -demean -write motion.demean.c.1D Example 12. "Uncensor" the data, zero-padding previously censored TRs. ~2~ Note that an X-matrix output by 3dDeconvolve contains censor information in GoodList, which is the list of uncensored TRs. a. if the input dataset has censor information 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -censor_fill -write X.uncensored.1D b. if censor information needs to come from a parent 1d_tool.py -infile sum.ideal.1D -censor_fill_parent X.xmat.1D \ -write sum.ideal.uncensored.1D c. if censor information needs to come from a simple 1D time series 1d_tool.py -censor_fill_parent motion_FT_censor.1D \ -infile cdata.1D -write cdata.zeropad.1D Example 13. Show whether the input file is valid as a numeric data file. ~2~ a. as any generic 1D file 1d_tool.py -infile data.txt -looks_like_1D b. as a 1D stim_file, of 3 runs of 64 TRs (TR is irrelevant) 1d_tool.py -infile data.txt -looks_like_1D \ -set_run_lengths 64 64 64 c. as a stim_times file with local times 1d_tool.py -infile data.txt -looks_like_local_times \ -set_run_lengths 64 64 64 -set_tr 2 d. as a 1D or stim_times file with global times 1d_tool.py -infile data.txt -looks_like_global_times \ -set_run_lengths 64 64 64 -set_tr 2 e. report modulation type (amplitude and/or duration) 1d_tool.py -infile data.txt -looks_like_AM f. perform all tests, reporting all errors 1d_tool.py -infile data.txt -looks_like_test_all \ -set_run_lengths 64 64 64 -set_tr 2 Example 14. Split motion parameters across runs. ~2~ Split, but keep them at the original length so they apply to the same multi-run regression. Each file will be the same as the original for the run it applies to, but zero across all other runs. Note that -split_into_pad_runs takes the output prefix as a parameter. 1d_tool.py -infile motion.1D \ -set_run_lengths 64 64 64 \ -split_into_pad_runs mot.padded The output files are: mot.padded.r01.1D mot.padded.r02.1D mot.padded.r03.1D If the run lengths are the same -set_nruns is shorter... 1d_tool.py -infile motion.1D \ -set_nruns 3 \ -split_into_pad_runs mot.padded Example 15a. Show the maximum pairwise displacement. ~2~ Show the max pairwise displacement in the motion parameter file. So over all TRs pairs, find the biggest displacement. In one direction it is easy (AP say). If the minimum AP shift is -0.8 and the maximum is 1.5, then the maximum displacement is 2.3 mm. It is less clear in 6-D space, and instead of trying to find an enveloping set of "coordinates", distances between all N choose 2 pairs are evaluated (brute force). 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -show_max_displace Example 15b. Like 15a, but do not include displacement from censored TRs. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -show_max_displace \ -censor_infile motion_censor.1D Example 16. Randomize a list of numbers, say, those from 1..40. ~2~ The numbers can come from 1deval, with the result piped to '1d_tool.py -infile stdin -randomize_trs ...'. 1deval -num 40 -expr t+1 | \ 1d_tool.py -infile stdin -randomize_trs -write stdout See also -seed. Example 17. Display min, mean, max, stdev of 1D file. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -show_mmms -infile data.1D To be more detailed, get stats for each of x, y, and z directional blur estimates for all subjects. Cat(enate) all of the subject files and pipe that to 1d_tool.py with infile - (meaning stdin). cat subject_results/group.*/sub*/*.results/blur.errts.1D \ | 1d_tool.py -show_mmms -infile - Example 18. Just output censor count for default method. ~2~ This will output nothing but the number of TRs that would be censored, akin to using -censor_motion and -censor_prev_TR. 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -set_nruns 3 -quick_censor_count 0.3 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -set_run_lengths 100 80 120 \ -quick_censor_count 0.3 Example 19. Compute GCOR from some 1D file. ~2~ * Note, time should be in the vertical direction of the file (else use -transpose). 1d_tool.py -infile data.1D -show_gcor Or get some GCOR documentation and many values. 1d_tool.py -infile data.1D -show_gcor_doc 1d_tool.py -infile data.1D -show_gcor_all Example 20. Display censored or uncensored TRs lists (for use in 3dTcat). ~2~ TRs which were censored: 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_trs_censored encoded TRs which were applied in analysis (those NOT censored): 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_trs_uncensored encoded Only those applied in run #2 (1-based). 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_trs_uncensored encoded \ -show_trs_run 2 Example 21. Convert to rank order. ~2~ a. show rank order of slice times from a 1D file 1d_tool.py -infile slice_times.1D -rank -write - b. show rank order of slice times piped directly from 3dinfo 3dinfo -slice_timing epi+orig | 1d_tool.py -infile - -rank -write - c. show rank order using 'competition' rank, instead of default 'dense' 3dinfo -slice_timing epi+orig \ | 1d_tool.py -infile - -rank_style competition -write - Example 22. Guess volreg base index from motion parameters. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -collapse_cols enorm -show_argmin Example 23. Convert volreg parameters to those suitable for 3dAllineate. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile dfile_rall.1D -volreg2allineate \ -write allin_rall_aff12.1D Example 24. Show TR counts per run. ~2~ a. list the number of TRs in each run 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_tr_run_counts trs b. list the number of TRs censored in each run 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_tr_run_counts trs_cen c. list the number of TRs prior to censoring in each run 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_tr_run_counts trs_no_cen d. list the fraction of TRs censored per run 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_tr_run_counts frac_cen e. list the fraction of TRs censored in run 3 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_tr_run_counts frac_cen \ -show_trs_run 3 Example 25. Show number of runs. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -infile X.xmat.1D -show_num_runs Example 26. Convert global index to run and TR index. ~2~ Note that run indices are 1-based, while TR indices are 0-based, as usual. Confusion is key. a. explicitly, given run lengths 1d_tool.py -set_run_lengths 100 80 120 -index_to_run_tr 217 b. implicitly, given an X-matrix (** be careful about censoring **) 1d_tool.py -infile X.nocensor.xmat.1D -index_to_run_tr 217 Example 27. Display length of response curve. ~2~ 1d_tool.py -show_trs_to_zero -infile data.1D Print out the length of the input (in TRs, say) until the data values become a constant zero. Zeros that are followed by non-zero values are irrelevant. Example 28. Convert slice order to slice times. ~2~ A slice order might be the sequence in which slices were acquired. For example, with 33 slices, perhaps the order is: set slice_order = ( 0 6 12 18 24 30 1 7 13 19 25 31 2 8 14 20 \ 26 32 3 9 15 21 27 4 10 16 22 28 5 11 17 23 29 ) Put this in a file: echo $slice_order > slice_order.1D 1d_tool.py -set_tr 2 -slice_order_to_times \ -infile slice_order.1D -write slice_times.1D Or as a filter: echo $slice_order | 1d_tool.py -set_tr 2 -slice_order_to_times \ -infile - -write - Example 29. Display minimum cluster size from 3dClustSim output. ~2~ Given a text file output by 3dClustSim, e.g. ClustSim.ACF.NN1_1sided.1D, and given both an uncorrected (pthr) and a corrected (alpha) p-value, look up the entry that specifies the minimum cluster size needed for corrected p-value significance. If requested in afni_proc.py, they are under files_ClustSim. a. with modestly verbose output (default is -verb 1) 1d_tool.py -infile ClustSim.ACF.NN1_1sided.1D -csim_show_clustsize b. quiet, to see just the output value 1d_tool.py -infile ClustSim.ACF.NN1_1sided.1D -csim_show_clustsize \ -verb 0 c. quiet, and capture the output value (tcsh syntax) set clustsize = `1d_tool.py -infile ClustSim.ACF.NN1_1sided.1D \ -csim_show_clustsize -verb 0` --------------------------------------------------------------------------- command-line options: ~1~ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- basic informational options: ~2~ -help : show this help -hist : show the module history -show_valid_opts : show all valid options -ver : show the version number ---------------------------------------- required input: ~2~ -infile DATASET.1D : specify input 1D file ---------------------------------------- general options: ~2~ -add_cols NEW_DSET.1D : extend dset to include these columns -backward_diff : take derivative as first backward difference Take the backward differences at each time point. For each index > 0, value[index] = value[index] - value[index-1], and value[0] = 0. This option is identical to -derivative. See also -forward_diff, -derivative, -set_nruns, -set_run_lens. -collapse_cols METHOD : collapse multiple columns into one, where METHOD is one of: min, max, minabs, maxabs, euclidean_norm, weighted_enorm. Consideration of the euclidean_norm method: For censoring, the euclidean_norm method is used (sqrt(sum squares)). This combines rotations (in degrees) with shifts (in mm) as if they had the same weight. Note that assuming rotations are about the center of mass (which should produce a minimum average distance), then the average arc length (averaged over the brain mask) of a voxel rotated by 1 degree (about the CM) is the following (for the given datasets): TT_N27+tlrc: 0.967 mm (average radius = 55.43 mm) MNIa_caez_N27+tlrc: 1.042 mm (average radius = 59.69 mm) MNI_avg152T1+tlrc: 1.088 mm (average radius = 62.32 mm) The point of these numbers is to suggest that equating degrees and mm should be fine. The average distance caused by a 1 degree rotation is very close to 1 mm (in an adult human). * 'enorm' is short for 'euclidean_norm'. * Use of weighted_enorm requires the -weight_vec option. e.g. -collapse_cols weighted_enorm -weight_vec .9 .9 .9 1 1 1 -censor_motion LIMIT PREFIX : create censor files This option implies '-derivative', '-collapse_cols euclidean_norm', 'moderate_mask -LIMIT LIMIT' and applies PREFIX for '-write_censor' and '-write_CENSORTR' output files. It also outputs the derivative of the euclidean norm, before the limit it applied. The temporal derivative is taken with run breaks applied (derivative of the first run of a TR is 0), then the columns are collapsed into one via each TR's vector length (Euclidean Norm: sqrt(sum of squares)). After that, a mask time series is made from TRs with values outside (-LIMIT,LIMIT), i.e. if >= LIMIT or <= LIMIT, result is 1. This binary time series is then written out in -CENSORTR format, with the moderate TRs written in -censor format (either can be applied in 3dDeconvolve). The output files will be named PREFIX_censor.1D, PREFIX_CENSORTR.txt and PREFIX_enorm.1D (e.g. subj123_censor.1D, subj123_CENSORTR.txt and subj123_enorm.1D). Besides an input motion file (-infile), the number of runs is needed (-set_nruns or -set_run_lengths). Consider also '-censor_prev_TR' and '-censor_first_trs'. See example 10. -censor_fill : expand data, filling censored TRs with zeros -censor_fill_parent PARENT : similar, but get censor info from a parent The output of these operation is a longer dataset. Each TR that had previously been censored is re-inserted as a zero. The purpose of this is to make 1D time series data properly align with the all_runs dataset, for example. Otherwise, the ideal 1D data might have missing TRs, and so will align worse with responses over the duration of all runs (it might start aligned, but drift earlier and earlier as more TRs are censored). See example 12. -censor_infile CENSOR_FILE : apply censoring to -infile dataset This removes TRs from the -infile dataset where the CENSOR_FILE is 0. The censor file is akin to what is used with "3dDeconvolve -censor", where TRs with 1 are kept and those with 0 are excluded from analysis. See example 15b. -censor_first_trs N : when censoring motion, also censor the first N TRs of each run -censor_next_TR : for each censored TR, also censor next one (probably for use with -forward_diff) -censor_prev_TR : for each censored TR, also censor previous -cormat_cutoff CUTOFF : set cutoff for cormat warnings (in [0,1]) -csim_show_clustsize : for 3dClustSim input, show min clust size Given a 3dClustSim table output (e.g. ClustSim.ACF.NN1_1sided.1D), along with uncorrected (pthr) and corrected (alpha) p-values, show the minimum cluster size to achieve significance. The pthr and alpha values can be controlled via the options -csim_pthr and -csim_alpha (with defaults of 0.001 and 0.05, respectively). The -verb option can be used to provide additional or no details about the clustering method. See Example 29, along with options -csim_pthr, -csim_alpha and -verb. -csim_pthr THRESH : specify uncorrected threshold for csim output e.g. -csim_pthr 0.0001 This option implies -csim_show_clustsize, and is used to specify the uncorrected p-value of the 3dClustSim output. See also -csim_show_clustsize. -csim_alpha THRESH : specify corrected threshold for csim output e.g. -csim_alpha 0.01 This option implies -csim_show_clustsize, and is used to specify the corrected, cluster-wise p-value of the 3dClustSim output. See also -csim_show_clustsize. -demean : demean each run (new mean of each run = 0.0) -derivative : take the temporal derivative of each vector (done as first backward difference) Take the backward differences at each time point. For each index > 0, value[index] = value[index] - value[index-1], and value[0] = 0. This option is identical to -backward_diff. See also -backward_diff, -forward_diff, -set_nruns, -set_run_lens. -extreme_mask MIN MAX : make mask of extreme values Convert to a 0/1 mask, where 1 means the given value is extreme (outside the (MIN, MAX) range), and 0 means otherwise. This is the opposite of -moderate_mask (not exactly, both are inclusive). Note: values = MIN or MAX will be in both extreme and moderate masks. Note: this was originally described incorrectly in the help. -forward_diff : take first forward difference of each vector Take the first forward differences at each time point. For index<last, value[index] = value[index+1] - value[index], and value[last] = 0. The difference between -forward_diff and -backward_diff is a time shift by one index. See also -backward_diff, -derivative, -set_nruns, -set_run_lens. -index_to_run_tr INDEX : convert global INDEX to run and TR indices Given a list of run lengths, convert INDEX to a run and TR index pair. This option requires -set_run_lens or maybe an Xmat. See also -set_run_lens example 26. -moderate_mask MIN MAX : make mask of moderate values Convert to a 0/1 mask, where 1 means the given value is moderate (within [MIN, MAX]), and 0 means otherwise. This is useful for censoring motion (in the -censor case, not -CENSORTR), where the -censor file should be a time series of TRs to apply. See also -extreme_mask. -label_prefix_drop prefix1 prefix2 ... : remove labels matching prefix list e.g. to remove motion shift (starting with 'd') and bandpass labels: -label_prefix_drop d bandpass This is a type of column selection. Use this option to remove columns from a matrix that have labels starting with any from the given prefix list. This option can be applied along with -label_prefix_keep. See also -label_prefix_keep and example 2b. -label_prefix_keep prefix1 prefix2 ... : keep labels matching prefix list e.g. to keep only motion shift (starting with 'd') and bandpass labels: -label_prefix_keep d bandpass This is a type of column selection. Use this option to keep columns from a matrix that have labels starting with any from the given prefix list. This option can be applied along with -label_prefix_drop. See also -label_prefix_drop and example 2b. "Looks like" options: These are terminal options that check whether the input file seems to be of type 1D, local stim_times or global stim_times formats. The only associated options are currently -infile, -set_run_lens, -set_tr and -verb. They are terminal in that no other 1D-style actions are performed. See 'timing_tool.py -help' for details on stim_times operations. -looks_like_1D : is the file in 1D format Does the input data file seem to be in 1D format? - must be rectangular (same number of columns per row) - duration must match number of rows (if run lengths are given) -looks_like_AM : does the file have modulators? Does the file seem to be in local or global times format, and do the times have modulators? - amplitude modulators should use '*' format (e.g. 127.3*5.1) - duration modulators should use trailing ':' format (12*5.1:3.4) - number of amplitude modulators should be constant -looks_like_local_times : is the file in local stim_times format Does the input data file seem to be in the -stim_times format used by 3dDeconvolve (and timing_tool.py)? More specifically, is it the local format, with one scanning run per row. - number of rows must match number of runs - times cannot be negative - times must be unique per run (per row) - times cannot exceed the current run time -looks_like_global_times : is the file in global stim_times format Does the input data file seem to be in the -stim_times format used by 3dDeconvolve (and timing_tool.py)? More specifically, is it the global format, either as one long row or one long line? - must be one dimensional (either a single row or column) - times cannot be negative - times must be unique - times cannot exceed total duration of all runs -looks_like_test_all : run all -looks_like tests Applies all "looks like" test options: -looks_like_1D, -looks_like_AM, -looks_like_local_times and -looks_like_global_times. -overwrite : allow overwriting of any output dataset -pad_into_many_runs RUN NRUNS : pad as current run of num_runs e.g. -pad_into_many_runs 2 7 This option is used to create a longer time series dataset where the input is consider one particular run out of many. The output is padded with zero for all run TRs before and after this run. Given the example, there would be 1 run of zeros, then the input would be treated as run 2, and there would be 5 more runs of zeros. -quick_censor_count LIMIT : output # TRs that would be censored e.g. -quick_censor_count 0.3 This is akin to -censor_motion, but it only outputs the number of TRs that would be censored. It does not actually create a censor file. This option essentially replaces these: -derivative -demean -collapse_cols euclidean_norm -censor_prev_TR -verb 0 -show_censor_count -moderate_mask 0 LIMIT -rank : convert data to rank order 0-based index order of small to large values The default rank STYLE is 'dense'. See also -rank_style. -rank_style STYLE : convert to rank using the given style The STYLE refers to what to do in the case of repeated values. Assuming inputs 4 5 5 9... dense - repeats get same rank, no gaps in rank - same a "3dmerge -1rank" - result: 0 1 1 2 competition - repeats get same rank, leading to gaps in rank - same a "3dmerge -1rank" - result: 0 1 1 3 (case '2' is counted, though no such rank occurs) Option '-rank' uses style 'dense'. See also -rank. -reverse_rank : convert data to reverse rank order (large values come first) -reverse : reverse data over time -randomize_trs : randomize the data over time -seed SEED : set random number seed (integer) -select_groups g0 g1 ... : select columns by group numbers e.g. -select groups 0 e.g. -select groups POS 0 An X-matrix dataset (e.g. X.xmat.1D) often has columns partitioned by groups, such as: -1 : polort regressors 0 : motion regressors and other (non-polort) baseline terms N>0: regressors of interest This option can be used to select columns by integer groups, with special cases of POS (regs of interest), NEG (probably polort). Note that NONNEG is unneeded as it is the pair POS 0. See also -show_group_labels. -select_cols SELECTOR : apply AFNI column selectors, [] is optional e.g. '[5,0,7..21(2)]' -select_rows SELECTOR : apply AFNI row selectors, {} is optional e.g. '{5,0,7..21(2)}' -select_runs r1 r2 ... : extract the given runs from the dataset (these are 1-based run indices) e.g. 2 e.g. 2 3 1 1 1 1 1 4 -set_nruns NRUNS : treat the input data as if it has nruns (e.g. applies to -derivative and -demean) See examples 7a, 10a and b, and 14. -set_run_lengths N1 N2 ... : treat as if data has run lengths N1, N2, etc. (applies to -derivative, for example) Notes: o option -set_nruns is not allowed with -set_run_lengths o the sum of run lengths must equal NT See examples 7b, 10c and 14. -set_tr TR : set the TR (in seconds) for the data -show_argmin : display the index of min arg (of first column) -show_censor_count : display the total number of censored TRs Note : if input is a valid xmat.1D dataset, then the count will come from the header. Otherwise the input is assumed to be a binary censor file, and zeros are simply counted. -show_cormat : display correlation matrix -show_cormat_warnings : display correlation matrix warnings -show_df_info : display info about degrees of freedom in xmat.1D file -show_df_protect yes/no : protection flag (def=yes) -show_gcor : display GCOR: the average correlation -show_gcor_all : display many ways of computing (a) GCOR -show_gcor_doc : display descriptions of those ways -show_group_labels : display group and label, per column -show_indices_baseline : display column indices for baseline -show_indices_motion : display column indices for motion regressors -show_indices_interest : display column indices for regs of interest -show_label_ordering : display the labels -show_labels : display the labels -show_max_displace : display max displacement (from motion params) - the maximum pairwise distance (enorm) -show_mmms : display min, mean, max, stdev of columns -show_num_runs : display number of runs found -show_rows_cols : display the number of rows and columns -show_tr_run_counts STYLE : display TR counts per run, according to STYLE STYLE can be one of: trs : TR counts trs_cen : censored TR counts trs_no_cen : TR counts, as if no censoring frac_cen : fractions of TRs censored See example 24. -show_trs_censored STYLE : display a list of TRs which were censored -show_trs_uncensored STYLE : display a list of TRs which were not censored STYLE can be one of: comma : comma delimited space : space delimited encoded : succinct selector list verbose : chatty See example 20. -show_trs_run RUN : restrict -show_trs_[un]censored to the given 1-based run -show_trs_to_zero : display number of TRs before final zero value (e.g. length of response curve) -slice_order_to_times : convert a list of slice indices to times Programs like to3d, 3drefit, 3dTcat and 3dTshift expect slice timing to be a list of slice times over the sequential slices. But in some cases, people have an ordered list of slices. So the sorting needs to change. If TR=2 and the slice order is: 0 2 4 6 8 1 3 5 7 9 Then the slices/times ordered by time (as input) are: slices: 0 2 4 6 8 1 3 5 7 9 times: 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 And the slices/times ordered instead by slice index are: slices: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 times: 0.0 1.0 0.2 1.2 0.4 1.4 0.6 1.6 0.8 1.8 It is this final list of times that is output. See example 28. -sort : sort data over time (smallest to largest) - sorts EVERY vector - consider the -reverse option -split_into_pad_runs PREFIX : split input into one padded file per run e.g. -split_into_pad_runs motion.pad This option is used for breaking a set of regressors up by run. The output would be one file per run, where each file is the same as the input for the run it corresponds to, and is padded with 0 across all other runs. Assuming the 300 row input dataset spans 3 100-TR runs, then there would be 3 output datasets created, each still be 300 rows: motion.pad.r01.1D : 100 rows as input, 200 rows of 0 motion.pad.r02.1D : 100 rows of 0, 100 rows as input, 100 of 0 motion.pad.r03.1D : 200 rows of 0, 100 rows as input This option requires either -set_nruns or -set_run_lengths. See example 14. -transpose : transpose the input matrix (rows for columns) -transpose_write : transpose the output matrix before writing -volreg2allineate : convert 3dvolreg parameters to 3dAllineate This option should be used when the -infile file is a 6 column file of motion parameters (roll, pitch, yaw, dS, dL, dP). The output would be converted to a 12 parameter file, suitable for input to 3dAllineate via the -1Dparam_apply option. volreg: roll, pitch, yaw, dS, dL, dP 3dAllinate: -dL, -dP, -dS, roll, pitch, yaw, 0,0,0, 0,0,0 These parameters would be to correct the motion, akin to what 3dvolreg did (i.e. they are the negative estimates of how the subject moved). See example 23. -write FILE : write the current 1D data to FILE -weight_vec v1 v2 ... : supply weighting vector e.g. -weight_vec 0.9 0.9 0.9 1 1 1 This vector currently works only with the weighted_enorm method for the -collapse_cols option. If supplied (as with the example), it will weight the angles at 0.9 times the weights of the shifts in the motion parameters output by 3dvolreg. See also -collapse_cols. -write_censor FILE : write as boolean censor.1D e.g. -write_censor subjA_censor.1D This file can be given to 3dDeconvolve to censor TRs with excessive motion, applied with the -censor option. e.g. 3dDeconvolve -censor subjA_censor.1D This file works well for plotting against the data, where the 0 entries are removed from the regression of 3dDeconvolve. Alternatively, the file created with -write_CENSORTR is probably more human readable. -write_CENSORTR FILE : write censor times as CENSORTR string e.g. -write_CENSORTR subjA_CENSORTR.txt This file can be given to 3dDeconvolve to censor TRs with excessive motion, applied with the -CENSORTR option. e.g. 3dDeconvolve -CENSORTR `cat subjA_CENSORTR.txt` Which might expand to: 3dDeconvolve -CENSORTR '1:16..19,44 3:28 4:19,37..39' Note that the -CENSORTR option requires the text on the command line. This file is in the easily readable format applied with -CENSORTR. It has the same effect on 3dDeconvolve as the sister file from -write_censor, above. -verb LEVEL : set the verbosity level ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Reynolds March 2009 =============================================================================

