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 doug On 10/21/2013 02:13 PM, Susan Ruiz wrote: > Hi all, > > When running a functional analysis and comparing two experimental > conditions, we observed that there are some voxels/vertices where both > condition A and condition B have a positive % signal change from > baseline, and condition A has greater activity than condition B. > > In other regions, both condition A and condition B have negative % > signal change from baseline, but condition B has a greater absolute > value % signal change (thus relative to baseline condition B has more > "deactivation"--a term I am using since you all know what I mean even > if the term itself is imperfect). > > Since, in both cases, the % signal change is technically condition A > > condition B, the between-conditions maps do not distinguish these two > scenarios.
