¥ STEP 3C: Calculate a voxel-by-voxel percent signal change with 3dcalc
G
GTake the 136 intensity values within each voxel, divide
each one by the mean intensity value for that voxel (that we calculated in
Step 3B), and multiply by 100 to get a
percent signal change at each timepoint
GThis is where the A/B*100
equation comes into play

å foreach run (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)
å 3dcalc -a ED_r{$run}_vr_bl+orig \

åOutput of 3dcalc: 10
normalized datasets for Subject ED, where the signal intensity value at each timepoint has now been
replaced with a percent signal change