AFNI program: 1dtranspose
Usage: 1dtranspose infile outfile where infile is an AFNI *.1D file (ASCII list of numbers arranged in columns); outfile will be a similar file, but transposed. You can use a column subvector selector list on infile, as in 1dtranspose 'fred.1D[0,3,7]' ethel.1D * This program may produce files with lines longer than a text editor can handle. * If 'outfile' is '-' (or missing entirely), output goes to stdout. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dTsort
Usage: 1dTsort [options] file.1D Sorts each column of the input 1D file and writes result to stdout. Options ------- -inc = sort into increasing order [default] -dec = sort into decreasing order -flip = transpose the file before OUTPUT * the INPUT can be transposed using file.1D\' * thus, to sort each ROW, do something like 1dTsort -flip file.1D\' > sfile.1D -col j = sort only on column #j (counting starts at 0), and carry the rest of the columns with it. -imode = typecast all values to integers, return the mode in the input then exit. No sorting results are returned. N.B.: Data will be read from standard input if the filename IS stdin, and will also be row/column transposed if the filename is stdin\' For example: 1deval -num 100 -expr 'uran(1)' | 1dTsort stdin | 1dplot stdin ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 1dUpsample
Program 1dUpsample: Upsamples a 1D time series (along the column direction) to a finer time grid. Usage: 1dUpsample [options] n fred.1D > ethel.1D Where 'n' is the upsample factor (integer from 2..32) NOTES: ------ * Interpolation is done with 7th order polynomials. (Why 7? It's a nice number, and the code already existed.) * The only option is '-1' or '-one', to use 1st order polynomials instead (i.e., linear interpolation). * Output is written to stdout. * If you want to interpolate along the row direction, transpose before input, then transpose the output. * Example: 1dUpsample 5 '1D: 4 5 4 3 4' | 1dplot -stdin -dx 0.2 * If the input has M time points, the output will have n*M time points. The last n-1 of them will be past the end of the original time series. * This program is a quick hack for Gang Chen. Where are my Twizzlers?

AFNI program: 24swap
Usage: 24swap [options] file ... Swaps bytes pairs and/or quadruples on the files listed. Options: -q Operate quietly -pattern pat 'pat' determines the pattern of 2 and 4 byte swaps. Each element is of the form 2xN or 4xN, where N is the number of bytes to swap as pairs (for 2x) or as quadruples (for 4x). For 2x, N must be divisible by 2; for 4x, N must be divisible by 4. The whole pattern is made up of elements separated by colons, as in '-pattern 4x39984:2x0'. If bytes are left over after the pattern is used up, the pattern starts over. However, if a byte count N is zero, as in the example below, then it means to continue until the end of file. N.B.: You can also use 1xN as a pattern, indicating to skip N bytes without any swapping. N.B.: A default pattern can be stored in the Unix environment variable AFNI_24SWAP_PATTERN. If no -pattern option is given, the default will be used. If there is no default, then nothing will be done. N.B.: If there are bytes 'left over' at the end of the file, they are written out unswapped. This will happen if the file is an odd number of bytes long. N.B.: If you just want to swap pairs, see program 2swap. For quadruples only, see program 4swap. N.B.: This program will overwrite the input file! You might want to test it first. Example: 24swap -pat 4x8:2x0 fred If fred contains 'abcdabcdabcdabcdabcd' on input, then fred has 'dcbadcbabadcbadcbadc' on output.

AFNI program: 2dImReg
++ 2dImReg: AFNI version=AFNI_19.3.16 (Dec 12 2019) [64-bit] This program performs 2d image registration.

AFNI program: @2dwarper.Allin
script to do 2D registration on each slice of a 3D+time dataset, and glue the results back together at the end This script is structured to operate only on an AFNI +orig.HEAD dataset. The one input on the command line is the prefix for the dataset. Modified 07 Dec 2010 by RWC to use 3dAllineate instead of 3dWarpDrive, with nonlinear slice-wise warping. Set prefix of input 3D+time dataset here. In this example with 'wilma' as the command line argument, the output dataset will be 'wilma_reg+orig'. The output registration parameters files will be 'wilma_param_ssss.1D', where 'ssss' is the slice number. usage: @2dwarper.Allin [options] INPUT_PREFIX example: @2dwarper.Allin epi_run1 example: @2dwarper.Allin -mask my_mask epi_run1 options: -mask MSET : provide the prefix of an existing mask dataset -prefix PREFIX : provide the prefix for output datasets

AFNI program: 2perm
Usage: 2perm [-prefix PPP] [-comma] bot top [n1 n2] This program creates 2 random non-overlapping subsets of the set of integers from 'bot' to 'top' (inclusive). The first subset is of length 'n1' and the second of length 'n2'. If those values are not given, then equal size subsets of length (top-bot+1)/2 are used. This program is intended for use in various simulation and/or randomization scripts, or for amusement/hilarity. OPTIONS: ======== -prefix PPP == Two output files are created, with names PPP_A and PPP_B, where 'PPP' is the given prefix. If no '-prefix' option is given, then the string 'AFNIroolz' will be used. ++ Each file is a single column of numbers. ++ Note that the filenames do NOT end in '.1D'. -comma == Write each file as a single row of comma-separated numbers. EXAMPLE: ======== This illustration shows the purpose of 2perm -- for use in permutation and/or randomization tests of statistical significance and power. Given a dataset with 100 sub-bricks (indexed 0..99), split it into two random halves and do a 2-sample t-test between them. 2perm -prefix Q50 0 99 3dttest++ -setA dataset+orig"[1dcat Q50_A]" \ -setB dataset+orig"[1dcat Q50_B]" \ -no1sam -prefix Q50 \rm -f Q50_?

AFNI program: 3dABoverlap
Usage: 3dABoverlap [options] A B Output (to screen) is a count of various things about how the automasks of datasets A and B overlap or don't overlap. * Dataset B will be resampled to match dataset A, if necessary, which will be slow if A is high resolution. In such a case, you should only use one sub-brick from dataset B. ++ The resampling of B is done before the automask is generated. * The values output are labeled thusly: #A = number of voxels in the A mask #B = number of voxels in the B mask #(A uni B) = number of voxels in the either or both masks (set union) #(A int B) = number of voxels present in BOTH masks (set intesection) #(A \ B) = number of voxels in A mask that aren't in B mask #(B \ A) = number of voxels in B mask that arent' in A mask %(A \ B) = percentage of voxels from A mask that aren't in B mask %(B \ A) = percentage of voxels from B mask that aren't in A mask Rx(B/A) = radius of gyration of B mask / A mask, in x direction Ry(B/A) = radius of gyration of B mask / A mask, in y direction Rz(B/A) = radius of gyration of B mask / A mask, in z direction * If B is an EPI dataset sub-brick, and A is a skull stripped anatomical dataset, then %(B \ A) might be useful for assessing if the EPI brick B is grossly misaligned with respect to the anatomical brick A. * The radius of gyration ratios might be useful for determining if one dataset is grossly larger or smaller than the other. OPTIONS ------- -no_automask = consider input datasets as masks (automask does not work on mask datasets) -quiet = be as quiet as possible (without being entirely mute) -verb = print out some progress reports (to stderr) NOTES ----- * If an input dataset is comprised of bytes and contains only one sub-brick, then this program assumes it is already an automask- generated dataset and the automask operation will be skipped. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dAFNItoANALYZE
[7m*+ WARNING:[0m This program (3dAFNItoANALYZE) is old, not maintained, and probably useless! Usage: 3dAFNItoANALYZE [-4D] [-orient code] aname dset Writes AFNI dataset 'dset' to 1 or more ANALYZE 7.5 format .hdr/.img file pairs (one pair for each sub-brick in the AFNI dataset). The ANALYZE files will be named aname_0000.hdr aname_0000.img for sub-brick #0 aname_0001.hdr aname_0001.img for sub-brick #1 and so forth. Each file pair will contain a single 3D array. * If the AFNI dataset does not include sub-brick scale factors, then the ANALYZE files will be written in the datum type of the AFNI dataset. * If the AFNI dataset does have sub-brick scale factors, then each sub-brick will be scaled to floating format and the ANALYZE files will be written as floats. * The .hdr and .img files are written in the native byte order of the computer on which this program is executed. Options ------- -4D [30 Sep 2002]: If you use this option, then all the data will be written to one big ANALYZE file pair named aname.hdr/aname.img, rather than a series of 3D files. Even if you only have 1 sub-brick, you may prefer this option, since the filenames won't have the '_0000' appended to 'aname'. -orient code [19 Mar 2003]: This option lets you flip the dataset to a different orientation when it is written to the ANALYZE files. The orientation code is formed as follows: The code must be 3 letters, one each from the pairs {R,L} {A,P} {I,S}. The first letter gives the orientation of the x-axis, the second the orientation of the y-axis, the third the z-axis: R = Right-to-Left L = Left-to-Right A = Anterior-to-Posterior P = Posterior-to-Anterior I = Inferior-to-Superior S = Superior-to-Inferior For example, 'LPI' means -x = Left +x = Right -y = Posterior +y = Anterior -z = Inferior +z = Superior * For display in SPM, 'LPI' or 'RPI' seem to work OK. Be careful with this: you don't want to confuse L and R in the SPM display! * If you DON'T use this option, the dataset will be written out in the orientation in which it is stored in AFNI (e.g., the output of '3dinfo dset' will tell you this.) * The dataset orientation is NOT stored in the .hdr file. * AFNI and ANALYZE data are stored in files with the x-axis varying most rapidly and the z-axis most slowly. * Note that if you read an ANALYZE dataset into AFNI for display, AFNI assumes the LPI orientation, unless you set environment variable AFNI_ANALYZE_ORIENT. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

