Hi Doug,

Thanks. Just to confirm, for the negative-only maps, I assume I would set max = -2 in mni_binarize, e.g.:

mri_binarize --i condAvfix.sig.mgh --max -2 --o condAvfix.sig.neg.mask.mgh
mri_binarize --i condBvfix.sig.mgh --max -2 --o condBvfix.sig.neg.mask.mgh

Is that correct?

you would create a mask from the uncorrected results, eg,

mri_binarize --i condAvfix.sig.mgh --min 2 --o condAvfix.sig.mask.mgh
mri_binarize --i condBvfix.sig.mgh --min 2 --o condBvfix.sig.mask.mgh
fscalc condAvfix.sig.mask.mgh and condBvfix.sig.mask.mgh - o condA-and-Bvfix.sig.mask.mgh

The mri_binarize commands mask to anything with a sig>2 (so positive only)

Then run mri_glmfit on condAvcondB and using condA-and-Bvfix.sig.mask.mgh as the mask (--mask), then run mri_glmfit-sim on that analysis. Note that you will have to rerun the simulation because the search space will have changed.

Hi Doug,

I have been running this analysis as I described in my previous email by clustering pos and neg activation separately using glmfit-sim for condAvfix, condBvfix, and condAvcondB, and then making conjunction maps. It occurred to me that you had mentioned in your response that is might be possible to use the /uncorrected/ maps first and then cluster-correct the final conjunction map. However, I cannot find a way to get pos-only or neg-only sig maps without running glmfit-sim. Is there a way to make pos-only sig maps or neg-only sig maps with just mri_glmfit? If so, how?? I can only identify how to do that with mri_glmfit-sim. Can I set mri_glmfit-sim to some parameters that will essentially make them uncorrected but still segregate pos and neg activation?

Thanks so much,
~Sue

    Hi Sue, that looks correct. I think it is an open question as to
    whether you should use the corrected maps or use the uncorrected
    and then correct the final map. Maybe someone else can chime in.

        Hi Doug,

        This is /very/ helpful.


        Procedurally, would this be the correct approach?

        For positive % signal change from baseline clusters, use these
        files resulting from mri_glmfit-sim:
        condAvFix.th3.pos.sig.cluster.nii
        condBvFix.th3.pos.sig.cluster.nii
        condAvscondB.th3.pos.sig.cluster.nii

        then run:
        % mri_concat --i condAvFix.th3.pos.sig.cluster.nii --i
        condBvFix.th3.pos.sig.cluster.nii --i
        condAvscondB.th3.pos.sig.cluster.nii --conjunct --o
        positive.AvsB.nii

        For negative % signal change from baseline clusters, use these
        files resulting from mri_glmfit-sim:
        condAvFix.th3.neg.sig.cluster.nii
        condBvFix.th3.neg.sig.cluster.nii
        condAvscondB.th3.pos.sig.cluster.niigrf.th3.pos.sig.cluster.nii

        then run:
        % mri_concat --i condAvFix.th3.neg.sig.cluster.nii --i
        condBvFix.th3.neg.sig.cluster.nii --i
        condAvscondB.th3.pos.sig.cluster.nii --conjunct --o
        negative.AvsB.nii

        Note that for positive activation differences I would use
        sign=pos for each condition vs fixation during mri_glmfit-sim,
        and for "deactivation" clusters I use sign=neg for each
        condition vs fixation during mri_glmfit-sim. BUT for both
        cases I use sign=pos for condition A vs. condition B.

        Thanks so much!

        Best,
        ~Sue

            Hi Sue, I agree that they are not the same thing. There is
        not a
            single
            flag that will do what you want. What you are describing
        is a post-hoc
            test. So you look for places where A != B, then within those
            voxels you
            do posthoc tests. You can implement this with a
        conjunction analysis
            where you set up threeway conjunction A>B and A>0 and B>0.
        You can do
            this with the --conjunt option to mri_concat
