The ces.nii.gz file will contain the percent with respect to the mean signal in the brain.
The cespct.nii.gz will contain the percent with respect to the mean time series of the voxel.

        External Email - Use Caution        

Hi, dear FS experts,
     I'm trying to use mir_segstats to extract % signal change in task fMRI analysis. The command is:
    • mri_segstats --I ./ces.nii.gz --annot fsaverage rh perm.th30.pos.sig.ocn.annot --excludeid 0 --avgwf rh.ces.avgwf.dat;
There are two kinds of contract files (ces.nii.gz and cesspit.nii.gz), and I wonder which one should be used to calculate extract % signal change.
In another words, if I use “mri_segstats  —i cespct.nii.gz --avgwf file.dat”, does the  file.dat contain "% signal change" data? (The webpage says “ avewf means computes the average waveform across all the voxel" )
Thx a lot!

Star