Default: the dataset's prefix is used. * You can use 'ppp.hdr' to output a 2-file NIfTI-1.1 file pair 'ppp.hdr' & 'ppp.img'. * If you want a compressed file, try using a prefix like 'ppp.nii.gz'. * Setting the Unix environment variable AFNI_AUTOGZIP to YES will result in all output .nii files being gzip-ed. -verb = Be verbose = print progress messages. Repeating this increases the verbosity (maximum setting is 3 '-verb' options). -float = Force the output dataset to be 32-bit floats. This option should be used when the input AFNI dataset has different float scale factors for different sub-bricks, an option that NIfTI-1.1 does not support. The following options affect the contents of the AFNI extension field that is written by default into the NIfTI-1.1 header: -pure = Do NOT write an AFNI extension field into the output file. Only use this option if needed. You can also use the 'nifti_tool' program to strip extensions from a file. -denote = When writing the AFNI extension field, remove text notes that might contain subject identifying information. -oldid = Give the new dataset the input dataset's AFNI ID code. -newid = Give the new dataset a new AFNI ID code, to distinguish it from the input dataset. **** N.B.: -newid is now the default action. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dAllineate
Usage: 3dAllineate [options] sourcedataset Program to align one dataset (the 'source') to a base dataset, using an affine (matrix) transformation of space. * Options are available to control: ++ How the matching between the source and the base is computed (i.e., the 'cost functional' measuring image mismatch). ++ How the resliced source is interpolated to the base space. ++ The complexity of the spatial transformation ('warp') used. ++ And many many technical options to control the process in detail, if you know what you are doing (or just like to fool around). * This program is a generalization of and improvement on the older software 3dWarpDrive. * For nonlinear transformations, see progam 3dQwarp. * 3dAllineate can also be used to apply a pre-computed matrix to a dataset to produce the transformed output. In this mode of operation, it just skips the alignment process, whose function is to compute the matrix, and instead it reads the matrix in, computes the output dataset, writes it out, and stops. =====---------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES: For most 3D image registration purposes, we now recommend that you ===== use Daniel Glen's script align_epi_anat.py (which, despite its name, can do many more registration problems than EPI-to-T1-weighted). -->> In particular, using 3dAllineate with the 'lpc' cost functional (to align EPI and T1-weighted volumes) requires using a '-weight' volume to get good results, and the align_epi_anat.py script will automagically generate such a weight dataset that works well for EPI-to-structural alignment. -->> This script can also be used for other alignment purposes, such as T1-weighted alignment between field strengths using the '-lpa' cost functional. Investigate align_epi_anat.py to see if it will do what you need -- you might make your life a little easier and nicer and happier and more tranquil. -->> Also, if/when you ask for registration help on the AFNI message board, we'll probably start by recommending that you try align_epi_anat.py if you haven't already done so. -->> For aligning EPI and T1-weighted volumes, we have found that using a flip angle of 50-60 degrees for the EPI works better than a flip angle of 90 degrees. The reason is that there is more internal contrast in the EPI data when the flip angle is smaller, so the registration has some image structure to work with. With the 90 degree flip angle, there is so little internal contrast in the EPI dataset that the alignment process ends up being just trying to match brain outlines -- which doesn't always give accurate results: see http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2008.09.037 -->> Although the total MRI signal is reduced at a smaller flip angle, there is little or no loss in FMRI/BOLD information, since the bulk of the time series 'noise' is from physiological fluctuation signals, which are also reduced by the lower flip angle -- for more details, see http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2010.11.020 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** New (Summer 2013) program 3dQwarp is available to do nonlinear **** *** alignment between a base and source dataset, including the use *** ** of 3dAllineate for the preliminary affine alignment. If you are ** * interested, see the output of '3dQwarp -help' for the details. * --------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMAND LINE OPTIONS: ==================== -base bbb = Set the base dataset to be the #0 sub-brick of 'bbb'. If no -base option is given, then the base volume is taken to be the #0 sub-brick of the source dataset. (Base must be stored as floats, shorts, or bytes.) ** -base is not needed if you are just applying a given transformation to the -source dataset to produce the output, using -1Dmatrix_apply or -1Dparam_apply ** Unless you use the -master option, the aligned output dataset will be stored on the same 3D grid as the -base dataset. -source ttt = Read the source dataset from 'ttt'. If no -source *OR* (or -input) option is given, then the source dataset -input ttt is the last argument on the command line. (Source must be stored as floats, shorts, or bytes.) ** This is the dataset to be transformed, to match the -base dataset, or directly with one of the options -1Dmatrix_apply or -1Dparam_apply ** 3dAllineate can register 2D datasets (single slice), but both the base and source must be 2D -- you cannot use this program to register a 2D slice into a 3D volume! ** See the script @2dwarper.Allin for an example of using 3dAllineate to do slice-by-slice nonlinear warping to align 3D volumes distorted by time-dependent magnetic field inhomogeneities. ** NOTA BENE: The base and source dataset do NOT have to be defined ** ** [that's] on the same 3D grids; the alignment process uses the ** ** [Latin ] coordinate systems defined in the dataset headers to ** ** [ for ] make the match between spatial locations, rather than ** ** [ NOTE ] matching the 2 datasets on a voxel-by-voxel basis ** ** [ WELL ] (as 3dvolreg and 3dWarpDrive do). ** ** -->> However, this coordinate-based matching requires that ** ** image volumes be defined on roughly the same patch of ** ** of (x,y,z) space, in order to find a decent starting ** ** point for the transformation. You might need to use ** ** the script @Align_Centers to do this, if the 3D ** ** spaces occupied by the images do not overlap much. ** ** -->> Or the '-cmass' option to this program might be ** ** sufficient to solve this problem, maybe, with luck. ** ** (Another reason why you should use align_epi_anat.py) ** ** -->> If the coordinate system in the dataset headers is ** ** WRONG, then 3dAllineate will probably not work well! ** -prefix ppp = Output the resulting dataset to file 'ppp'. If this *OR* option is NOT given, no dataset will be output! The -out ppp transformation matrix to align the source to the base will be estimated, but not applied. You can save the matrix for later use using the '-1Dmatrix_save' option. *N.B.: By default, the new dataset is computed on the grid of the base dataset; see the '-master' and/or the '-mast_dxyz' options to change this grid. *N.B.: If 'ppp' is 'NULL', then no output dataset will be produced. This option is for compatibility with 3dvolreg. -floatize = Write result dataset as floats. Internal calculations -float are all done on float copies of the input datasets. [Default=convert output dataset to data format of ] [ source dataset; if the source dataset was ] [ shorts with a scale factor, then the new ] [ dataset will get a scale factor as well; ] [ if the source dataset was shorts with no ] [ scale factor, the result will be unscaled.] -1Dparam_save ff = Save the warp parameters in ASCII (.1D) format into file 'ff' (1 row per sub-brick in source). * A historical synonym for this option is '-1Dfile'. * At the top of the saved 1D file is a #comment line listing the names of the parameters; those parameters that are fixed (e.g., via '-parfix') will be marked by having their symbolic names end in the '$' character. You can use '1dcat -nonfixed' to remove these columns from the 1D file if you just want to further process the varying parameters somehow (e.g., 1dsvd). * However, the '-1Dparam_apply' option requires the full list of parameters, including those that were fixed, in order to work properly! -1Dparam_apply aa = Read warp parameters from file 'aa', apply them to the source dataset, and produce a new dataset. (Must also use the '-prefix' option for this to work! ) (In this mode of operation, there is no optimization of) (the cost functional by changing the warp parameters; ) (previously computed parameters are applied directly. ) *N.B.: If you use -1Dparam_apply, you may also want to use -master to control the grid on which the new dataset is written -- the base dataset from the original 3dAllineate run would be a good possibility. Otherwise, the new dataset will be written out on the 3D grid coverage of the source dataset, and this might result in clipping off part of the image. *N.B.: Each row in the 'aa' file contains the parameters for transforming one sub-brick in the source dataset. If there are more sub-bricks in the source dataset than there are rows in the 'aa' file, then the last row is used repeatedly. *N.B.: A trick to use 3dAllineate to resample a dataset to a finer grid spacing: 3dAllineate -input dataset+orig \ -master template+orig \ -prefix newdataset \ -final wsinc5 \ -1Dparam_apply '1D: 12@0'\' Here, the identity transformation is specified by giving all 12 affine parameters as 0 (note the extra \' at the end of the '1D: 12@0' input!). ** You can also use the word 'IDENTITY' in place of '1D: 12@0'\' (to indicate the identity transformation). **N.B.: Some expert options for modifying how the wsinc5 method works are described far below, if you use '-HELP' instead of '-help'. ****N.B.: The interpolation method used to produce a dataset is always given via the '-final' option, NOT via '-interp'. If you forget this and use '-interp' along with one of the 'apply' options, this program will chastise you (gently) and change '-final' to match what the '-interp' input. -1Dmatrix_save ff = Save the transformation matrix for each sub-brick into file 'ff' (1 row per sub-brick in the source dataset). If 'ff' does NOT end in '.1D', then the program will append '.aff12.1D' to 'ff' to make the output filename. *N.B.: This matrix is the coordinate transformation from base to source DICOM coordinates. In other terms: Xin = Xsource = M Xout = M Xbase or Xout = Xbase = inv(M) Xin = inv(M) Xsource where Xin or Xsource is the 4x1 coordinates of a location in the input volume. Xout is the coordinate of that same location in the output volume. Xbase is the coordinate of the corresponding location in the base dataset. M is ff augmented by a 4th row of [0 0 0 1], X. is an augmented column vector [x,y,z,1]' To get the inverse matrix inv(M) (source to base), use the cat_matvec program, as in cat_matvec fred.aff12.1D -I -1Dmatrix_apply aa = Use the matrices in file 'aa' to define the spatial transformations to be applied. Also see program cat_matvec for ways to manipulate these matrix files. *N.B.: You probably want to use either -base or -master with either *_apply option, so that the coordinate system that the matrix refers to is correctly loaded. ** You can also use the word 'IDENTITY' in place of a filename to indicate the identity transformation -- presumably for the purpose of resampling the source dataset to a new grid. * The -1Dmatrix_* options can be used to save and re-use the transformation * * matrices. In combination with the program cat_matvec, which can multiply * * saved transformation matrices, you can also adjust these matrices to * * other alignments. These matrices can also be combined with nonlinear * * warps (from 3dQwarp) using programs 3dNwarpApply or 3dNwarpCat. * * The script 'align_epi_anat.py' uses 3dAllineate and 3dvolreg to align EPI * * datasets to T1-weighted anatomical datasets, using saved matrices between * * the two programs. This script is our currently recommended method for * * doing such intra-subject alignments. * -cost ccc = Defines the 'cost' function that defines the matching between the source and the base; 'ccc' is one of ls *OR* leastsq = Least Squares [Pearson Correlation] mi *OR* mutualinfo = Mutual Information [H(b)+H(s)-H(b,s)] crM *OR* corratio_mul = Correlation Ratio (Symmetrized*) nmi *OR* norm_mutualinfo = Normalized MI [H(b,s)/(H(b)+H(s))] hel *OR* hellinger = Hellinger metric crA *OR* corratio_add = Correlation Ratio (Symmetrized+) crU *OR* corratio_uns = Correlation Ratio (Unsym) lpc *OR* localPcorSigned = Local Pearson Correlation Signed lpa *OR* localPcorAbs = Local Pearson Correlation Abs lpc+ *OR* localPcor+Others= Local Pearson Signed + Others lpa+ *OR* localPcorAbs+Others= Local Pearson Abs + Others You can also specify the cost functional using an option of the form '-mi' rather than '-cost mi', if you like to keep things terse and cryptic (as I do). [Default == '-hel' (for no good reason, but it sounds nice).] **NB** See more below about lpa and lpc, which are typically what we would recommend as first-choice cost functions now: lpa if you have similar contrast vols to align; lpc if you have *non*similar contrast vols to align! -interp iii = Defines interpolation method to use during matching process, where 'iii' is one of NN *OR* nearestneighbour *OR nearestneighbor linear *OR* trilinear cubic *OR* tricubic quintic *OR* triquintic Using '-NN' instead of '-interp NN' is allowed (e.g.). Note that using cubic or quintic interpolation during the matching process will slow the program down a lot. Use '-final' to affect the interpolation method used to produce the output dataset, once the final registration parameters are determined. [Default method == 'linear'.] ** N.B.: Linear interpolation is used during the coarse alignment pass; the selection here only affects the interpolation method used during the second (fine) alignment pass. ** N.B.: '-interp' does NOT define the final method used to produce the output dataset as warped from the input dataset. If you want to do that, use '-final'. -final iii = Defines the interpolation mode used to create the output dataset. [Default == 'cubic'] ** N.B.: If you are applying a transformation to an integer-valued dataset (such as an atlas), then you should use '-final NN' to avoid interpolation of the integer labels. ** N.B.: For '-final' ONLY, you can use 'wsinc5' to specify that the final interpolation be done using a weighted sinc interpolation method. This method is so SLOW that you aren't allowed to use it for the registration itself. ++ wsinc5 interpolation is highly accurate and should reduce the smoothing artifacts from lower order interpolation methods (which are most visible if you interpolate an EPI time series to high resolution and then make an image of the voxel-wise variance). ++ On my Intel-based Mac, it takes about 2.5 s to do wsinc5 interpolation, per 1 million voxels output. For comparison, quintic interpolation takes about 0.3 s per 1 million voxels: 8 times faster than wsinc5. ++ The '5' refers to the width of the sinc interpolation weights: plus/minus 5 grid points in each direction; this is a tensor product interpolation, for speed. TECHNICAL OPTIONS (used for fine control of the program): ================= -nmatch nnn = Use at most 'nnn' scattered points to match the datasets. The smaller nnn is, the faster the matching algorithm will run; however, accuracy may be bad if nnn is too small. If you end the 'nnn' value with the '%' character, then that percentage of the base's voxels will be used. [Default == 47% of voxels in the weight mask] -nopad = Do not use zero-padding on the base image. (I cannot think of a good reason to use this option.) [Default == zero-pad, if needed; -verb shows how much] -zclip = Replace negative values in the input datasets (source & base) -noneg with zero. The intent is to clip off a small set of negative values that may arise when using 3dresample (say) with cubic interpolation. -conv mmm = Convergence test is set to 'mmm' millimeters. This doesn't mean that the results will be accurate to 'mmm' millimeters! It just means that the program stops trying to improve the alignment when the optimizer (NEWUOA) reports it has narrowed the search radius down to this level. -verb = Print out verbose progress reports. [Using '-VERB' will give even more prolix reports.] -quiet = Don't print out verbose stuff. -usetemp = Write intermediate stuff to disk, to economize on RAM. Using this will slow the program down, but may make it possible to register datasets that need lots of space. **N.B.: Temporary files are written to the directory given in environment variable TMPDIR, or in /tmp, or in ./ (preference in that order). If the program crashes, these files are named TIM_somethingrandom, and you may have to delete them manually. (TIM=Temporary IMage) **N.B.: If the program fails with a 'malloc failure' type of message, then try '-usetemp' (malloc=memory allocator). **N.B.: If you use '-verb', then memory usage is printed out at various points along the way. -nousetemp = Don't use temporary workspace on disk [the default]. -check hhh = After cost functional optimization is done, start at the final parameters and RE-optimize using the new cost function 'hhh'. If the results are too different, a warning message will be printed. However, the final parameters from the original optimization will be used to create the output dataset. Using '-check' increases the CPU time, but can help you feel sure that the alignment process did not go wild and crazy. [Default == no check == don't worry, be happy!] **N.B.: You can put more than one function after '-check', as in -nmi -check mi hel crU crM to register with Normalized Mutual Information, and then check the results against 4 other cost functionals. **N.B.: On the other hand, some cost functionals give better results than others for specific problems, and so a warning that 'mi' was significantly different than 'hel' might not actually mean anything useful (e.g.). ** PARAMETERS THAT AFFECT THE COST OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY ** -onepass = Use only the refining pass -- do not try a coarse resolution pass first. Useful if you know that only small amounts of image alignment are needed. [The default is to use both passes.] -twopass = Use a two pass alignment strategy, first searching for a large rotation+shift and then refining the alignment. [Two passes are used by default for the first sub-brick] [in the source dataset, and then one pass for the others.] ['-twopass' will do two passes for ALL source sub-bricks.] *** The first (coarse) pass is relatively slow, as it tries to search a large volume of parameter (rotations+shifts) space for initial guesses at the alignment transformation. * A lot of these initial guesses are kept and checked to see which ones lead to good starting points for the further refinement. * The winners of this competition are then passed to the '-twobest' (infra) successive optimization passes. * The ultimate winner of THAT stage is what starts the second (fine) pass alignment. Usually, this starting point is so good that the fine pass optimization does not provide a lot of improvement. * All of these stages are intended to help the program avoid stopping at a 'false' minimum in the cost functional. They were added to the software as we gathered experience with difficult 3D alignment problems. The combination of multiple stages of partial optimization of multiple parameter candidates makes the coarse pass slow, but also makes it (usually) work well. -twoblur rr = Set the blurring radius for the first pass to 'rr' millimeters. [Default == 11 mm] **N.B.: You may want to change this from the default if your voxels are unusually small or unusually large (e.g., outside the range 1-4 mm along each axis). -twofirst = Use -twopass on the first image to be registered, and then on all subsequent images from the source dataset, use results from the first image's coarse pass to start the fine pass. (Useful when there may be large motions between the ) (source and the base, but only small motions within ) (the source dataset itself; since the coarse pass can ) (be slow, doing it only once makes sense in this case.) **N.B.: [-twofirst is on by default; '-twopass' turns it off.] -twobest bb = In the coarse pass, use the best 'bb' set of initial points to search for the starting point for the fine pass. If bb==0, then no search is made for the best starting point, and the identity transformation is used as the starting point. [Default=5; min=0 max=22] **N.B.: Setting bb=0 will make things run faster, but less reliably. -fineblur x = Set the blurring radius to use in the fine resolution pass to 'x' mm. A small amount (1-2 mm?) of blurring at the fine step may help with convergence, if there is some problem, especially if the base volume is very noisy. [Default == 0 mm = no blurring at the final alignment pass] **NOTES ON **STRATEGY: * If you expect only small-ish (< 2 voxels?) image movement, then using '-onepass' or '-twobest 0' makes sense. * If you expect large-ish image movements, then do not use '-onepass' or '-twobest 0'; the purpose of the '-twobest' parameter is to search for large initial rotations/shifts with which to start the coarse optimization round. * If you have multiple sub-bricks in the source dataset, then the default '-twofirst' makes sense if you don't expect large movements WITHIN the source, but expect large motions between the source and base. * '-twopass' re-starts the alignment process for each sub-brick in the source dataset -- this option can be time consuming, and is really intended to be used when you might expect large movements between sub-bricks; for example, when the different volumes are gathered on different days. For most purposes, '-twofirst' (the default process) will be adequate and faster, when operating on multi-volume source datasets. -cmass = Use the center-of-mass calculation to determin an initial shift [This option is OFF by default] can be given as cmass+a, cmass+xy, cmass+yz, cmass+xz where +a means to try determine automatically in which direction the data is partial by looking for a too large shift If given in the form '-cmass+xy' (for example), means to do the CoM calculation in the x- and y-directions, but not the z-direction. -nocmass = Don't use the center-of-mass calculation. [The default] (You would not want to use the C-o-M calculation if the ) (source sub-bricks have very different spatial locations,) (since the source C-o-M is calculated from all sub-bricks) **EXAMPLE: You have a limited coverage set of axial EPI slices you want to register into a larger head volume (after 3dSkullStrip, of course). In this case, '-cmass+xy' makes sense, allowing CoM adjustment along the x = R-L and y = A-P directions, but not along the z = I-S direction, since the EPI doesn't cover the whole brain along that axis. -autoweight = Compute a weight function using the 3dAutomask algorithm plus some blurring of the base image. **N.B.: '-autoweight+100' means to zero out all voxels with values below 100 before computing the weight. '-autoweight**1.5' means to compute the autoweight and then raise it to the 1.5-th power (e.g., to increase the weight of high-intensity regions). These two processing steps can be combined, as in '-autoweight+100**1.5' ** Note that '**' must be enclosed in quotes; otherwise, the shell will treat it as a wildcard and you will get an error message before 3dAllineate even starts!! ** UPDATE: one can now use '^' for power notation, to avoid needing to enclose the string in quotes. **N.B.: Some cost functionals do not allow -autoweight, and will use -automask instead. A warning message will be printed if you run into this situation. If a clip level '+xxx' is appended to '-autoweight', then the conversion into '-automask' will NOT happen. Thus, using a small positive '+xxx' can be used trick -autoweight into working on any cost functional. -automask = Compute a mask function, which is like -autoweight, but the weight for a voxel is set to either 0 or 1. **N.B.: '-automask+3' means to compute the mask function, and then dilate it outwards by 3 voxels (e.g.). ** Note that '+' means something very different for '-automask' and '-autoweight'!! -autobox = Expand the -automask function to enclose a rectangular box that holds the irregular mask. **N.B.: This is the default mode of operation! For intra-modality registration, '-autoweight' may be better! * If the cost functional is 'ls', then '-autoweight' will be the default, instead of '-autobox'. -nomask = Don't compute the autoweight/mask; if -weight is not also used, then every voxel will be counted equally. -weight www = Set the weighting for each voxel in the base dataset; larger weights mean that voxel counts more in the cost function. **N.B.: The weight dataset must be defined on the same grid as the base dataset. **N.B.: Even if a method does not allow -autoweight, you CAN use a weight dataset that is not 0/1 valued. The risk is yours, of course (!