Basics of AFNI Group Analyses (Part 3)

It’s been a while since I’ve touched on this topic (Part 1, Part 2).  Recently the topic of doing t-tests has come up a lot in the area around where my desk is situated.  In vastly over simplified thinking, I think the three most common approaches to using t-tests in MRI data are as follows: […]

Single Subject Analysis on the Surface (SUMA)

I had previous posted about displaying the fMRI results onto the cortical surface.  It’s been brought to my attention that this post wasn’t as clear as it could be!  I know, it happens from time to time!  So let’s try this again!  Let’s start with a straightforward topic – processing data at the single-subejct level on […]

Adventures in AFNI ROI combinations

I’ve written about ROI creation in AFNI a few times before (one, two, three).  When we draw ROIs or use 3dUndump, we usually end up with multiple ROIs in one file, each with a different label.  In contrast, when we use whereami to create atlas regions, we usually end up with one ROI per file. […]

R for MRI Lovers (Part 1)

Like many scientists, I learned SPSS a long long time ago.  It was free and installed on any computer at my undergraduate institution.  And like many people, I found the pull-down menus useful and sometimes endearing.  But when I went to grad school I was thrust into a world of using SAS.  Many a groans […]

Dealing with transforms in AFNI (Part 1)

AFNI’s main tool for dealing with transforms is cat_matvec, but in many cases you may not need to use it!  Everyone knows that transform matrices are confusing — I’ll do a post later on just covering them — but for now, I think we can all agree that it’s a relief anytime you don’t have to […]
