Agreement between software packages

Always nice when there is agreement between different neuroimaging packages.  A quick block design analyzed in both AFNI and FSL – giving pretty similar results for the same participant.     Both packages have distinct advantages.  For AFNI: 1) it’s faster ; 2) it has more customizable options; 3) the viewer allows you to adjust […]

Creating automated snapshots of fMRI activation

There are plenty of times when you want to create snapshot images at a particular threshold so that you can quickly view the activation profiles of all participants within a given study.  AFNI offers this functionality through a plugout_drive application where you can tell AFNI to change overlay, underlay, threshold, etc and even save the screenshots […]