*! as always in AFNI !*!). -wtprefix p = Write the weight volume to disk as a dataset with prefix name 'p'. Used with '-autoweight/mask', this option lets you see what voxels were important in the algorithm. -emask ee = This option lets you specify a mask of voxels to EXCLUDE from the analysis. The voxels where the dataset 'ee' is nonzero will not be included (i.e., their weights will be set to zero). * Like all the weight options, it applies in the base image coordinate system. * Like all the weight options, it means nothing if you are using one of the 'apply' options. Method Allows -autoweight ------ ------------------ ls YES mi NO crM YES nmi NO hel NO crA YES crU YES lpc YES lpa YES lpc+ YES lpa+ YES -source_mask sss = Mask the source (input) dataset, using 'sss'. -source_automask = Automatically mask the source dataset. [By default, all voxels in the source] [dataset are used in the matching. ] **N.B.: You can also use '-source_automask+3' to dilate the default source automask outward by 3 voxels. -warp xxx = Set the warp type to 'xxx', which is one of shift_only *OR* sho = 3 parameters shift_rotate *OR* shr = 6 parameters shift_rotate_scale *OR* srs = 9 parameters affine_general *OR* aff = 12 parameters [Default = affine_general, which includes image] [ shifts, rotations, scaling, and shearing] -warpfreeze = Freeze the non-rigid body parameters (those past #6) after doing the first sub-brick. Subsequent volumes will have the same spatial distortions as sub-brick #0, plus rigid body motions only. -replacebase = If the source has more than one sub-brick, and this option is turned on, then after the #0 sub-brick is aligned to the base, the aligned #0 sub-brick is used as the base image for subsequent source sub-bricks. -replacemeth m = After sub-brick #0 is aligned, switch to method 'm' for later sub-bricks. For use with '-replacebase'. -EPI = Treat the source dataset as being composed of warped EPI slices, and the base as comprising anatomically 'true' images. Only phase-encoding direction image shearing and scaling will be allowed with this option. **N.B.: For most people, the base dataset will be a 3dSkullStrip-ed T1-weighted anatomy (MPRAGE or SPGR). If you don't remove the skull first, the EPI images (which have little skull visible due to fat-suppression) might expand to fit EPI brain over T1-weighted skull. **N.B.: Usually, EPI datasets don't have as complete slice coverage of the brain as do T1-weighted datasets. If you don't use some option (like '-EPI') to suppress scaling in the slice- direction, the EPI dataset is likely to stretch the slice thickness to better 'match' the T1-weighted brain coverage. **N.B.: '-EPI' turns on '-warpfreeze -replacebase'. You can use '-nowarpfreeze' and/or '-noreplacebase' AFTER the '-EPI' on the command line if you do not want these options used. -parfix n v = Fix parameter #n to be exactly at value 'v'. -parang n b t = Allow parameter #n to range only between 'b' and 't'. If not given, default ranges are used. -parini n v = Initialize parameter #n to value 'v', but then allow the algorithm to adjust it. **N.B.: Multiple '-par...' options can be used, to constrain multiple parameters. **N.B.: -parini has no effect if -twopass is used, since the -twopass algorithm carries out its own search for initial parameters. -maxrot dd = Allow maximum rotation of 'dd' degrees. Equivalent to '-parang 4 -dd dd -parang 5 -dd dd -parang 6 -dd dd' [Default=30 degrees] -maxshf dd = Allow maximum shift of 'dd' millimeters. Equivalent to '-parang 1 -dd dd -parang 2 -dd dd -parang 3 -dd dd' [Default=32% of the size of the base image] **N.B.: This max shift setting is relative to the center-of-mass shift, if the '-cmass' option is used. -maxscl dd = Allow maximum scaling factor to be 'dd'. Equivalent to '-parang 7 1/dd dd -parang 8 1/dd dd -paran2 9 1/dd dd' [Default=1.2=image can go up or down 20% in size] -maxshr dd = Allow maximum shearing factor to be 'dd'. Equivalent to '-parang 10 -dd dd -parang 11 -dd dd -parang 12 -dd dd' [Default=0.1111 for no good reason] NOTE: If the datasets being registered have only 1 slice, 3dAllineate will automatically fix the 6 out-of-plane motion parameters to their 'do nothing' values, so you don't have to specify '-parfix'. -master mmm = Write the output dataset on the same grid as dataset 'mmm'. If this option is NOT given, the base dataset is the master. **N.B.: 3dAllineate transforms the source dataset to be 'similar' to the base image. Therefore, the coordinate system of the master dataset is interpreted as being in the reference system of the base image. It is thus vital that these finite 3D volumes overlap, or you will lose data! **N.B.: If 'mmm' is the string 'SOURCE', then the source dataset is used as the master for the output dataset grid. You can also use 'BASE', which is of course the default. -mast_dxyz del = Write the output dataset using grid spacings of *OR* 'del' mm. If this option is NOT given, then the -newgrid del grid spacings in the master dataset will be used. This option is useful when registering low resolution data (e.g., EPI time series) to high resolution datasets (e.g., MPRAGE) where you don't want to consume vast amounts of disk space interpolating the low resolution data to some artificially fine (and meaningless) spatial grid. ---------------------------------------------- DEFINITION OF AFFINE TRANSFORMATION PARAMETERS ---------------------------------------------- The 3x3 spatial transformation matrix is calculated as [S][D][U], where [S] is the shear matrix, [D] is the scaling matrix, and [U] is the rotation (proper orthogonal) matrix. Thes matrices are specified in DICOM-ordered (x=-R+L,y=-A+P,z=-I+S) coordinates as: [U] = [Rotate_y(param#6)] [Rotate_x(param#5)] [Rotate_z(param #4)] (angles are in degrees) [D] = diag( param#7 , param#8 , param#9 ) [ 1 0 0 ] [ 1 param#10 param#11 ] [S] = [ param#10 1 0 ] OR [ 0 1 param#12 ] [ param#11 param#12 1 ] [ 0 0 1 ] The shift vector comprises parameters #1, #2, and #3. The goal of the program is to find the warp parameters such that I([x]_warped) 'is similar to' J([x]_in) as closely as possible in some sense of 'similar', where J(x) is the base image, and I(x) is the source image. Using '-parfix', you can specify that some of these parameters are fixed. For example, '-shift_rotate_scale' is equivalent '-affine_general -parfix 10 0 -parfix 11 0 -parfix 12 0'. Don't even think of using the '-parfix' option unless you grok this example! ----------- Special Note for the '-EPI' Option's Coordinates ----------- In this case, the parameters above are with reference to coordinates x = frequency encoding direction (by default, first axis of dataset) y = phase encoding direction (by default, second axis of dataset) z = slice encoding direction (by default, third axis of dataset) This option lets you freeze some of the warping parameters in ways that make physical sense, considering how echo-planar images are acquired. The x- and z-scaling parameters are disabled, and shears will only affect the y-axis. Thus, there will be only 9 free parameters when '-EPI' is used. If desired, you can use a '-parang' option to allow the scaling fixed parameters to vary (put these after the '-EPI' option): -parang 7 0.833 1.20 to allow x-scaling -parang 9 0.833 1.20 to allow z-scaling You could also fix some of the other parameters, if that makes sense in your situation; for example, to disable out-of-slice rotations: -parfix 5 0 -parfix 6 0 and to disable out of slice translation: -parfix 3 0 NOTE WELL: If you use '-EPI', then the output warp parameters (e.g., in '-1Dparam_save') apply to the (freq,phase,slice) xyz coordinates, NOT to the DICOM xyz coordinates, so equivalent transformations will be expressed with different sets of parameters entirely than if you don't use '-EPI'! This comment does NOT apply to the output of '-1Dmatrix_save', since that matrix is defined relative to the RAI (DICOM) spatial coordinates. *********** CHANGING THE ORDER OF MATRIX APPLICATION *********** {{{ There is no good reason to ever use these options! }}} -SDU or -SUD }= Set the order of the matrix multiplication -DSU or -DUS }= for the affine transformations: -USD or -UDS }= S = triangular shear (params #10-12) D = diagonal scaling matrix (params #7-9) U = rotation matrix (params #4-6) Default order is '-SDU', which means that the U matrix is applied first, then the D matrix, then the S matrix. -Supper }= Set the S matrix to be upper or lower -Slower }= triangular [Default=lower triangular] -ashift OR }= Apply the shift parameters (#1-3) after OR -bshift }= before the matrix transformation. [Default=after] ================================================== ===== RWCox - September 2006 - Live Long and Prosper ===== ================================================== ******************************************************** *** From Webster's Dictionary: Allineate == 'to align' *** ******************************************************** =========================================================================== FORMERLY SECRET HIDDEN OPTIONS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** N.B.: Most of these are experimental! [permanent beta] ** =========================================================================== -num_rtb n = At the beginning of the fine pass, the best set of results from the coarse pass are 'refined' a little by further optimization, before the single best one is chosen for for the final fine optimization. * This option sets the maximum number of cost functional evaluations to be used (for each set of parameters) in this step. * The default is 99; a larger value will take more CPU time but may give more robust results. * If you want to skip this step entirely, use '-num_rtb 0'. then, the best of the coarse pass results is taken straight to the final optimization passes. **N.B.: If you use '-VERB', you will see that one extra case is involved in this initial fine refinement step; that case is starting with the identity transformation, which helps insure against the chance that the coarse pass optimizations ran totally amok. -nocast = By default, parameter vectors that are too close to the best one are cast out at the end of the coarse pass refinement process. Use this option if you want to keep them all for the fine resolution pass. -norefinal = Do NOT re-start the fine iteration step after it has converged. The default is to re-start it, which usually results in a small improvement to the result (at the cost of CPU time). This re-start step is an an attempt to avoid a local minimum trap. It is usually not necessary, but sometimes helps. -realaxes = Use the 'real' axes stored in the dataset headers, if they conflict with the default axes. [For Jedi AFNI Masters only!] -savehist sss = Save start and final 2D histograms as PGM files, with prefix 'sss' (cost: cr mi nmi hel). * if filename contains 'FF', floats is written * these are the weighted histograms! * -savehist will also save histogram files when the -allcost evaluations takes place * this option is mostly useless unless '-histbin' is also used -median = Smooth with median filter instead of Gaussian blur. (Somewhat slower, and not obviously useful.) -powell m a = Set the Powell NEWUOA dimensional parameters to 'm' and 'a' (cf. source code in powell_int.c). The number of points used for approximating the cost functional is m*N+a, where N is the number of parameters being optimized. The default values are m=2 and a=3. Larger values will probably slow the program down for no good reason. The smallest allowed values are 1. -target ttt = Same as '-source ttt'. In the earliest versions, what I now call the 'source' dataset was called the 'target' dataset: Try to remember the kind of September (2006) When life was slow and oh so mellow Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and source was target. -Xwarp =} Change the warp/matrix setup so that only the x-, y-, or z- -Ywarp =} axis is stretched & sheared. Useful for EPI, where 'X', -Zwarp =} 'Y', or 'Z' corresponds to the phase encoding direction. -FPS fps = Generalizes -EPI to arbitrary permutation of directions. -histpow pp = By default, the number of bins in the histogram used for calculating the Hellinger, Mutual Information, and Correlation Ratio statistics is n^(1/3), where n is the number of data points. You can change that exponent to 'pp' with this option. -histbin nn = Or you can just set the number of bins directly to 'nn'. -eqbin nn = Use equalized marginal histograms with 'nn' bins. -clbin nn = Use 'nn' equal-spaced bins except for the bot and top, which will be clipped (thus the 'cl'). If nn is 0, the program will pick the number of bins for you. **N.B.: '-clbin 0' is now the default [25 Jul 2007]; if you want the old all-equal-spaced bins, use '-histbin 0'. **N.B.: '-clbin' only works when the datasets are non-negative; any negative voxels in either the input or source volumes will force a switch to all equal-spaced bins. -wtmrad mm = Set autoweight/mask median filter radius to 'mm' voxels. -wtgrad gg = Set autoweight/mask Gaussian filter radius to 'gg' voxels. -nmsetup nn = Use 'nn' points for the setup matching [default=98756] -ignout = Ignore voxels outside the warped source dataset. -blok bbb = Blok definition for the 'lp?' (Local Pearson) cost functions: 'bbb' is one of 'BALL(r)' or 'CUBE(r)' or 'RHDD(r)' or 'TOHD(r)' corresponding to spheres or cubes or rhombic dodecahedra or truncated octahedra where 'r' is the size parameter in mm. [Default is 'RHDD(6.54321)' (rhombic dodecahedron)] -allcost = Compute ALL available cost functionals and print them at various points. -allcostX = Compute and print ALL available cost functionals for the un-warped inputs, and then quit. -allcostX1D p q = Compute ALL available cost functionals for the set of parameters given in the 1D file 'p' (12 values per row), write them to the 1D file 'q', then exit. (For you, Zman) * N.B.: If -fineblur is used, that amount of smoothing will be applied prior to the -allcostX evaluations. The parameters are the rotation, shift, scale, and shear values, not the affine transformation matrix. An identity matrix could be provided as "0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0" for instance or by using the word "IDENTITY" =========================================================================== Modifying '-final wsinc5' ------------------------- * The windowed (tapered) sinc function interpolation can be modified by several environment variables. This is expert-level stuff, and you should understand what you are doing if you use these options. The simplest way to use these would be on the command line, as in -DAFNI_WSINC5_RADIUS=9 -DAFNI_WSINC5_TAPERFUN=Hamming * AFNI_WSINC5_TAPERFUN lets you choose the taper function. The default taper function is the minimum sidelobe 3-term cosine: 0.4243801 + 0.4973406*cos(PI*x) + 0.0782793*cos(2*PI*x) If you set this environment variable to 'Hamming', then the minimum sidelobe 2-term cosine will be used instead: 0.53836 + 0.46164*cos(PI*x) Here, 'x' is between 0 and 1, where x=0 is the center of the interpolation mask and x=1 is the outer edge. ++ Unfortunately, the 3-term cosine doesn't have a catchy name; you can find it (and many other) taper functions described in the paper AH Nuttall, Some Windows with Very Good Sidelobe Behavior. IEEE Trans. ASSP, 29:84-91 (1981). In particular, see Fig.14 and Eq.36 in this paper. * AFNI_WSINC5_TAPERCUT lets you choose the start 'x' point for tapering: This value should be between 0 and 0.8; for example, 0 means to taper all the way from x=0 to x=1 (maximum tapering). The default value is 0. Setting TAPERCUT to 0.5 (say) means only to taper from x=0.5 to x=1; thus, a larger value means that fewer points are tapered inside the interpolation mask. * AFNI_WSINC5_RADIUS lets you choose the radius of the tapering window (i.e., the interpolation mask region). This value is an integer between 3 and 21. The default value is 5 (which used to be the ONLY value, thus 'wsinc5'). RADIUS is measured in voxels, not mm. * AFNI_WSINC5_SPHERICAL lets you choose the shape of the mask region. If you set this value to 'Yes', then the interpolation mask will be spherical; otherwise, it defaults to cubical. * The Hamming taper function is a little faster than the 3-term function, but will have a little more Gibbs phenomenon. * A larger TAPERCUT will give a little more Gibbs phenomenon; compute speed won't change much with this parameter. * Compute time goes up with (at least) the 3rd power of the RADIUS; setting RADIUS to 21 will be VERY slow. * Visually, RADIUS=3 is similar to quintic interpolation. Increasing RADIUS makes the interpolated images look sharper and more well- defined. However, values of RADIUS greater than or equal to 7 appear (to Zhark's eagle eye) to be almost identical. If you really care, you'll have to experiment with this parameter yourself. * A spherical mask is also VERY slow, since the cubical mask allows evaluation as a tensor product. There is really no good reason to use a spherical mask; I only put it in for experimental purposes. ** For most users, there is NO reason to ever use these environment variables to modify wsinc5. You should only do this kind of thing if you have a good and articulable reason! (Or if you really like to screw around.) ** The wsinc5 interpolation function is parallelized using OpenMP, which makes its usage moderately tolerable. =========================================================================== Hidden experimental cost functionals: ------------------------------------- sp *OR* spearman = Spearman [rank] Correlation je *OR* jointentropy = Joint Entropy [H(b,s)] lss *OR* signedPcor = Signed Pearson Correlation Notes for the new [Feb 2010] lpc+ cost functional: -------------------------------------------------- * The cost functional named 'lpc+' is a combination of several others: lpc + hel*0.4 + crA*0.4 + nmi*0.2 + mi*0.2 + ov*0.4 ++ 'hel', 'crA', 'nmi', and 'mi' are the histogram-based cost functionals also available as standalone options. ++ 'ov' is a measure of the overlap of the automasks of the base and source volumes; ov is not available as a standalone option. * The purpose of lpc+ is to avoid situations where the pure lpc cost goes wild; this especially happens if '-source_automask' isn't used. ++ Even with lpc+, you should use '-source_automask+2' (say) to be safe. * You can alter the weighting of the extra functionals by giving the option in the form (for example) '-lpc+hel*0.5+nmi*0+mi*0+crA*1.0+ov*0.5' * The quotes are needed to prevent the shell from wild-card expanding the '*' character. --> You can now use ':' in place of '*' to avoid this wildcard problem: -lpc+hel:0.5+nmi:0+mi:0+crA:1+ov:0.5+ZZ * Notice the weight factors FOLLOW the name of the extra functionals. ++ If you want a weight to be 0 or 1, you have to provide for that explicitly -- if you leave a weight off, then it will get its default value! ++ The order of the weight factor names is unimportant here: '-lpc+hel*0.5+nmi*0.8' == '-lpc+nmi*0.8+hel*0.5' * Only the 5 functionals listed (hel,crA,nmi,mi,ov) can be used in '-lpc+'. * In addition, if you want the initial alignments to be with '-lpc+' and then finish the Final alignment with pure '-lpc', you can indicate this by putting 'ZZ' somewhere in the option string, as in '-lpc+ZZ'. * [28 Nov 2018] All of the above now applies to the 'lpa+' cost functional, which can be used as a robust method for like-to-like alignment.

