HExample:
í 3dROIstats -mask ROI_fred+tlrc Ôfunc_fred+tlrcÕ
åOutput shown in the shell (use > command to save into to a text file):
å
íFile Sub-brick Mean_1 Mean_2 Mean_3
ífunc_fred+tlrc 0 33.3 44.4 55.5
ífunc_fred+tlrc 1 22.2 66.6 -21.2
ífunc_fred+tlrc 2 2.3 9.7 777.777
í
åThe Mean_1 column is the average
over the ROI whose mask value is Ò1Ó.
The average is calculated for voxels
from our functional dataset func_fred+tlrc, that fall
within the ROI. Averages are
computed at each sub-brick (#0, #1, #2,
etc)
íMeans have also been
computed for ROIs whose mask value is Ò2Ó (Mean_2) and Ò3Ó (Mean_3)
HVery useful if you creat ROI
masks for a number of subjects, using the same number codes for the same
anatomical regions (e.g., 1=hippocampus, 2=amygdala, 3=superior temporal gyrus,
etc.)
HYou can load the output of 3dROIstats into a spreadsheet for
further analysis (e.g., statistics with other subjectsÕ data)