Otherwise, you are likely to get less than optimal results (and then swear at us unjustly). * For more information about the 'cr' functionals, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_ratio Note that CR(x,y) is not the same as CR(y,x), which is why there are symmetrized versions of it available. * For more information about the 'mi', 'nmi', and 'je' cost functionals, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_entropy http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~cis/cista/746/papers/mutual_info_survey.pdf * For more information about the 'hel' functional, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellinger_distance * Some cost functionals (e.g., 'mi', 'cr', 'hel') are computed by creating a 2D joint histogram of the base and source image pair.

The number of parameters in the file (per line) must match the warp type: bilinear = 43 [for all nonlinear warps, the final] cubic = 64 [4 'parameters' are fixed values to] quintic = 172 [normalize the coordinates to -1..1] heptic = 364 [for the nonlinear warp functions. ] nonic = 664 In all these cases, the first 12 parameters are the affine parameters (shifts, rotations, etc.), and the remaining parameters define the nonlinear part of the warp (polynomial coefficients); thus, the number of nonlinear parameters over which the optimization takes place is the number in the table above minus 16. * The actual polynomial functions used are products of Legendre polynomials, but the symbolic names used in the header line in the '-1Dparam_save' output just express the polynomial degree involved; for example, quint:x^2*z^3:z is the name given to the polynomial warp basis function whose highest power of x is 2, is independent of y, and whose highest power of z is 3; the 'quint' indicates that this was used in '-nwarp quintic'; the final ':z' signifies that this function was for deformations in the (DICOM) z-direction (+z == Superior). ==>>*** You can further control the form of the polynomial warps (but not the bilinear warp!) by restricting their degrees of freedom in 2 different ways. ++ You can remove the freedom to have the nonlinear deformation move along the DICOM x, y, and/or z axes. ++ You can remove the dependence of the nonlinear deformation on the DICOM x, y, and/or z coordinates. ++ To illustrate with the six second order polynomials: p2_xx(x,y,z) = x*x p2_xy(x,y,z) = x*y p2_xz(x,y,z) = x*z p2_yy(x,y,z) = y*y p2_yz(x,y,z) = y*z p2_zz(x,y,z) = z*z Unrestricted, there are 18 parameters associated with these polynomials, one for each direction of motion (x,y,z) * If you remove the freedom of the nonlinear warp to move data in the z-direction (say), then there would be 12 parameters left. * If you instead remove the freedom of the nonlinear warp to depend on the z-coordinate, you would be left with 3 basis functions (p2_xz, p2_yz, and p2_zz would be eliminated), each of which would have x-motion, y-motion, and z-motion parameters, so there would be 9 parameters. ++ To fix motion along the x-direction, use the option '-nwarp_fixmotX' (and '-nwarp_fixmotY' and '-nwarp_fixmotZ). ++ To fix dependence of the polynomial warp on the x-coordinate, use the option '-nwarp_fixdepX' (et cetera). ++ These coordinate labels in the options (X Y Z) refer to the DICOM directions (X=R-L, Y=A-P, Z=I-S). If you would rather fix things along the dataset storage axes, you can use the symbols I J K to indicate the fastest to slowest varying array dimensions (e.g., '-nwarp_fixdepK'). * Mixing up the X Y Z and I J K forms of parameter freezing (e.g., '-nwarp_fixmotX -nwarp_fixmotJ') may cause trouble! ++ If you input a 2D dataset (a single slice) to be registered with '-nwarp', the program automatically assumes '-nwarp_fixmotK' and '-nwarp_fixdepK' so there are no out-of-plane parameters or dependence. The number of nonlinear parameters is then: 2D: cubic = 14 ; quintic = 36 ; heptic = 66 ; nonic = 104. 3D: cubic = 48 ; quintic = 156 ; heptic = 348 ; nonic = 648. [ n-th order: 2D = (n+4)*(n-1) ; 3D = (n*n+7*n+18)*(n-1)/2 ] ++ Note that these '-nwarp_fix' options have no effect on the affine part of the warp -- if you want to constrain that as well, you'll have to use the '-parfix' option. * However, for 2D images, the affine part will automatically be restricted to in-plane (6 parameter) 'motions'. ++ If you save the warp parameters (with '-1Dparam_save') when doing 2D registration, all the parameters will be saved, even the large number of them that are fixed to zero. You can use '1dcat -nonfixed' to remove these columns from the 1D file if you want to further process the varying parameters (e.g., 1dsvd). **++ The mapping from I J K to X Y Z (DICOM coordinates), where the '-nwarp_fix' constraints are actually applied, is very simple: given the command to fix K (say), the coordinate X, or Y, or Z whose direction most closely aligns with the dataset K grid direction is chosen. Thus, for coronal images, K is in the A-P direction, so '-nwarp_fixmotK' is translated to '-nwarp_fixmotY'. * This simplicity means that using the '-nwarp_fix' commands on oblique datasets is problematic. Perhaps it would work in combination with the '-EPI' option, but that has not been tested. -nwarp NOTES: ------------- * -nwarp is slow - reeeaaallll slow - use it with OpenMP! * Check the results to make sure the optimizer didn't run amok! (You should ALWAYS do this with any registration software.) * For the nonlinear warps, the largest coefficient allowed is set to 0.10 by default. If you wish to change this, use an option like '-nwarp_parmax 0.05' (to make the allowable amount of nonlinear deformation half the default). ++ N.B.: Increasing the maximum past 0.10 may give very bad results!! * If you use -1Dparam_save, then you can apply the nonlinear warp to another dataset using -1Dparam_apply in a later 3dAllineate run. To do so, use '-nwarp xxx' in both runs , so that the program knows what the extra parameters in the file are to be used for. ++ Bilinear: 43 values are saved in 1 row of the param file. ++ The first 12 are the affine parameters ++ The next 27 are the D1,D2,D3 matrix parameters (cf. infra). ++ The final 'extra' 4 values are used to specify the center of coordinates (vector Xc below), and a pre-computed scaling factor applied to parameters #13..39. ++ For polynomial warps, a similar format is used (mutatis mutandis). * The option '-nwarp_save sss' lets you save a 3D dataset of the the displacement field used to create the output dataset. This dataset can be used in program 3dNwarpApply to warp other datasets. ++ If the warp is symbolized by x -> w(x) [here, x is a DICOM 3-vector], then the '-nwarp_save' dataset contains w(x)-x; that is, it contains the warp displacement of each grid point from its grid location. ++ Also see program 3dNwarpCalc for other things you can do with this file: warp inversion, catenation, square root, ... * Bilinear warp formula: Xout = inv[ I + {D1 (Xin-Xc) | D2 (Xin-Xc) | D3 (Xin-Xc)} ] [ A Xin ] where Xin = input vector (base dataset coordinates) Xout = output vector (source dataset coordinates) Xc = center of coordinates used for nonlinearity (will be the center of the base dataset volume) A = matrix representing affine transformation (12 params) I = 3x3 identity matrix D1,D2,D3 = three 3x3 matrices (the 27 'new' parameters) * when all 27 parameters == 0, warp is purely affine {P|Q|R} = 3x3 matrix formed by adjoining the 3-vectors P,Q,R inv[...] = inverse 3x3 matrix of stuff inside '[...]' * The inverse of a bilinear transformation is another bilinear transformation. Someday, I may write a program that will let you compute that inverse transformation, so you can use it for some cunning and devious purpose. * If you expand the inv[...] part of the above formula in a 1st order Taylor series, you'll see that a bilinear warp is basically a quadratic warp, with the additional feature that its inverse is directly computable (unlike a pure quadratic warp). * 'bilinearD' means the matrices D1, D2, and D3 with be constrained to be diagonal (a total of 9 nonzero values), rather than full (a total of 27 nonzero values). This option is much faster. * Is '-nwarp bilinear' useful? Try it and tell me! * Unlike a bilinear warp, the polynomial warps cannot be exactly inverted. At some point, I'll write a program to compute an approximate inverse, if there is enough clamor for such a toy. =========================================================================== ========================================================================= * This binary version of 3dAllineate is compiled using OpenMP, a semi- automatic parallelizer software toolkit, which splits the work across multiple CPUs/cores on the same shared memory computer. * OpenMP is NOT like MPI -- it does not work with CPUs connected only by a network (e.g., OpenMP doesn't work with 'cluster' setups). * For implementation and compilation details, please see https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/misc/OpenMP.html * The number of CPU threads used will default to the maximum number on your system. You can control this value by setting environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS to some smaller value (including 1). * Un-setting OMP_NUM_THREADS resets OpenMP back to its default state of using all CPUs available. ++ However, on some systems, it seems to be necessary to set variable OMP_NUM_THREADS explicitly, or you only get one CPU. ++ On other systems with many CPUS, you probably want to limit the CPU count, since using more than (say) 16 threads is probably useless. * You must set OMP_NUM_THREADS in the shell BEFORE running the program, since OpenMP queries this variable BEFORE the program actually starts. ++ You can't usefully set this variable in your ~/.afnirc file or on the command line with the '-D' option. * How many threads are useful? That varies with the program, and how well it was coded. You'll have to experiment on your own systems! * The number of CPUs on this particular computer system is ...... 2. * The maximum number of CPUs that will be used is now set to .... 2. * OpenMP may or may not speed up the program significantly. Limited tests show that it provides some benefit, particularly when using the more complicated interpolation methods (e.g., '-cubic' and/or '-final wsinc5'), for up to 3-4 CPU threads. * But the speedup is definitely not linear in the number of threads, alas.

This program is for converting spectral amplitudes into standard RSFC parameters. This function is made to work directly with the outputs of 3dLombScargle, but you could use other inputs that have similar formatting. (3dLombScargle's main algorithm is special because it calculates spectra from time series with nonconstant sampling, such as if some time points have been censored during processing-- check it out!.) At present, 6 RSFC parameters get returned in separate volumes: ALFF, mALFF, fALFF, RSFA, mRSFA and fRSFA. For more information about each RSFC parameter, see, e.g.: ALFF/mALFF -- Zang et al. (2007), fALFF -- Zou et al. (2008), RSFA -- Kannurpatti & Biswal (2008). You can also see the help of 3dRSFC, as well as the Appendix of Taylor, Gohel, Di, Walter and Biswal (2012) for a mathematical description and set of relations. NB: *if* you want to input an unbandpassed time series and do some filtering/other processing at the same time as estimating RSFC parameters, then you would want to use 3dRSFC, instead. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * + COMMAND: 3dAmpToRSFC { -in_amp AMPS | -in_pow POWS } -prefix PREFIX \ -band FBOT FTOP { -mask MASK } { -nifti } * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * + RUNNING: -in_amp AMPS :input file of one-sided spectral amplitudes, such as output by 3dLombScargle.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE IT ANYWAY, PERHAPS BECAUSE IT WORKS BETTER ON YOUR 12th CENTURY PLANTAGENET ANALYZE FILES, ADD THE OPTION -OK TO YOUR COMMAND LINE. Usage: 3dANALYZEtoAFNI [options] file1.hdr file2.hdr ... This program constructs a 'volumes' stored AFNI dataset from the ANALYZE-75 files file1.img file2.img .... In this type of dataset, there is only a .HEAD file; the .BRIK file is replaced by the collection of .img files. - Other AFNI programs can read (but not write) this type of dataset. - The advantage of using this type of dataset vs. one created with to3d is that you don't have to duplicate the image data into a .BRIK file, thus saving disk space. - The disadvantage of using 'volumes' for a multi-brick dataset is that all the .img files must be kept with the .HEAD file if you move the dataset around. - The .img files must be in the same directory as the .HEAD file. - Note that you put the .hdr files on the command line, but it is the .img files that will be named in the .HEAD file. - After this program is run, you must keep the .img files with the output .HEAD file. AFNI doesn't need the .hdr files, but other programs (e.g., FSL, SPM) will want them as well. Options: -prefix ppp = Save the dataset with the prefix name 'ppp'. [default='a2a'] -view vvv = Save the dataset in the 'vvv' view, where 'vvv' is one of 'orig', 'acpc', or 'tlrc'. [default='orig'] -TR ttt = For multi-volume datasets, create it as a 3D+time dataset with TR set to 'ttt'. -fbuc = For multi-volume datasets, create it as a functional bucket dataset. -abuc = For multi-volume datasets, create it as an anatomical bucket dataset. ** If more than one ANALYZE file is input, and none of the above options is given, the default is as if '-TR 1s' was used. ** For single volume datasets (1 ANALYZE file input), the default is '-abuc'. -geomparent g = Use the .HEAD file from dataset 'g' to set the geometry of this dataset. ** If you don't use -geomparent, then the following options can be used to specify the geometry of this dataset: -orient code = Tells the orientation of the 3D volumes. The code must be 3 letters, one each from the pairs {R,L} {A,P} {I,S}. The first letter gives the orientation of the x-axis, the second the orientation of the y-axis, the third the z-axis: R = right-to-left L = left-to-right A = anterior-to-posterior P = posterior-to-anterior I = inferior-to-superior S = superior-to-inferior -zorigin dz = Puts the center of the 1st slice off at the given distance ('dz' in mm). This distance is in the direction given by the corresponding letter in the -orient code. For example, -orient RAI -zorigin 30 would set the center of the first slice at 30 mm Inferior. ** If the above options are NOT used to specify the geometry of the dataset, then the default is '-orient RAI', and the z origin is set to center the slices about z=0. It is likely that you will want to patch up the .HEAD file using program 3drefit. -- RWCox - June 2002. ** DON'T USE THIS PROGRAM! REALLY! USE 3dcopy OR to3d INSTEAD.

AFNI program: 3dAnatNudge
[7m*+ WARNING:[0m This program (3dAnatNudge) is old, obsolete, and not maintained! Usage: 3dAnatNudge [options] Moves the anat dataset around to best overlap the epi dataset. OPTIONS: -anat aaa = aaa is an 'scalped' (3dIntracranial) high-resolution anatomical dataset [a mandatory option] -epi eee = eee is an EPI dataset [a mandatory option] The first [0] sub-brick from each dataset is used, unless otherwise specified on the command line. -prefix ppp = ppp is the prefix of the output dataset; this dataset will differ from the input only in its name and its xyz-axes origin [default=don't write new dataset] -step sss = set the step size to be sss times the voxel size in the anat dataset [default=1.0] -x nx = search plus and minus nx steps along the EPI -y ny dataset's x-axis; similarly for ny and the -z nz y-axis, and for nz and the z-axis [default: nx=1 ny=5 nz=0] -verb = print progress reports (this is a slow program) NOTES *Systematically moves the anat dataset around and find the shift that maximizes overlap between the anat dataset and the EPI dataset. No rotations are done. *Note that if you use -prefix, a new dataset will be created that is a copy of the anat, except that it's origin will be shifted and it will have a different ID code than the anat. If you want to use this new dataset as the anatomy parent for the EPI datasets, you'll have to use 3drefit -apar ppp+orig eee1+orig eee2+orig ... *If no new dataset is written (no -prefix option), then you can use the 3drefit command emitted at the end to modify the origin of the anat dataset. (Assuming you trust the results - visual inspection is recommended!) *The reason the default search grid is mostly along the EPI y-axis is that axis is usually the phase-encoding direction, which is most subject to displacement due to off-resonance effects. *Note that the time this program takes will be proportional to (2*nx+1)*(2*ny+1)*(2*nz+1), so using a very large search grid will result in a very large usage of CPU time. *Recommended usage: + Make a 1-brick function volume from a typical EPI dataset: 3dbucket -fbuc -prefix epi_fb epi+orig + Use 3dIntracranial to scalp a T1-weighted volume: 3dIntracranial -anat spgr+orig -prefix spgr_st + Use 3dAnatNudge to produce a shifted anat dataset 3dAnatNudge -anat spgr_st+orig -epi epi_fb+orig -prefix spgr_nudge + Start AFNI and look at epi_fb overlaid in color on the anat datasets spgr_st+orig and spgr_nudge+orig, to see if the nudged dataset seems like a better fit. + Delete the nudged dataset spgr_nudge. + If the nudged dataset DOES look better, then apply the 3drefit command output by 3dAnatNudge to spgr+orig. *Note that the x-, y-, and z-axes for the epi and anat datasets may point in different directions (e.g., axial SPGR and coronal EPI). The 3drefit command applies to the anat dataset, NOT to the EPI dataset. *If the program runs successfully, the only thing set to stdout will be the 3drefit command string; all other messages go to stderr. This can be useful if you want to capture the command to a shell variable and then execute it, as in the following csh fragment: set cvar = `3dAnatNudge ...` if( $cvar[1] == "3drefit" ) $cvar The test on the first sub-string in cvar allows for the possibility that the program fails, or that the optimal nudge is zero. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dAnhist
Usage: 3dAnhist [options] dataset Input dataset is a T1-weighted high-res of the brain (shorts only). Output is a list of peaks in the histogram, to stdout, in the form ( datasetname #peaks peak1 peak2 ... ) In the C-shell, for example, you could do set anhist = `3dAnhist -q -w1 dset+orig` Then the number of peaks found is in the shell variable $anhist[2]. Options: -q = be quiet (don't print progress reports) -h = dump histogram data to Anhist.1D and plot to Anhist.ps -F = DON'T fit histogram with stupid curves. -w = apply a Winsorizing filter prior to histogram scan (or -w7 to Winsorize 7 times, etc.) -2 = Analyze top 2 peaks only, for overlap etc. -label xxx = Use 'xxx' for a label on the Anhist.ps plot file instead of the input dataset filename. -fname fff = Use 'fff' for the filename instead of 'Anhist'. If the '-2' option is used, AND if 2 peaks are detected, AND if the -h option is also given, then stdout will be of the form ( datasetname 2 peak1 peak2 thresh CER CJV count1 count2 count1/count2) where 2 = number of peaks thresh = threshold between peak1 and peak2 for decision-making CER = classification error rate of thresh CJV = coefficient of joint variation count1 = area under fitted PDF for peak1 count2 = area under fitted PDF for peak2 count1/count2 = ratio of the above quantities NOTA BENE --------- * If the input is a T1-weighted MRI dataset (the usual case), then peak 1 should be the gray matter (GM) peak and peak 2 the white matter (WM) peak. * For the definitions of CER and CJV, see the paper Method for Bias Field Correction of Brain T1-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Images Minimizing Segmentation Error JD Gispert, S Reig, J Pascau, JJ Vaquero, P Garcia-Barreno, and M Desco, Human Brain Mapping 22:133-144 (2004). * Roughly speaking, CER is the ratio of the overlapping area of the 2 peak fitted PDFs to the total area of the fitted PDFS. CJV is (sigma_GM+sigma_WM)/(mean_WM-mean_GM), and is a different, ad hoc, measurement of how much the two PDF overlap. * The fitted PDFs are NOT Gaussians. They are of the form f(x) = b((x-p)/w,a), where p=location of peak, w=width, 'a' is a skewness parameter between -1 and 1; the basic distribution is defined by b(x)=(1-x^2)^2*(1+a*x*abs(x)) for -1 < x < 1. -- RWCox - November 2004 ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dAttribute
Usage: 3dAttribute [options] aname dset Prints (to stdout) the value of the attribute 'aname' from the header of dataset 'dset'. If the attribute doesn't exist, prints nothing and sets the exit status to 1. Options: -name = Include attribute name in printout -all = Print all attributes [don't put aname on command line] Also implies '-name'. Attributes print in whatever order they are in the .HEAD file, one per line. You may want to do '3dAttribute -all elvis+orig | sort' to get them in alphabetical order. -center = Center of volume in RAI coordinates. Note that center is not itself an attribute in the .HEAD file. It is calculated from other attributes. Special options for string attributes: -ssep SSEP Use string SSEP as a separator between strings for multiple sub-bricks. The default is '~', which is what is used internally in AFNI's .HEAD file. For tcsh, I recommend ' ' which makes parsing easy, assuming each individual string contains no spaces to begin with. Try -ssep 'NUM' -sprep SPREP Use string SPREP to replace blank space in string attributes. -quote Use single quote around each string. Examples: 3dAttribute -quote -ssep ' ' BRICK_LABS SomeStatDset+tlrc.BRIK 3dAttribute -quote -ssep 'NUM' -sprep '+' BRICK_LABS SomeStatDset+tlrc.BRIK ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dAutobox
++ 3dAutobox: AFNI version=AFNI_19.3.16 (Dec 12 2019) [64-bit] Usage: 3dAutobox [options] DATASET Computes size of a box that fits around the volume. Also can be used to crop the volume to that box. OPTIONS: -------- -prefix PREFIX = Crop the input dataset to the size of the box, and write an output dataset with PREFIX for the name. * If -prefix is not used, no new volume is written out, just the (x,y,z) extents of the voxels to be kept. -input DATASET = An alternate way to specify the input dataset. The default method is to pass DATASET as the last parameter on the command line. -noclust = Don't do any clustering to find box. Any non-zero voxel will be preserved in the cropped volume. The default method uses some clustering to find the cropping box, and will clip off small isolated blobs. -extent: Write to standard out the spatial extent of the box -extent_ijk = Write out the 6 auto bbox ijk slice numbers to screen: imin imax jmin jmax kmin kmax Note that resampling would affect the ijk vals (but not necessarily the xyz ones). Also note that this value is calculated before any '-npad ...' option, so it would ignore that. -extent_ijk_to_file FF = Write out the 6 auto bbox ijk slice numbers to a simple-formatted text file FF (single row file): imin imax jmin jmax kmin kmax (same notes as above apply). -extent_ijk_midslice = Write out the 3 ijk midslices of the autobox to the screen: imid jmid kmid These are obtained via: (imin + imax)/2, etc. -extent_xyz_midslice = Write out the 3 xyz midslices of the autobox to the screen: xmid ymid zmid These are obtained via: (xmin + xmax)/2, etc. These follow the same meaning as '-extent'. -npad NNN = Number of extra voxels to pad on each side of box, since some troublesome people (that's you, LRF) want this feature for no apparent reason. * With this option, it is possible to get a dataset that is actually bigger than the input. * You can input a negative value for NNN, which will crop the dataset even more than the automatic method. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dAutomask
Usage: 3dAutomask [options] dataset Input dataset is EPI 3D+time, or a skull-stripped anatomical. Output dataset is a brain-only mask dataset. This program by itself does NOT do 'skull-stripping'. Use program 3dSkullStrip for that purpose! Method: + Uses 3dClipLevel algorithm to find clipping level. + Keeps only the largest connected component of the supra-threshold voxels, after an erosion/dilation step. + Writes result as a 'fim' type of functional dataset, which will be 1 inside the mask and 0 outside the mask. Options: -------- -prefix ppp = Write mask into dataset with prefix 'ppp'. [Default == 'automask'] -apply_prefix ppp = Apply mask to input dataset and save masked dataset. If an apply_prefix is given and not the usual prefix, the only output will be the applied dataset -clfrac cc = Set the 'clip level fraction' to 'cc', which must be a number between 0.1 and 0.9. A small 'cc' means to make the initial threshold for clipping (a la 3dClipLevel) smaller, which will tend to make the mask larger. [default=0.5] -nograd = The program uses a 'gradual' clip level by default. To use a fixed clip level, use '-nograd'. [Change to gradual clip level made 24 Oct 2006.] -peels pp = Peel the mask 'pp' times, then unpeel. Designed to clip off protuberances less than 2*pp voxels thick. [Default == 1] -nbhrs nn = Define the number of neighbors needed for a voxel NOT to be peeled. The 18 nearest neighbors in the 3D lattice are used, so 'nn' should be between 9 and 18. [Default == 17] -q = Don't write progress messages (i.e., be quiet). -eclip = After creating the mask, remove exterior voxels below the clip threshold. -dilate nd = Dilate the mask outwards 'nd' times. -erode ne = Erode the mask inwards 'ne' times. -SI hh = After creating the mask, find the most superior voxel, then zero out everything more than 'hh' millimeters inferior to that. hh=130 seems to be decent (i.e., for Homo Sapiens brains). -depth DEP = Produce a dataset (DEP) that shows how many peel operations it takes to get to a voxel in the mask. The higher the number, the deeper a voxel is located in the mask. None of -peels, -dilate, or -erode affect this option. -------------------------------------------------------------------- How to make an edge-of-brain mask from an anatomical volume: * 3dSkullStrip to create a brain-only dataset; say, Astrip+orig * 3dAutomask -prefix Amask Astrip+orig * Create a mask of edge-only voxels via 3dcalc -a Amask+orig -b a+i -c a-i -d a+j -e a-j -f a+k -g a-k \ -expr 'ispositive(a)*amongst(0,b,c,d,e,f,g)' -prefix Aedge which will be 1 at all voxels in the brain mask that have a nearest neighbor that is NOT in the brain mask. * cf. '3dcalc -help' DIFFERENTIAL SUBSCRIPTS for information on the 'a+i' et cetera inputs used above. * In regions where the brain mask is 'stair-stepping', then the voxels buried inside the corner of the steps probably won't show up in this edge mask: ...00000000... ...aaa00000... ...bbbaa000... ...bbbbbaa0... Only the 'a' voxels are in this edge mask, and the 'b' voxels down in the corners won't show up, because they only touch a 0 voxel on a corner, not face-on. Depending on your use for the edge mask, this effect may or may not be a problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dAutoTcorrelate
Usage: 3dAutoTcorrelate [options] dset Computes the correlation coefficient between the time series of each pair of voxels in the input dataset, and stores the output into a new anatomical bucket dataset [scaled to shorts to save memory space]. *** Also see program 3dTcorrMap *** Options: -pearson = Correlation is the normal Pearson (product moment) correlation coefficient [default]. -eta2 = Output is eta^2 measure from Cohen et al., NeuroImage, 2008: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2705206/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2008.01.066 ** '-eta2' is intended to be used to measure the similarity between 2 correlation maps; therefore, this option is to be used in a second stage analysis, where the input dataset is the output of running 3dAutoTcorrelate with the '-pearson' option -- the voxel 'time series' from that first stage run is the correlation map of that voxel with all other voxels. ** '-polort -1' is recommended with this option! ** Odds are you do not want use this option if the dataset on which eta^2 is to be computed was generated with options -mask_only_targets or -mask_source. In this program, the eta^2 is computed between pseudo- timeseries (the 4th dimension of the dataset). If you want to compute eta^2 between sub-bricks then use 3ddot -eta2 instead. -spearman AND -quadrant are disabled at this time :-( -polort m = Remove polynomial trend of order 'm', for m=-1..3. [default is m=1; removal is by least squares]. Using m=-1 means no detrending; this is only useful for data/information that has been pre-processed. -autoclip = Clip off low-intensity regions in the dataset, -automask = so that the correlation is only computed between high-intensity (presumably brain) voxels. The mask is determined the same way that 3dAutomask works. -mask mmm = Mask of both 'source' and 'target' voxels. ** Restricts computations to those in the mask. Output volumes are restricted to masked voxels. Also, only masked voxels will have non-zero output. ** A dataset with 1000 voxels would lead to output of 1000 sub-bricks. With a '-mask' of 50 voxels, the output dataset have 50 sub-bricks, where the 950 unmasked voxels would be all zero in all 50 sub-bricks (unless option '-mask_only_targets' is also used). ** The mask is encoded in the output dataset header in the attribute named 'AFNI_AUTOTCORR_MASK' (cf. 3dMaskToASCII). -mask_only_targets = Provide output for all voxels. ** Used with '-mask': every voxel is correlated with each of the mask voxels. In the example above, there would be 50 output sub-bricks; the n-th output sub-brick would contain the correlations of the n-th voxel in the mask with ALL 1000 voxels in the dataset (rather than with just the 50 voxels in the mask). -mask_source sss = Provide ouput for voxels only in mask sss ** For each seed in mask mm, compute correlations only with non-zero voxels in sss. If you have 250 non-zero voxels in sss, then the output will still have 50 sub-bricks, but each n-th sub-brick will have non-zero values at the 250 non-zero voxels in sss Do not use this option along with -mask_only_targets -prefix p = Save output into dataset with prefix 'p' [default prefix is 'ATcorr']. -out1D FILE.1D = Save output in a text file formatted thusly: Row 1 contains the 1D indices of non zero voxels in the mask from option -mask. Column 1 contains the 1D indices of non zero voxels in the mask from option -mask_source The rest of the matrix contains the correlation/eta2 values. Each column k corresponds to sub-brick k in the output volume p. To see 1D indices in AFNI, right click on the top left corner of the AFNI controller - where coordinates are shown - and chose voxel indices. A 1D index (ijk) is computed from the 3D (i,j,k) indices: ijk = i + j*Ni + k*Ni*Nj , with Ni and Nj being the number of voxels in the slice orientation and given by: 3dinfo -ni -nj YOUR_VOLUME_HERE This option can only be used in conjunction with options -mask and -mask_source. Otherwise it makes little sense to write a potentially enormous text file. -time = Mark output as a 3D+time dataset instead of an anat bucket. -mmap = Write .BRIK results to disk directly using Unix mmap(). This trick can speed the program up when the amount of memory required to hold the output is very large. ** In many case, the amount of time needed to write the results to disk is longer than the CPU time. This option can shorten the disk write time. ** If the program crashes, you'll have to manually remove the .BRIK file, which will have been created before the loop over voxels and written into during that loop, rather than being written all at once at the end of the analysis, as is usually the case. ** If the amount of memory needed is bigger than the RAM on your system, this program will be very slow with or without '-mmap'. ** This option won't work with NIfTI-1 (.nii) output! Example: correlate every voxel in mask_in+tlrc with only those voxels in mask_out+tlrc (the rest of each volume is zero, for speed). Assume detrending was already done along with other pre-processing. The output will have one volume per masked voxel in mask_in+tlrc. Volumes will be labeled by the ijk index triples of mask_in+tlrc. 3dAutoTcorrelate -mask_source mask_out+tlrc -mask mask_in+tlrc \ -polort -1 -prefix test_corr clean_epi+tlrc Notes: * The output dataset is anatomical bucket type of shorts (unless '-time' is used). * Values are scaled so that a correlation (or eta-squared) of 1 corresponds to a value of 10000. * The output file might be gigantic and you might run out of memory running this program. Use at your own risk! ++ If you get an error message like *** malloc error for dataset sub-brick this means that the program ran out of memory when making the output dataset. ++ If this happens, you can try to use the '-mmap' option, and if you are lucky, the program may actually run. * The program prints out an estimate of its memory usage when it starts. It also prints out a progress 'meter' to keep you pacified. * This is a quick hack for Peter Bandettini. Now pay up. * OpenMP-ized for Hang Joon Jo.

Other uses are left to your imagination. * 'dataset' is a 3D+time sequence of volumes ++ This must be a single imaging run -- that is, no discontinuities in time from 3dTcat-ing multiple datasets together. * fbot = lowest frequency in the passband, in Hz ++ fbot can be 0 if you want to do a lowpass filter only; HOWEVER, the mean and Nyquist freq are always removed. * ftop = highest frequency in the passband (must be > fbot) ++ if ftop > Nyquist freq, then it's a highpass filter only. * Set fbot=0 and ftop=99999 to do an 'allpass' filter. ++ Except for removal of the 0 and Nyquist frequencies, that is. * You cannot construct a 'notch' filter with this program! ++ You could use 3dBandpass followed by 3dcalc to get the same effect. ++ If you are understand what you are doing, that is. ++ Of course, that is the AFNI way -- if you don't want to understand what you are doing, use Some other PrograM, and you can still get Fine StatisticaL maps. * 3dBandpass will fail if fbot and ftop are too close for comfort. ++ Which means closer than one frequency grid step df, where df = 1 / (nfft * dt) [of course] * The actual FFT length used will be printed, and may be larger than the input time series length for the sake of efficiency. ++ The program will use a power-of-2, possibly multiplied by a power of 3 and/or 5 (up to and including the 3rd power of each of these: 3, 9, 27, and 5, 25, 125). * Note that the results of combining 3dDetrend and 3dBandpass will depend on the order in which you run these programs.

AFNI program: 3dBlurInMask
Usage: ~1~ 3dBlurInMask [options] Blurs a dataset spatially inside a mask. That's all. Experimental. OPTIONS ~1~ ------- -input ddd = This required 'option' specifies the dataset that will be smoothed and output. -FWHM f = Add 'f' amount of smoothness to the dataset (in mm). **N.B.: This is also a required 'option'. -FWHMdset d = Read in dataset 'd' and add the amount of smoothness given at each voxel -- spatially variable blurring. ** EXPERIMENTAL EXPERIMENTAL EXPERIMENTAL ** -mask mmm = Mask dataset, if desired. Blurring will occur only within the mask. Voxels NOT in the mask will be set to zero in the output. -Mmask mmm = Multi-mask dataset -- each distinct nonzero value in dataset 'mmm' will be treated as a separate mask for blurring purposes. **N.B.: 'mmm' must be byte- or short-valued! -automask = Create an automask from the input dataset. **N.B.: only 1 masking option can be used! -preserve = Normally, voxels not in the mask will be set to zero in the output. If you want the original values in the dataset to be preserved in the output, use this option. -prefix ppp = Prefix for output dataset will be 'ppp'. **N.B.: Output dataset is always in float format. -quiet = Don't be verbose with the progress reports. -float = Save dataset as floats, no matter what the input data type is. **N.B.: If the input dataset is unscaled shorts, then the default is to save the output in short format as well. In EVERY other case, the program saves the output as floats. Thus, the ONLY purpose of the '-float' option is to force an all-shorts input dataset to be saved as all-floats after blurring. NOTES ~1~ ----- * If you don't provide a mask, then all voxels will be included in the blurring. (But then why are you using this program?) * Note that voxels inside the mask that are not contiguous with any other voxels inside the mask will not be modified at all! * Works iteratively, similarly to 3dBlurToFWHM, but without the extensive overhead of monitoring the smoothness. * But this program will be faster than 3dBlurToFWHM, and probably slower than 3dmerge. * Since the blurring is done iteratively, rather than all-at-once as in 3dmerge, the results will be slightly different than 3dmerge's, even if no mask is used here (3dmerge, of course, doesn't take a mask). * If the original FWHM of the dataset was 'S' and you input a value 'F' with the '-FWHM' option, then the output dataset's smoothness will be about sqrt(S*S+F*F). The number of iterations will be about (F*F/d*d) where d=grid spacing; this means that a large value of F might take a lot of CPU time! * The spatial smoothness of a 3D+time dataset can be estimated with a command similar to the following: 3dFWHMx -detrend -mask mmm+orig -input ddd+orig * The minimum number of voxels in the mask is 9 * Isolated voxels will be removed from the mask! ========================================================================= * This binary version of 3dBlurInMask is compiled using OpenMP, a semi- automatic parallelizer software toolkit, which splits the work across multiple CPUs/cores on the same shared memory computer. * OpenMP is NOT like MPI -- it does not work with CPUs connected only by a network (e.g., OpenMP doesn't work with 'cluster' setups). * For implementation and compilation details, please see https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/misc/OpenMP.html * The number of CPU threads used will default to the maximum number on your system.

AFNI program: 3dBlurToFWHM
Usage: 3dBlurToFWHM [options] Blurs a 'master' dataset until it reaches a specified FWHM smoothness (approximately). The same blurring schedule is applied to the input dataset to produce the output. The goal is to make the output dataset have the given smoothness, no matter what smoothness it had on input (however, the program cannot 'unsmooth' a dataset!). See below for the METHOD used. OPTIONS ------- -input ddd = This required 'option' specifies the dataset that will be smoothed and output. -blurmaster bbb = This option specifies the dataset whose whose smoothness controls the process. **N.B.: If not given, the input dataset is used. **N.B.: This should be one continuous run. Do not input catenated runs! -prefix ppp = Prefix for output dataset will be 'ppp'. **N.B.: Output dataset is always in float format. -mask mmm = Mask dataset, if desired. Blurring will occur only within the mask. Voxels NOT in the mask will be set to zero in the output. -automask = Create an automask from the input dataset. **N.B.: Not useful if the input dataset has been detrended or otherwise regressed before input! -FWHM f = Blur until the 3D FWHM is 'f'. -FWHMxy f = Blur until the 2D (x,y)-plane FWHM is 'f'. No blurring is done along the z-axis. **N.B.: Note that you can't REDUCE the smoothness of a dataset. **N.B.: Here, 'x', 'y', and 'z' refer to the grid/slice order as stored in the dataset, not DICOM ordered coordinates! **N.B.: With -FWHMxy, smoothing is done only in the dataset xy-plane. With -FWHM, smoothing is done in 3D. **N.B.: The actual goal is reached when -FWHM : cbrt(FWHMx*FWHMy*FWHMz) >= f -FWHMxy: sqrt(FWHMx*FWHMy) >= f That is, when the area or volume of a 'resolution element' goes past a threshold. -quiet Shut up the verbose progress reports. **N.B.: This should be the first option, to stifle any verbosity from the option processing code. FILE RECOMMENDATIONS for -blurmaster: For FMRI statistical purposes, you DO NOT want the FWHM to reflect the spatial structure of the underlying anatomy. Rather, you want the FWHM to reflect the spatial structure of the noise. This means that the -blurmaster dataset should not have anatomical structure. One good form of input is the output of '3dDeconvolve -errts', which is the residuals left over after the GLM fitted signal model is subtracted out from each voxel's time series. You can also use the output of '3dREMLfit -Rerrts' or '3dREMLfit -Rwherr' for this purpose. You CAN give a multi-brick EPI dataset as the -blurmaster dataset; the dataset will be detrended in time (like the -detrend option in 3dFWHMx) which will tend to remove the spatial structure. This makes it practicable to make the input and blurmaster datasets be the same, without having to create a detrended or residual dataset beforehand. Considering the accuracy of blurring estimates, this is probably good enough for government work [that is an insider's joke :-]. N.B.: Do not use catenated runs as blurmasters. There should be no discontinuities in the time axis of blurmaster, which would make the simple regression detrending do peculiar things. ALSO SEE: * 3dFWHMx, which estimates smoothness globally * 3dLocalstat -stat FWHM, which estimates smoothness locally * This paper, which discusses the need for a fixed level of smoothness when combining FMRI datasets from different scanner platforms: Friedman L, Glover GH, Krenz D, Magnotta V; The FIRST BIRN. Reducing inter-scanner variability of activation in a multicenter fMRI study: role of smoothness equalization. Neuroimage. 2006 Oct 1;32(4):1656-68. METHOD: The blurring is done by a conservative finite difference approximation to the diffusion equation: du/dt = d/dx[ D_x(x,y,z) du/dx ] + d/dy[ D_y(x,y,z) du/dy ] + d/dz[ D_z(x,y,z) du/dz ] = div[ D(x,y,z) grad[u(x,y,z)] ] where diffusion tensor D() is diagonal, Euler time-stepping is used, and with Neumann (reflecting) boundary conditions at the edges of the mask (which ensures that voxel data inside and outside the mask don't mix). * At each pseudo-time step, the FWHM is estimated globally (like '3dFWHMx') and locally (like '3dLocalstat -stat FWHM'). Voxels where the local FWHM goes past the goal will not be smoothed any more (D gets set to zero). * When the global smoothness estimate gets close to the goal, the blurring rate (pseudo-time step) will be reduced, to avoid over-smoothing. * When an individual direction's smoothness (e.g., FWHMz) goes past the goal, all smoothing in that direction stops, but the other directions continue to be smoothed until the overall resolution element goal is achieved. * When the global FWHM estimate reaches the goal, the program is done. It will also stop if progress stalls for some reason, or if the maximum iteration count is reached (infinite loops being unpopular). * The output dataset will NOT have exactly the smoothness you ask for, but it will be close (fondly we do hope). In our Imperial experiments, the results (measured via 3dFWHMx) are within 10% of the goal (usually better). * 2D blurring via -FWHMxy may increase the smoothness in the z-direction reported by 3dFWHMx, even though there is no inter-slice processing. At this moment, I'm not sure why. It may be an estimation artifact due to increased correlation in the xy-plane that biases the variance estimates used to calculate FWHMz. ADVANCED OPTIONS: -maxite ccc = Set maximum number of iterations to 'ccc' [Default=variable]. -rate rrr = The value of 'rrr' should be a number between 0.05 and 3.5, inclusive. It is a factor to change the overall blurring rate (slower for rrr < 1) and thus require more or less blurring steps. This option should only be needed to slow down the program if the it over-smooths significantly (e.g., it overshoots the desired FWHM in Iteration #1 or #2). You can increase the speed by using rrr > 1, but be careful and examine the output. -nbhd nnn = As in 3dLocalstat, specifies the neighborhood used to compute local smoothness. [Default = 'SPHERE(-4)' in 3D, 'SPHERE(-6)' in 2D] ** N.B.: For the 2D -FWHMxy, a 'SPHERE()' nbhd is really a circle in the xy-plane. ** N.B.: If you do NOT want to estimate local smoothness, use '-nbhd NULL'. -ACF or -acf = Use the 'ACF' method (from 3dFWHMx) to estimate the global smoothness, rather than the 'classic' Forman 1995 method. This option will be somewhat slower. It will also set '-nbhd NULL', since there is no local ACF estimation method implemented. -bsave bbb = Save the local smoothness estimates at each iteration with dataset prefix 'bbb' [for debugging purposes]. -bmall = Use all blurmaster sub-bricks. [Default: a subset will be chosen, for speed] -unif = Uniformize the voxel-wise MAD in the blurmaster AND input datasets prior to blurring. Will be restored in the output dataset. -detrend = Detrend blurmaster dataset to order NT/30 before starting. -nodetrend = Turn off detrending of blurmaster. ** N.B.: '-detrend' is the new default [05 Jun 2007]! -detin = Also detrend input before blurring it, then retrend it afterwards. [Off by default] -temper = Try harder to make the smoothness spatially uniform. -- Author: The Dreaded Emperor Zhark - Nov 2006 ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dBrainSync
Usage: 3dBrainSync [options] This program 'synchronizes' the -inset2 dataset to match the -inset1 dataset, as much as possible (average voxel-wise correlation), using the same transformation on each input time series from -inset2: ++ With the -Qprefix option, the transformation is an orthogonal matrix, computed as described in Joshi's original OHBM 2017 presentations. ++ With the -Pprefix option, the transformation is simply a permutation of the time order of -inset2 (a special case of an orthogonal matrix). ++ The algorithms and a little discussion of the different features of these two techniques are discussed in the METHODS section, infra. ++ At least one of '-Qprefix' or '-Pprefix' must be given, or this program does not do anything! You can use both methods, if you want to compare them. ++ 'Harmonize' might be a better name for what this program does, but calling it 3dBrainHarm would probably not be good marketing (except for Traumatic Brain Injury researchers?). One possible application of this program is to correlate resting state FMRI datasets between subjects, voxel-by-voxel, as is sometimes done with naturalistic stimuli (e.g., movie viewing). -------- OPTIONS: -------- -inset1 dataset1 = Reference dataset -inset2 dataset2 = Dataset to be matched to the reference dataset, as much as possible. ++ These 2 datasets must be on the same spatial grid, and must have the same number of time points! ++ There must be at least twice as many voxels being processed as there are time points (see '-mask', below). ++ These are both MANDATORY 'options'. ++ As usual in AFNI, since the computations herein are voxel-wise, it is possible to input plain text .1D files as datasets. When doing so, remember that a ROW in the .1D file is interpreted as a time series (single voxel's data). If your .1D files are oriented so that time runs in down the COLUMNS, you will have to transpose the inputs, which can be done on the command line with the \' operator, or externally using the 1dtranspose program. -->>++ These input datasets should be pre-processed first to remove undesirable components (motions, baseline, spikes, breathing, etc). Otherwise, you will be trying to match artifacts between the datasets, which is not likely to be interesting or useful. 3dTproject would be one way to do this. Even better: afni_proc.py! ++ In particular, the mean of each time series should have been removed! Otherwise, the calculations are fairly meaningless. -Qprefix qqq = Specifies the output dataset to be used for the orthogonal matrix transformation. ++ This will be the -inset2 dataset transformed to be as correlated as possible (in time) with the -inset1 dataset, given the constraint that the transformation applied to each time series is an orthogonal matrix. -Pprefix ppp = Specifies the output dataset to be used for the permutation transformation. ++ The output dataset is the -inset2 dataset re-ordered in time, again to make the result as correlated as possible with the -inset1 dataset. -normalize = Normalize the output dataset(s) so that each time series has sum-of-squares = 1. ++ This option is not usually needed in AFNI (e.g., 3dTcorrelate does not care). -mask mset = Only operate on nonzero voxels in the mset dataset. ++ Voxels outside the mask will not be used in computing the transformation, but WILL be transformed for your application and/or edification later. ++ For FMRI purposes, a gray matter mask would make sense here, or at least a brain mask. ++ If no masking option is given, then all voxels will be processed in computing the transformation. This set will include all non-brain voxels (if any). ++ Any voxel which is all constant in time (in either input) will be removed from the mask. ++ This mask dataset must be on the same spatial grid as the other input datasets! -verb = Print some progress reports and auxiliary information. ++ Use this option twice to get LOTS of progress reports; mostly useful for debugging. ------ NOTES: ------ * Is this program useful? Not even The Shadow knows! (But do NOT call it BS.) * The output dataset is in floating point format. * Although the goal of 3dBrainSync is to make the transformed -inset2 as correlated (voxel-by-voxel) as possible with -inset1, it does not actually compute that correlation dataset. You can do that computation with program 3dTcorrelate, as in 3dTcorrelate -polort -1 -prefix AB.pcor.nii \ dataset1 transformed-dataset2 * Besides the transformed dataset(s), if the '-verb' option is used, some other (text formatted) files are written out: {Qprefix}.sval.1D = singular values from the BC' decomposition {Qprefix}.qmat.1D = Q matrix {Pprefix}.perm.1D = permutation indexes p(i) You probably do not have any use for these files; they are mostly present to diagnose any problems. -------- METHODS: -------- * Notation used in the explanations below: M = Number of time points N = Number of voxels > M (N = size of mask) B = MxN matrix of time series from -inset1 C = MxN matrix of time series from -inset2 Both matrices will have each column normalized to have sum-of-squares = 1 (L2 normalized) -- the program does this operation internally; you do not have to ensure that the input datasets are so normalized) Q = Desired orthgonal MxM matrix to transform C such that B-QC is as small as possible (sum-of-squares = Frobenius norm) normF(A) = sum_{ij} A_{ij}^2 = trace(AA') = trace(A'A). NOTE: This norm is different from the matrix L2 norm. NOTE: A' denotes the transpose of A. * The expansion below shows why the matrix BC' is crucial to the analysis: normF(B-QC) = trace( [B-QC][B'-C'Q'] ) = trace(BB') + trace(QCC'Q') - trace(BC'Q') - trace(QCB') = trace(BB') + trace(C'C) - 2 trace(BC'Q') The second term collapses because trace(AA') = trace(A'A), so trace([QC][QC]') = trace([QC]'[QC]) = trace(C'Q'QC) = trace(C'C) because Q is orthogonal. So the first 2 terms in the expansion of normF(B-QC) do not depend on Q at all. Thus, to minimize normF(B-QC), we have to maximize trace(BC'Q') = trace([B][QC]') = trace([QC][B]'). Since the columns of B and C are the (normalized) time series, each row represents the image at a particular time. So the (i,j) element of BC' is the (spatial) dot product of the i-th TR image from -inset1 with the j-th TR image from -inset2. Furthermore, trace(BC') = trace(C'B) = sum of dot products (correlations) of all time series. So maximizing trace(BC'Q') will maximize the summed correlations of B (time series from -inset1) and QC (transformed time series from -inset2). Note again that the sum of correlations (dot products) of all the time series is equal to the sum of dot products of all the spatial images. So the algorithm to find the transformation Q is to maximize the sum of dot products of spatial images from B with Q-transformed spatial images from C -- since there are fewer time points than voxels, this is more efficient and elegant than trying to maximize the sum over voxels of dot products of time series. If you use the '-verb' option, these summed correlations ('scores') are printed to stderr during the analysis. * Joshi method [-Qprefix]: (a) compute MxM matrix B C' (b) compute SVD of B C' = U S V' (U, S, V are MxM matrices) (c) Q = U V' [note: if B=C, then U=V, so Q=I, as it should] (d) transform each time series from -inset2 using Q This matrix Q is the solution to the restricted least squares problem (i.e., restricted to have Q be an orthogonal matrix). NOTE: The sum of the singular values in S is equal to the sum of the time series dot products (correlations) in B and QC, when Q is calculated as above. A pre-print of this method is available as: AA Joshi, M Chong, RM Leahy. BrainSync: An Orthogonal Transformation for Synchronization of fMRI Data Across Subjects, Proc. MICCAI 2017 https://www.dropbox.com/s/tu4kuqqlg6r02kt/brainsync_miccai2017.pdf https://www.google.com/search?q=joshi+brainsync http://neuroimage.usc.edu/neuro/Resources/BrainSync * Permutation method [-Pprefix]: (a) Compute B C' (as above) (b) Find a permutation p(i) of the integers {0..M-1} such that sum_i { (BC')[i,p(i)] } is as large as possible (i.e., p() is used as a permutation of the COLUMNS of BC'). This permutation is equivalent to post-multiplying BC' by an orthogonal matrix P representing the permutation; such a P is full of 0s except for a single 1 in each row and each column. (c) Permute the ROWS (time direction) of the time series matrix from -inset2 using p(). Only an approximate (greedy) algorithm is used to find this permutation; that is, the best permutation is not guaranteed to be found (just a 'good' permutation -- it is the best thing I could code quickly :). Algorithm currently implemented (let D=BC' for notational simplicity): 1) Find the largest element D(i,j) in the matrix. Then the permutation at row i is p(i)=j. Strike row i and column j out of the matrix D. 2) Repeat, finding the largest element left, say at D(f,g). Then p(f) = g. Strike row f and column g from the matrix. Repeat until done. (Choosing the largest possible element at each step is what makes this method 'greedy'.) This permutation is not optimal but is pretty good, and another step is used to improve it: 3) For all pairs (i,j), p(i) and p(j) are swapped and that permutation is tested to see if the trace gets bigger. 4) This pair-wise swapping is repeated until it does not improve things any more (typically, it improves the trace about 1-2% -- not much). The purpose of the pair swapping is to deal with situations where D looks something like this: [ 1 70 ] [ 70 99 ] Step 1 would pick out 99, and Step 2 would pick out 1; that is, p(2)=2 and then p(1)=1, for a total trace/score of 100. But swapping 1 and 2 would give a total trace/score of 140. In practice, extreme versions of this situation do not seem common with real FMRI data, probably because the subject's brain isn't actively conspiring against this algorithm :) [Something called the 'Hungarian algorithm' can solve for the optimal] [permutation exactly, but I've not had the inclination to program it.] This whole permutation optimization procedure is very fast: about 1 second. In the RS-FMRI data I've tried this on, the average time series correlation resulting from this optimization is 50-65% of that which comes from optimizing over ALL orthogonal matrices (Joshi method). If you use '-verb', the stderr output line that looks like this + corr scores: original=-722.5 Q matrix=22366.0 permutation=12918.7 57.8% shows trace(BC') before any transforms, with the Q matrix transform, and with the permutation transform. As explained above, trace(BC') is the summed correlations of the time series (since the columns of B and C are normalized prior to the optimizations); in this example, the ratio of the average time series correlation between the permutation method and the Joshi method is about 58% (in a gray matter mask with 72221 voxels). * Results from the permutation method MUST be less correlated (on average) with -inset1 than the Joshi method's results: the permutation can be thought of as an orthogonal matrix containing only 1s and 0s, and the BEST possible orthogonal matrix, from Joshi's method, has more general entries. ++ However, the permutation method has an obvious interpretation (re-ordering time points), while the general method linearly combines different time points (perhaps far apart); the interpretation of this combination in terms of synchronizing brain activity is harder to intuit (at least for me). ++ Another feature of a permutation-only transformation is that it cannot change the sign of data, unlike a general orthgonal matrix; e.g., [ 0 -1] [-1 0], which swaps 2 time points AND negates them, is a valid orthogonal matrix. For rs-FMRI datasets, this consideration might not be important, since correlations are generally positive, so don't often need sign-flipping to make them so. * This program is NOT multi-threaded. Typically, I/O is a big part of the run time (at least, for the cases I've tested). The '-verb' option will give progress reports with elapsed-time stamps, making it easy to see which parts of the program take the most time. * Author: RWCox, servant of the ChronoSynclastic Infundibulum - July 2017 * Thanks go to Anand Joshi for his clear exposition of BrainSync at OHBM 2017, and his encouragement about the development of this program. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dBrickStat
Usage: 3dBrickStat [options] dataset Compute maximum and/or minimum voxel values of an input dataset The output is a number to the console. The input dataset may use a sub-brick selection list, as in program 3dcalc. Note that this program computes ONE number as the output; e.g., the mean over all voxels and time points. If you want (say) the mean over all voxels but for each time point individually, see program 3dmaskave. Note: If you don't specify one sub-brick, the parameter you get ----- back is computed from all the sub-bricks in dataset. Options : -quick = get the information from the header only (default) -slow = read the whole dataset to find the min and max values all other options except min and max imply slow -min = print the minimum value in dataset -max = print the maximum value in dataset (default) -mean = print the mean value in dataset -sum = print the sum of values in the dataset -var = print the variance in the dataset -stdev = print the standard deviation in the dataset -stdev and -var are mutually exclusive -count = print the number of voxels included -volume = print the volume of voxels included in microliters -positive = include only positive voxel values -negative = include only negative voxel values -zero = include only zero voxel values -non-positive = include only voxel values 0 or negative -non-negative = include only voxel values 0 or greater -non-zero = include only voxel values not equal to 0 -absolute = use absolute value of voxel values for all calculations can be combined with restrictive non-positive, non-negative, etc. even if not practical. Ignored for percentile and median computations. -nan = include only voxel values that are finite numbers, not NaN, or inf. -nan forces -slow mode. -nonan =exclude voxel values that are not numbers -mask dset = use dset as mask to include/exclude voxels -mrange MIN MAX = Only accept values between MIN and MAX (inclusive) from the mask. Default it to accept all non-zero voxels. -mvalue VAL = Only accept values equal to VAL from the mask. -automask = automatically compute mask for dataset Can not be combined with -mask -percentile p0 ps p1 write the percentile values starting at p0% and ending at p1% at a step of ps% Output is of the form p% value p% value ... Percentile values are output first. Only one sub-brick is accepted as input with this option. Write the author if you REALLY need this option to work with multiple sub-bricks. -median a shortcut for -percentile 50 1 50 -ver = print author and version info -help = print this help screen INPUT DATASET NAMES ------------------- This program accepts datasets that are modified on input according to the following schemes: 'r1+orig[3..5]' {sub-brick selector} 'r1+orig<100..200>' {sub-range selector} 'r1+orig[3..5]<100..200>' {both selectors} '3dcalc( -a r1+orig -b r2+orig -expr 0.5*(a+b) )' {calculation} For the gruesome details, see the output of 'afni -help'. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

[default='./'=current working directory] -verb = Print out some verbose output as the program proceeds Command line arguments after the above are taken as input datasets. A dataset is specified using one of these forms: 'prefix+view', 'prefix+view.HEAD', or 'prefix+view.BRIK'. Sub-brick indexes start at 0. N.B.: The sub-bricks are output in the order specified, which may not be the order in the original datasets. For example, using fred+orig[5,3] will cause the sub-brick #5 in fred+orig to be output as the intensity sub-brick, and sub-brick #3 to be output as the threshold sub-brick in the new dataset. N.B.: The '$', '(', ')', '[', and ']' characters are special to the shell, so you will have to escape them. This is most easily done by putting the entire dataset plus selection list inside single quotes, as in 'fred+orig[5,9]'. ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dbucket
++ 3dbucket: AFNI version=AFNI_19.3.16 (Dec 12 2019) [64-bit] Concatenate sub-bricks from input datasets into one big 'bucket' dataset. ~1~ Usage: 3dbucket options where the options are: ~1~ -prefix pname = Use 'pname' for the output dataset prefix name. OR -output pname [default='buck'] -session dir = Use 'dir' for the output dataset session directory. [default='./'=current working directory] -glueto fname = Append bricks to the end of the 'fname' dataset. This command is an alternative to the -prefix and -session commands. * Note that fname should include the view, as in 3dbucket -glueto newset+orig oldset+orig'[7]' -aglueto fname= If fname dset does not exist, create it (like -prefix). Otherwise append to fname (like -glueto). This option is useful when appending in a loop. * As with -glueto, fname should include the view, e.g. 3dbucket -aglueto newset+orig oldset+orig'[7]' -dry = Execute a 'dry run'; that is, only print out what would be done. This is useful when combining sub-bricks from multiple inputs. -verb = Print out some verbose output as the program proceeds (-dry implies -verb). -fbuc = Create a functional bucket. -abuc = Create an anatomical bucket. If neither of these options is given, the output type is determined from the first input type. Command line arguments after the above are taken as input datasets. A dataset is specified using one of these forms: 'prefix+view', 'prefix+view.HEAD', or 'prefix+view.BRIK'. You can also add a sub-brick selection list after the end of the dataset name. This allows only a subset of the sub-bricks to be included into the output (by default, all of the input dataset is copied into the output). A sub-brick selection list looks like one of the following forms: fred+orig[5] ==> use only sub-brick #5 fred+orig[5,9,17] ==> use #5, #9, and #17 fred+orig[5..8] or [5-8] ==> use #5, #6, #7, and #8 fred+orig[5..13(2)] or [5-13(2)] ==> use #5, #7, #9, #11, and #13 Sub-brick indexes start at 0. You can use the character '$' to indicate the last sub-brick in a dataset; for example, you can select every third sub-brick by using the selection list fred+orig[0..$(3)] Notes: ~1~ N.B.: The sub-bricks are output in the order specified, which may not be the order in the original datasets. For example, using fred+orig[0..$(2),1..$(2)] will cause the sub-bricks in fred+orig to be output into the new dataset in an interleaved fashion. Using fred+orig[$..0] will reverse the order of the sub-bricks in the output. N.B.: Bucket datasets have multiple sub-bricks, but do NOT have a time dimension. You can input sub-bricks from a 3D+time dataset into a bucket dataset. You can use the '3dinfo' program to see how many sub-bricks a 3D+time or a bucket dataset contains. N.B.: The '$', '(', ')', '[', and ']' characters are special to the shell, so you will have to escape them. This is most easily done by putting the entire dataset plus selection list inside single quotes, as in 'fred+orig[5..7,9]'. N.B.: In non-bucket functional datasets (like the 'fico' datasets output by FIM, or the 'fitt' datasets output by 3dttest), sub-brick [0] is the 'intensity' and sub-brick [1] is the statistical parameter used as a threshold. Thus, to create a bucket dataset using the intensity from dataset A and the threshold from dataset B, and calling the output dataset C, you would type 3dbucket -prefix C -fbuc 'A+orig[0]' -fbuc 'B+orig[1]' WARNING: ~1~ Using this program, it is possible to create a dataset that has different basic datum types for different sub-bricks (e.g., shorts for brick 0, floats for brick 1). Do NOT do this! Very few AFNI programs will work correctly with such datasets! ++ Compile date = Dec 12 2019 {AFNI_19.3.16:linux_ubuntu_16_64}

AFNI program: 3dcalc
++ 3dcalc: AFNI version=AFNI_19.3.16 (Dec 12 2019) [64-bit] ++ Authored by: A cast of thousands Program: 3dcalc Author: RW Cox et al 3dcalc - AFNI's calculator program ~1~ This program does voxel-by-voxel arithmetic on 3D datasets (only limited inter-voxel computations are possible). The program assumes that the voxel-by-voxel computations are being performed on datasets that occupy the same space and have the same orientations. 3dcalc has a lot of input options, as its capabilities have grown over the years. So this 'help' output has gotten kind of long. For simple voxel-wise averaging of datasets: cf. 3dMean For averaging along the time axis: cf. 3dTstat For smoothing in time: cf. 3dTsmooth For statistics from a region around each voxel: cf. 3dLocalstat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Usage: ~1~ ----- 3dcalc -a dsetA [-b dsetB...] \ -expr EXPRESSION \ [options] Examples: ~1~ -------- 1. Average datasets together, on a voxel-by-voxel basis: 3dcalc -a fred+tlrc -b ethel+tlrc -c lucy+tlrc \ -expr '(a+b+c)/3' -prefix subjects_mean Averaging datasets can also be done by programs 3dMean and 3dmerge. Use 3dTstat to averaging across sub-bricks in a single dataset. 2. Perform arithmetic calculations between the sub-bricks of a single dataset by noting the sub-brick number on the command line: 3dcalc -a 'func+orig[2]' -b 'func+orig[4]' -expr 'sqrt(a*b)' 3. Create a simple mask that consists only of values in sub-brick #0 that are greater than 3.14159: 3dcalc -a 'func+orig[0]' -expr 'ispositive(a-3.14159)' \ -prefix mask 4. Normalize subjects' time series datasets to percent change values in preparation for group analysis: Voxel-by-voxel, the example below divides each intensity value in the time series (epi_r1+orig) with the voxel's mean value (mean+orig) to get a percent change value. The 'ispositive' command will ignore voxels with mean values less than 167 (i.e., they are labeled as 'zero' in the output file 'percent_change+orig') and are most likely background/noncortical voxels. 3dcalc -a epi_run1+orig -b mean+orig \ -expr '100 * a/b * ispositive(b-167)' -prefix percent_chng 5. Create a compound mask from a statistical dataset, where 3 stimuli show activation. NOTE: 'step' and 'ispositive' are identical expressions that can be used interchangeably: 3dcalc -a 'func+orig[12]' -b 'func+orig[15]' -c 'func+orig[18]' \ -expr 'step(a-4.2)*step(b-2.9)*step(c-3.1)' \ -prefix compound_mask In this example, all 3 statistical criteria must be met at once for a voxel to be selected (value of 1) in this mask. 6. Same as example #5, but this time create a mask of 8 different values showing all combinations of activations (i.e., not only where everything is active, but also each stimulus individually, and all combinations). The output mask dataset labels voxel values as such: 0 = none active 1 = A only active 2 = B only active 3 = A and B only 4 = C only active 5 = A and C only 6 = B and C only 7 = all A, B, and C active 3dcalc -a 'func+orig[12]' -b 'func+orig[15]' -c 'func+orig[18]' \ -expr 'step(a-4.2)+2*step(b-2.9)+4*step(c-3.1)' \ -prefix mask_8 In displaying such a binary-encoded mask in AFNI, you would probably set the color display to have 8 discrete levels (the '#' menu). 7. Create a region-of-interest mask comprised of a 3-dimensional sphere. Values within the ROI sphere will be labeled as '1' while values outside the mask will be labeled as '0'. Statistical analyses can then be done on the voxels within the ROI sphere. The example below puts a solid ball (sphere) of radius 3=sqrt(9) about the point with coordinates (x,y,z)=(20,30,70): 3dcalc -a anat+tlrc \ -expr 'step(9-(x-20)*(x-20)-(y-30)*(y-30)-(z-70)*(z-70))' \ -prefix ball The spatial meaning of (x,y,z) is discussed in the 'COORDINATES' section of this help listing (far below). 8. Some datsets are 'short' (16 bit) integers with a scalar attached, which allow them to be smaller than float datasets and to contain fractional values. Dataset 'a' is always used as a template for the output dataset. For the examples below, assume that datasets d1+orig and d2+orig consist of small integers. a) When dividing 'a' by 'b', the result should be scaled, so that a value of 2.4 is not truncated to '2'. To avoid this truncation, force scaling with the -fscale option: 3dcalc -a d1+orig -b d2+orig -expr 'a/b' -prefix quot -fscale b) If it is preferable that the result is of type 'float', then set the output data type (datum) to float: 3dcalc -a d1+orig -b d2+orig -expr 'a/b' -prefix quot \ -datum float c) Perhaps an integral division is desired, so that 9/4=2, not 2.24. Force the results not to be scaled (opposite of example 8a) using the -nscale option: 3dcalc -a d1+orig -b d2+orig -expr 'a/b' -prefix quot -nscale 9. Compare the left and right amygdala between the Talairach atlas, and the CA_N27_ML atlas. The result will be 1 if TT only, 2 if CA only, and 3 where they overlap. 3dcalc -a 'TT_Daemon::amygdala' -b 'CA_N27_ML::amygdala' \ -expr 'step(a)+2*step(b)' -prefix compare.maps (see 'whereami -help' for more information on atlases) 10. Convert a dataset from AFNI short format storage to NIfTI-1 floating point (perhaps for input to an non-AFNI program that requires this): 3dcalc -a zork+orig -prefix zfloat.nii -datum float -expr 'a' This operation could also be performed with program 3dAFNItoNIFTI. 11. Compute the edge voxels of a mask dataset. An edge voxel is one that shares some face with a non-masked voxel. This computation assumes 'a' is a binary mask (particularly for 'amongst'). 3dcalc -a mask+orig -prefix edge \ -b a+i -c a-i -d a+j -e a-j -f a+k -g a-k \ -expr 'a*amongst(0,b,c,d,e,f,g)' consider similar erode or dilate operations: erosion: -expr 'a*(1-amongst(0,b,c,d,e,f,g))' dilation: -expr 'amongst(1,a,b,c,d,e,f,g)' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ARGUMENTS for 3dcalc (must be included on command line): ~1~ --------- -a dname = Read dataset 'dname' and call the voxel values 'a' in the expression (-expr) that is input below. Up to 26 dnames (-a, -b, -c, ... -z) can be included in a single 3dcalc calculation/expression. ** If some letter name is used in the expression, but not present in one of the dataset options here, then that variable is set to 0. ** You can use the subscript '[]' method to select sub-bricks of datasets, as in -b dname+orig'[3]' ** If you just want to test some 3dcalc expression, you can supply a dataset 'name' of the form jRandomDataset:64,64,16,40 to have the program create and use a dataset with a 3D 64x64x16 grid, with 40 time points, filled with random numbers (uniform on [-1,1]). -expr = Apply the expression - within quotes - to the input datasets (dnames), one voxel at time, to produce the output dataset. ** You must use 1 and only 1 '-expr' option! NOTE: If you want to average or sum up a lot of datasets, programs 3dTstat and/or 3dMean and/or 3dmerge are better suited for these purposes. A common request is to increase the number of input datasets beyond 26, but in almost all cases such users simply want to do simple addition! NOTE: If you want to include shell variables in the expression (or in the dataset sub-brick selection), then you should use double "quotes" and the '$' notation for the shell variables; this example uses csh notation to set the shell variable 'z': set z = 3.5 3dcalc -a moose.nii -prefix goose.nii -expr "a*$z" The shell will not expand variables inside single 'quotes', and 3dcalc's parser will not understand the '$' character. NOTE: You can use the ccalc program to play with the expression evaluator, in order to get a feel for how it works and what it accepts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPTIONS for 3dcalc: ~1~ ------- -help = Show this help. -verbose = Makes the program print out various information as it progresses. -datum type= Coerce the output data to be stored as the given type, which may be byte, short, or float. [default = datum of first input dataset] -float } -short } = Alternative options to specify output data format. -byte } -fscale = Force scaling of the output to the maximum integer range. This only has effect if the output datum is byte or short (either forced or defaulted). This option is often necessary to eliminate unpleasant truncation artifacts. [The default is to scale only if the computed values seem to need it -- are all <= 1.0 or there is at least one value beyond the integer upper limit.] ** In earlier versions of 3dcalc, scaling (if used) was applied to all sub-bricks equally -- a common scale factor was used. This would cause trouble if the values in different sub-bricks were in vastly different scales. In this version, each sub-brick gets its own scale factor. To override this behavior, use the '-gscale' option. -gscale = Same as '-fscale', but also forces each output sub-brick to get the same scaling factor. This may be desirable for 3D+time datasets, for example. ** N.B.: -usetemp and -gscale are incompatible!! -nscale = Don't do any scaling on output to byte or short datasets. This may be especially useful when operating on mask datasets whose output values are only 0's and 1's. ** Only use this option if you are sure you want the output dataset to be integer-valued! -prefix pname = Use 'pname' for the output dataset prefix name. [default='calc'] -session dir = Use 'dir' for the output dataset session directory. [default='./'=current working directory] You can also include the output directory in the 'pname' parameter to the -prefix option. -usetemp = With this option, a temporary file will be created to hold intermediate results. This will make the program run slower, but can be useful when creating huge datasets that won't all fit in memory at once. * The program prints out the name of the temporary file; if 3dcalc crashes, you might have to delete this file manually. ** N.B.: -usetemp and -gscale are incompatible!! -dt tstep = Use 'tstep' as the TR for "manufactured" 3D+time *OR* datasets. -TR tstep = If not given, defaults to 1 second. -taxis N = If only 3D datasets are input (no 3D+time or .1D files), *OR* then normally only a 3D dataset is calculated. With -taxis N:tstep: this option, you can force the creation of a time axis of length 'N', optionally using time step 'tstep'. In such a case, you will probably want to use the pre- defined time variables 't' and/or 'k' in your expression, or each resulting sub-brick will be identical. For example: '-taxis 121:0.1' will produce 121 points in time, spaced with TR 0.1. N.B.: You can also specify the TR using the -dt option. N.B.: You can specify 1D input datasets using the '1D:n@val,n@val' notation to get a similar effect. For example: -dt 0.1 -w '1D:121@0' will have pretty much the same effect as -taxis 121:0.1 N.B.: For both '-dt' and '-taxis', the 'tstep' value is in seconds. -rgbfac A B C = For RGB input datasets, the 3 channels (r,g,b) are collapsed to one for the purposes of 3dcalc, using the formula value = A*r + B*g + C*b The default values are A=0.299 B=0.587 C=0.114, which gives the grayscale intensity. To pick out the Green channel only, use '-rgbfac 0 1 0', for example. Note that each channel in an RGB dataset is a byte in the range 0..255. Thus, '-rgbfac 0.001173 0.002302 0.000447' will compute the intensity rescaled to the range 0..1.0 (i.e., 0.001173=0.299/255, etc.) -cx2r METHOD = For complex input datasets, the 2 channels must be converted to 1 real number for calculation. The methods available are: REAL IMAG ABS PHASE * The default method is ABS = sqrt(REAL^2+IMAG^2) * PHASE = atan2(IMAG,REAL) * Multiple '-cx2r' options can be given: when a complex dataset is given on the command line, the most recent previous method will govern. This also means that for -cx2r to affect a variable it must precede it. For example, to compute the phase of data in 'a' you should use 3dcalc -cx2r PHASE -a dft.lh.TS.niml.dset -expr 'a' However, the -cx2r option will have no effect in 3dcalc -a dft.lh.TS.niml.dset -cx2r PHASE -expr 'a' which will produce the default ABS of 'a' The -cx2r option in the latter example only applies to variables that will be defined after it. When in doubt, check your output. * If a complex dataset is used in a differential subscript, then the most recent previous -cx2r method applies to the extraction; for example -cx2r REAL -a cx+orig -cx2r IMAG -b 'a[0,0,0,0]' means that variable 'a' refers to the real part of the input dataset and variable 'b' to the imaginary part of the input dataset. * 3dcalc cannot be used to CREATE a complex dataset! [See program 3dTwotoComplex for that purpose.] -sort = Sort each output brick separately, before output: -SORT 'sort' ==> increasing order, 'SORT' ==> decreasing. [This is useful only under unusual circumstances!] [Sorting is done in spatial indexes, not in time.] [Program 3dTsort will sort voxels along time axis] -isola = After computation, remove isolated non-zero voxels. This option can be repeated to iterate the process; each copy of '-isola' will cause the isola removal process to be repeated one more time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DATASET TYPES: ~1~ ------------- The most common AFNI dataset types are 'byte', 'short', and 'float'. A byte value is an 8-bit signed integer (0..255), a short value ia a 16-bit signed integer (-32768..32767), and a float value is a 32-bit real number. A byte value has almost 3 decimals of accuracy, a short has almost 5, and a float has approximately 7 (from a 23+1 bit mantissa). Datasets can also have a scalar attached to each sub-brick. The main use of this is allowing a short type dataset&n
